Alibi
|
I'm trying hard to understand you
And your over-rated state of mind
Sometimes you try to move me to you
And make believe that it's all fine
(chorus)
You say you love me, yes you do
But I know who I'm talking to
You left me so lonely and 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 to live my life that way, no way
Every storm deserves an ending
And a break to peaceful skies
And every night I pray for my own mending
(repeat chorus)
Parading around like you're a superstar
Is that who you think you are
The higher you go, yeah, the harder you fall
You say you love me, yes you do
But I know who I'm talking to
You left me so lonely and 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 to live my life that way, no way

Loss For Words
|
I'm at a loss,
I'm at a loss for words, I really want to say
I'm finding for myself
What can I do
When every road I travel leads me back to you
Instead of somewhere else
I apologize
(chorus)
Cause what I wanted to say
Never came out the way
I wanted it to, I wanted it to
Cause what I wanted to say
Only got in the way
I never meant to hurt you
But I didn't have a clue
I'm just a man
I'm just a man in need of something better than
I'm finding for myself
You count the cost
For everything you gain there's always something lost
You're worth so much more
Listen to my heart whispering
I need you
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Empty words cannot suffice
I've been runnin' from what I know is right
When only Yours are words of life
(repeat chorus)
Every time you come around
Every time I make a sound

Bonded
|
There's a place I like to go, yeah
Far away where nobody knows
And the sun never goes down
I can lose myself in the light I've found
Cause when I am in need
It's your love my heart receives
(chorus)
I'm bonded with the Son today
And the rays He gave, they light my way child
I'm bonded with the Son today
And I heard Him say "It's all right now"
People come, people go, yeah
Some leave you when you need them the most
God is love, He longs to be
More than you can believe
Taste, taste and see That this love, this love is good
(repeat chorus)
I'm bonded with the Son, the Son
I wanna lay everything (down) at Your feet
I wanna see You in my dreams
Speak to me
Take me to a higher place
So I can see
(repeat chorus)

All You Got
|
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

Spy
|
I've watched you watchin' me
But I can't see what you see
You ask me how I feel
But you don't believe me still
No
Cause what I say
Is here today
And gone tomorrow
(chorus)
You treat me like a spy
When I come around
Just like a private eye
Roamin' through your town
You treat me like a spy
And I can't see why
If only looks could kill
You taunt me
You doubt my faith
But you shove it in my face
You tempt me
But I won't bend
You've wasted your time again
Yeah
And it's a shame
Will you ever change
You're so suspicious
(repeat chorus)
You treat me like a…
You treat me like a…
You treat me like a spy

Talk About Jesus
|
You never told me
But you always said
You'll be here, we'll pray for you
Echoes in my head
I still remember longing to escape
Like a man in prison chains
Is my life in vain
(chorus)
I cry out for you to hear
And I wonder does anybody care
You talk about Jesus, how He set you free
You talk about a Savior, how He died for me
I don't understand it, what you're talking about
All I see is pain when I look around
All I ever wanted, never wanted me
All the dreams that I lived for have left me incomplete
Now I'm still searching, if I could find the truth
But these voices haunting me have left me so confused
(repeat chorus)
When I was cold, did you let me in
When I was hungry, were you my friend
When I was down and out and I needed your hand
Did you see a chance or just a desperate man
(repeat chorus)
Oh you say we're equal, all men are brothers
But why are the rich more equal than others
Yeah more equal than others
Don't ask the answers, I've only got one
When a man leaves his darkness he follows the Son

American Tragedy
|
Well, it's just not the things we're used to down here
I mean, they come in and they sit down, and
And we're not used to 'em sittin' down beside us
And I wasn't raised with 'em, I never have lived with 'em
And I'm not gonna start now
Art is in motion, look around
At the everyday people in the everyday towns
Love is an ocean as deep as the sky
Gotta keep our arms open or we're never gonna fly
(chorus)
Yeah, it's a tragedy
All the hate I see
Am I left to be
A slave to history
Love's our common ground
Yeah, my skin is brown
Ain't no sweeter sound
Walls are tumblin' down
I can't deny it overwhelms
That changin' your world is changin' yourself
You can't tell me that you've already tried
Cause we're never gonna shine until we swallow our pride
(repeat chorus)
[During the weeks...]
[I love people]
[I wasn't raised with 'em]
[I never have lived with 'em]
[And I'm not gonna start now]
[I'm sorry, I'm sorry]
[Our management does not allow us to serve]
[Does not allow us to serve niggers in here]
[This is sleepin' in a dangerous...]
[Love, oh love]
(repeat chorus)
The questions in you are the questions in me
And I'm no closer to answers than you are to me
If we just believe then we all can be free

