Hard to find a way to get through
It's a tragedy
Pulling at me like the stars do
You're like gravity
Even if the wind blows
It makes it hard to believe
How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
And If you lost your way
I will keep you safe
We'll open up all the world inside
I see it come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
Doesn't even matter to you
To see what I can see
I'm crawling on the floor to reach you
I'm a wreck you see
When you're far from home now
Makes it hard to believe
So how ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
If you've lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all your world inside
Til you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
We all fall down
We all feel down
Cus rainy days and summer highs
The more we pray the more we feel alive
How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
If you've lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all your world inside
So you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
Well I will keep you safe
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay
All on my own
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love ...
Somebody, somebody ...
Can anybody find me somebody to love? ...
I got the new face tape I'm about to
Pop in the deck for you niggaz
Turn up your radios
You're down and out, money funny, you hustle and die
On the verge of pawnin' your jewelry and sellin' your ride
Somebody shoulda told him ain't no life in these streets
You only out here till you touch it, when you touch it you eat
Niggaz done took too many chances shovelin' snow
And ended up facin' a lifetime for tryin' to sco'
I'm givin livin' definitions on the subject of dope
One week he back on his feet, the next he's whoa
I was a seventies baby, raised in the eighties
I was barely touchin sixteen when shit got crazy
I remember in the eighties, me and pop would ride
Now we conversate on acres, he's about to buy
He had already been what I'm about to go through
Told me ain't no sense in gamblin' if you gamble to lose
If you made twelve dollars, you put seven away
And lived off the five, and never ever fuck with ya safe
But when
When he hustle and he robbin'
That's when niggaz start plottin'
And when you niggaz start plottin'
Us country niggaz start mobbin', mobbin'
I'm 'bout my paper, these other niggaz slang for the sport
Like unaware tomorrow ain't promised, the game is too short
I've witnessed niggaz get it all and give it away
Gettin' back was out of the question, they lived for today
Then the hunger pains start up, then the murderous plots
To set up, they fuckin' homeboy to get what he got
I mean the ones he broke the bread with, the ones you don't want
To be the ones fuckin' your girlfriend, the moment you out
I know the street game backwards, forwards, sideways
It used to be an honest hustle back then but nowadays
It's cut throat, that's fucked up, niggaz want they come up
So bad they'll take the three fifty seven and smoke they brother
A damn shame but that's the way the game go
A chance niggaz is takin' especially if they slang dope
I've been in that position, back in the day
And feel my homey, hittin' my head to crack in my safe
And that's when
When ya hustle ain't evolvin'
That's when niggaz start starvin'
And when you niggaz start starvin'
That's when you niggaz start robbin'
When these niggaz got problems
That's when niggaz start plottin'
And when you niggaz start plottin'
Us country niggaz start mobbin', mobbin'
So listen up my niggaz, and I ain't tryin' to preach
I'm just tellin' it from my side 'cause I'm in the streets
I done been there, done that, seen a whole neighborhood
Destroyed by the government bein' tipped off by one rat
He caught a dope case and they threatened him with time
He get his own fuckin' people jammed and he take the five
That's the shit there, they ain't even catch him with dope
But they gave him thirty five years 'cause the nigga didn't spoke
Snitchin', that's a motherfucker, watch what you say
You don't know no motherfuckin' body, nigga, you lame
Watch your so called homeboys, keep to yourself
Stay away from niggaz gettin' caught then get out of jail
Don't talk about your business, keep your thoughts in your head
And this game it got a paper trail, watch where you spend
Don't write down names and numbers, it's a memory thang
Never shit where you sleep, keep the crib out of range
And plus you never let these niggaz know where you stay
'Cause when the push turns to a shove, they hit and you say
True motherfuckin' game, true motherfuckin' game
When ya hustle ain't evolvin'
That's when niggaz start starvin'
And when you niggaz start starvin'
That's when you niggaz start robbin'
When these niggaz got problems
That's when niggaz start plottin'
And when you niggaz start plottin'
Take all the goods from all the bads
And tell the people that you've gone away
Now lift your head up to the sky
And now you can tell apart the black from the white
And you wish the time they treasure dear
And my only thought is that they could be right
Well look, there goes another year
About as distant as a satellite
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel Safe - so Safe
So Safe
The world's a small child in the dark
And my mind's the same place that it's always been
The monsters seem to fade so fast
Upon the waking of another dream
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel safe, I feel so brave
I'm not afraid of anything they've got to say
If you're okay, because your tucked away
Don't go astray
You've got to be just who you are, who you are
When I was young things didnt last
My only cares went to the price of sweets
Now I'm more older I can laugh
All this noise is making me nervous
I feel every slammed door and drunken laugh
Sometimes there's no room for breathing
Take me to a colony and leave me in Antarctica
The living germs keep these buildings alive
And everyday we feed them with our dirt and rotten memories
The front window in the house his mother left him
Is just another beacon in a sea of dark yellow
This place speaks to him, it's got it's own language
Cold comfort through the gill cracked plaster
Looks at him with eyes in paint blisters
Squeezes music through a cheap transistor
Voice of mothers
With their prisoners for brothers
And the bug-eyed little creatures
Terrifying stupid teachers
Who then take it out on weaklings
Spawning killing spree control freaks
Who get married in their prisons
To abused and lonely women
I'm clean and I'm clinging
Like I've never held on to anything in my life
I'm clean and I'm clinging to you
I'm clean and I'm clinging
Like I've never held on to anything in my life
I'm clean and I'm clinging to you
I'm clean and I'm clinging
Like I've never held on to anything in my life
I'm clean and I'm clinging to you
I'm clean and I'm clinging
Like I've never held on to anything in my life
