    I waited patiently for the Lord
    He inclined and heard my cry
    He brought me up out of my pit
    Out of the miry clay

    (chorus)
    And I will sing, sing a new song
    I will sing, sing a new song, yeah
    How long to sing this song
    How long to sing this song
    How long, how long, how long, how long
    To sing this song

    He placed my feet upon this rock
    He made my footsteps so firm
    Many could see, many could see and fear

    (repeat chorus)

    Alibi (Tait)

    I'm trying hard to understand you
    And your overrated state of mind
    Sometimes you try to move me to you
    And makebelieve that it's all fine

    And you say you love me yes you do
    But I know who I'm talking to
    You left me so loney, empty
    And I don't need your alibis
    Cause I can see through all your lies
    You say you love me and I'll need you
    But I don't need you in my life that way
    No way

    And every storm deserves an ending
    And a break to peacful skies
    And every night I pray for my own mending

    (chorus)
    And you say you love me yes you do
    But I know who I'm talking to
    You left me so loney, empty
    And I don't need your alibis
    Cause I can see through your disguise
    You say you love me and I'll need you
    But I don't need you in my life that way
    No way

    Parading around like you're a superstar
    Is that who you think you are
    The higher you go, yeah, the harder you fall

    (repeat chorus)

    [ Back To Top ]

    All You Got (Tait)

    Heard you say that no one
    Seems to care about you
    It's in your eyes
    You think that lifes unfair to you
    Just give it all you got my friend
    Just give it all you got, it's not the end

    (chorus)
    Cause you outta know
    There's a reason for these changing seasons
    God only knows how much your heart can bear
    So don't you let go
    Everybody has their up and down times
    Everybody needs to know how much they're loved
    My friend, so hold on, it's not the end

    As I remember, everything you touch
    Will turn to gold, you held a secret
    To make your grandest dreams unfold
    You were the very best of us all
    But the sun that rises still falls

    (repeat chorus)

    It's just a love song
    Cause everybody needs a friend
    And I'll be right here for you
    It's just a simple prayer
    It's from the bottom of my heart
    That he'll never let you go

    (repeat chorus 2x)

    It's just a love song

    [ Back To Top ]

    Return Of The Singer (Kmax)

    I'm coming out like a 45
    Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
    Feeling like electroglide
    Touchdown satallite, feel alright
    Tonight return of love
    Return, return of the singer

    So twist me up and watch me turn
    Just like a falling star about to burn
    Sending down an outward thrust
    The curtains up baby, it's all or bust
    Tonight return of the love you get
    Return, return of the singer

    It's tailor made and it's heaven sent
    Just think about the time we spent
    The way we move, the words we said
    If nothing else a testament
    Oh my love, oh my baby
    No one else can make me crazy like you
    Like you

    Cause we're all about to move on
    No one here without a sound
    Pilfering the planet's blood
    Been making up the moment from after the flood
    Tonight return of love
    Return, return, return of the singer

    I'll tell you how it's gonna be
    We're gonna make some history
    A microphone, the truth we need
    No joke, no trend, no fad of the week
    Horde of angels, sing as one
    You know my heart has come undone again, again

    Oh, pressure

    Return of love
    Return of the singer
    Return of love
    Return, return of the singer

    [ Back To Top ]

    Be (Kmax)

    All in all we're fading
    Like a soul lost in the wilderness
    We're cold and we're cut off from it
    Not knowing where it's gonna end
    There's a star in Bethlehem
    It's calling you
    It's a memory of one who made it

    (chorus)
    Be, be yourself
    There's no one who does it quite like you
    And be no one else
    Cause if you don't then who is going to
    You're a tribute to the best of us

    We follow everybody else
    Not knowing what we're made for
    The mecca of the insecure
    The sign and the mark of the popular
    There's a new face on the television
    It's a new host with the same derision

    (repeat chours)

    The time is now
    No reason to look back
    Just like an infant born You've got to catch your breath
    And I'm learning Father
    Yes and I'm going farther

    (repeat chours)

    Light a path you're supposed to see
    Just like the salt that filters through the need
    Like the star that's falling from the sky
    Just like the apple of your daddy's eye

    [ Back To Top ]

    Somebody's Watching (tobyMac)

    Watch baby, watch baby
    I got it like that
    Watch baby, watch baby
    So, I got it like that

    Suggestions, questions
    People want to know
    Is there life after talk
    Cause there's talk on the road
    Twisting words that I've never even said
    To the ones that I trust
    Or my "Boo" in our bed
    Will he make it, man I bet he won't
    As they're runnin' through their minutes
    On their cell phones
    So the pictures painted, you got the point
    And that junk's creepin' into my solo joint

    (chorus)
    Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
    In the cool of the shade of the bright sunlight
    I always feel like somebody's watching me
    Watch baby, watch baby He got my back
    See I'm down with the king so I got it like that
    I always feel like somebody's watching me
    Watch baby, watch baby He got my back
    See I'm down with the king so I got it like that

    It's no joke, I've been roped in
    Chokin' on a bone
    From a fish in the school
    Of your twilight zone
    You shook me, took me to another place
    Where the air I'm breathin's
    Like mace in my face
    If this controversy is your way
    You need to know I'll never doubt my destiny
    Cause I'm stickin' to my guns like a
    Son of the Light
    Feelin' Dad, I'm feelin' Daddy in the air tonight

    Sometimes I feel grace in the middle of the night
    In the cool of the shade of the bright sunlight
    Sometimes I feel God in the midst of a show
    As the palm trees sway at an afterglow

    (repeat chorus 2x)

    Toby Mac
    Sometimes I feel grace in the middle of the night
    Toby Mac
    Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
    Toby Mac
    Sometimes I feel God, sometimes I feel grace
    Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
    In the middle of the day, in the middle of the night
    Toby Mac

    (repeat chorus 2x)

    [ Back To Top ]

    Extreme Days (tobyMac)

    We're livin' in extreme days

    Comin' at ya like a whirlwind
    A hundred miles an hour's where we'll begin
    I spy the eye of apprehension
    Show me risk and you'll get my attention

    Come on, can ya take it
    Bang to the bip I make ya wanna flip
    Take my trip and you can bust to your lip
    I never fear 'cause I live fearless
    Don't even think for a second you can get with this

    (chorus)
    Come on, I never fake it, come on
    These are extreme, extreme days
    We're livin' in extreme days
    These are extreme, extreme days
    We're livin' in extreme days

    I'm a freak from the burbs of the chocolate city
    Luther Jackson was my middle
    Pine Ridge my elementary
    School of hip hope 1979
    And Sugar Hill had the skills that taught me to rhyme

    Got hip to KISS and I tripped on Zeppelin
    Mr. Therapist-why did I go this direction
    God had a plan to end all my schemes
    I had a dream He said to be
    Extreme

    (repeat chorus)

    Just the other day I saw kid
    Who flipped his hat to the back and he called it a lid
    You know what else he did? [What?]
    He stacked books from the floor to the ceiling
    Said something about trying to get to Heaven
    He was only eleven
    But he climbed to the top with outstretched arms
    And he screamed at the top of his lungs

    Move out my way
    Give up the mic
    X to me is extremely Christ
    Livin' up in me
    Like it or not
    Put an X on my chest
    'Cuz X marks the spot

    (repeat chorus 2x)