Looking For You
|
Wide awake, chasing sleep
Life's so bittersweet
Like a dream, remembering
When I could talk to you
We were safe in a world of harm
Before I knew it our love was gone
I miss you so much
(chorus)
I'm looking for you
Cause you're all that's true to me
You make me smile
I had to fall, and lose it all
But that's all right with me
You pushed aside my selfish pride
You opened up my eyes
When I was lost you came to me
You crossed the oceans to set me free
I need you so much
(repeat chorus)
You, you're all I ever needed
I know, I know
Only you, you're all I ever wanted
I know, I know
You, you're more than a dream
Yeah, you're everything
My own symphony, you're my destiny
(repeat chorus)
I'm Looking for you
Ooh, I sing this for you
Cause nothing's as true to me
You make me smile
So I smile, yeah I smile
Every time I think of you
I smile, I do
Oh, every time I think of you
I'm looking for you
Cause you are my soul's desire
I'm searching for you
Yes, you are my soul's desire
I'm looking for you
Cause you are my soul's desire
You are my soul's desire
My soul's desire
My soul's desire
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
You are, you are
My soul's desire, My my my soul's desire
Oh yeah, oh yeah, You are, You are

Altars
|
Can you feel the silent cries
Of a soul in need
Underneath the city lights
Their altars in the street
Through the walls I hear the sound
Of a beggar's plea
Looking for salvation from
The altars in the street
And it's so sad
People driftin' away
On a concrete sea
It's too bad, faded lives
(chorus)
Burn, won't you burn in me
Eternal flame
Won't you light my name
Burn in me
If God is "Grace" then "Bless the child"
Who's left alone tonight
Set him free, free to fly
Cause it's so sad
People wastin' away
In such a subtle display
It's too bad, sacred lives
(repeat chorus x2)
Though you fight
Still you lose
Everything you once held on to
And I know, yeah I know
Sometimes you hurt
(repeat chorus)
Oh, burn, won't you burn in me
You're my eternal flame
Why don't you light my name
Burn, burn, burn

Tell Me Why
|
I talked to Mother just today
She told me Daddy walked away
Now everything's about to change
I sought for words, I could not find
A thousand questions filled my mind
How could you throw it all away
My heart is left without a home
But I won't let it turn to stone
There's got to be another way
Cause I can't take this pain
(chorus)
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do people run away
Can we try, try to find
Try to find the will to stay
A beating heart, a tender kiss
Love is so much more than this
Always givin' in and never giving up
I know the man I want to be
I've seen enough of misery
It's time for me to break free, yeah
Doubt may whisper in my ear
But I will love in spite of fear
With everything inside of me
(Tell me) Is it just a dream
(repeat chorus)
I'm finally finding my way back to love
My way back to love again
I'm finally finding my way back to love
My way back to love again
Doubt may whisper in my ear
That I will love in spite of fear
With everything inside of me
Oh does anyone believe
(repeat chorus)
Cause every time you run
Every time you run away
Can we try, try try try try
You don't have to run
You don't have to run away
[Put me in red]

Carried Away
|
You're standing right behind me
I feel you breathing down my neck
I try to catch you, but you're gone
You whisper words that draw me
Into your web of influence
Your sweet illusion's like a song
You say my name
Like I'm the only game in this town
But just the same
You know you gotta stop hangin' around
(chorus)
'Cause I'm carried away
A full-on freak display
I've got so much to say
And you're never gonna get my crown
No you're never gonna shut me down
'Cause I'm carried away
You're such the fallen angel
You're such the villain in disguise
Tellin' dark and lovely lies
I dove right into your ocean
Tasted the salt of murky seas
I've seen beyond your mysteries
And I'm to blame
Thought I was the only game in this town
But you're so vain
That you're never gonna figure it out
(repeat chorus)
So carried away
I'm carried away, so carried away
Sticks and stones from your lofty throne
My soul's been set free
(repeat chorus)

Empty
|
If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man
I dreamed of
And if I woo the crowd
And their screams are loud
Is it really me that they love
What does it profit
What does it profit me
(chorus)
If I gain the whole world
And lose my own soul
What would be said of me
Oh my vanity, vanity's
Chasin' the wind
And I'm feelin' empty again, yeah
I'm feelin' empty again
If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man
I dreamed of
And if I woo the crowd
And their screams are loud
Is it really me that they love
What does it profit
What does it profit me
(repeat chorus)
If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man
I dreamed of
(repeat chorus x2)
Jesus come fill me again

Unglued
|
Restless and alone
A weary soul has traveled home
What am I to do
In a world without you
I don't want to believe
I turned around and you're gone
All the sweet memories
Of loving you for so long
(chorus)
Sometimes it's hard
Most times I cry
But God holds this heart of mine
He feels the pain inside
Broken and undone
You're were the one we counted on
You taught us how to say
I love you
Then you showed us how to pray
I don't want to believe
I turned around and you're gone
All the sweet memories
Of loving you for so long
Sometimes it's hard
Most times I cry
But God holds this heart of mine
And He heals the pain I hide
Sometimes it's hard (so hard)
Most times I cry
But God knows this heart of mine
He feels the pain inside
[And He said]
[Come un to me]
[All you that are heavy laden]
[And I will give you rest]
[For my yoke is easy]
[And my burden is light]