These tired lips are sealed
Although this angry mouth is filled
With words to fracture an unknowing heart
Enough to tear your very world apart
Turning my knowing look away
Fumbling for something to say
God only knows I've done things I regret
So many I'm trying hard to forget
So if you're wondering
You can be
Safe in the knowledge
That your secret's safe with me
Can't help wondering
What you'd do
If you found out she'd done the same to you
There's no logic, there's no gain
There's no way you can explain
Not that I want or expect you to
We're all the prisoners of the things we do
So if you're wondering
You can be
Safe in the knowledge
That your secret's safe with me
Can't help wondering
What you'd do
If you found out she'd done the same to you
Safe in the knowledge, safe
Safe in the knowledge, safe
So if you're wondering
You can be
Safe in the knowledge
That your secret's safe with me
Can't help wondering
What you'd do
If you found out she'd done the same to you
How did you know
That I'm all alone today
Oh I feel so scared
And I want to go away
I bleed so deep underneath
My soul is screaming
I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters
And the bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe
Drowning the tears
Won't make it go away
It's robbing my soul
So I've taken this mask off my face, Yea
To discover love
And uncover all
It means to live and breathe
I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love has mended my blisters
And the bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe
I am safe
I am safe
I am safe
When You uncovered, I discovered
I am not afraid
But when we're hiding we end up fighting
To be sane
Yea, Yea
I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters
And my bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe
I am safe
I am safe
Searching
So the search went on to find where the essence of things lay
Always on the prowl to discover the light of day
Somebody once told me that all good comes to he who waits
Hard to believe when the lung of life deflates
The only thing worse than losing you mind and being
Is to know about the fact that it is happening
So why do we keep on fighting when Death's cold embrace
Brings us nothing but nothingness... Still we carry on...
And my search always ends in Death!
A Miracle
Then came the day when it was time
To greet you with a "Welcome to the world"
I saw a miracle unveil before my eyes
The birth of a little baby girl
A picture says more than a thousand words
So here I am - look at me
Try to fathom the love you see in my stare
My blood, my love, my life
I'll fight for my miracle
I'll conquer for my miracle
I'll endure for my miracle
I'll die for you - my miracle
and I'd kill the whole world if I knew it'd made you smile
Down to the last of human kind
They've got supremacy in numbers
But I have an image of you in my mind...
So I look at my miracle and fill with pain
That I ever have to separate from you again
I think of my miracle and tears fill my eyes
As all my frustration fades and dies
I'll fight for my miracle
I'll conquer for my miracle
I'll endure for my miracle
I'll die for you - my miracle
Fading
I feel my days are growing shorter
And with that, a battle has begun
To live and breathe every moment with you
To stay with you under the sun
I planted a seed - the image of me
And now that you're here
I wonder about my own mortality
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
So I am not objective, that's true
But you are the sweetest thing to gaze upon
And I bleed inside when I look at you
I planted a seed - the image of me
And now that you're here
I ponder my own immortality
End(less)
Now that nature can dispose of me
I ask myself, how can you go on
The answer lies in you
You made me SAFE
Here I am alone with You
Quietly I talk to You
You said the truth would set me free
So here I am surrendering
I know I can let Your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
I'm safe, safe 'cause You love me
Safe, safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
My heart is overflowing
With peace beyond all knowing
This love is deep, it shelters me
And I'm safe within Your reach
I know I can let Your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
Though the odds are stacked against me
Though I'm running out of time
My heart is breaking
But I know that You are mine
So I let You see into me as You hold me in Your hand
My heart is on my sleeve
I'm safe because You understand
Just like the fringe on my boots, you move with every step I take
You walk in front of me, to make sure I don't fall and break
My old heart cause with you I could never
Just like the leather on my saddle, we get prettier with time
Together in the weather, shiny on the other side
Polished and changed, for the better
With you I'm safe
With you I'm safe
I follow you just like a shadow, on the closer end
If you get tired and bound, I'll find a way to free your hands
I'll wash them clean of everything but me
Sometimes you might get thirsty, so I'll catch the rain
Just like the ice in your glass, I'll rattle when you need a drink
You'll never run dry of love, or anything
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
I keep a locket on my neck that holds your face
I'll spend forever makin' sure I can erase
Every tear you ever thought about cryin'
You make me feel like I'm the only girl in the whole wide world
I wanna hold you like a handful of diamonds and pearls
That I guard with my life or die tryin'
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
In this darkness
Troubled waters
Lies a flicker
Of hopes fire
Come to your senses
Wager a risk
I won’t let go
Waiting for this
It’s wonderful
Reality
I watch as
This golden bird flies free
In this ash-vault
A rose garden
These walls will never
See me just to
Save me
Save me
Save me
im another world away
my old self locked in a cage
inside walls i have to stay
just a moment many day
what i left behind still lives
i can hear it when im still
weak connection, lines will cross
different lies, we co-exist
if i could only take that time
fade away and crawl inside i know
you worry that im far away
atleast you know that im still safe, im safe
now again i hear your voice
loudest when we havent spoke
ringing in my ears drowns out
the empty roaring of the crowd
im alone most of the time
repenting every single crime
absolution in a glass
but i wake up where i have slept
One for all
nothing for one
and the more on your side the better
for them
They taught you your place
I can't even see your face
I don't understand
and I can't accept that you
fell safer blending in
with the rest
And it makes me sad
that I should have to ask
Am I safe
if I don't want to be with you?
Did your new friends
ever take the time
to tell you
what they're trying to prove?
For the first time in your life
I come home when I go out
and I play money
when nothing really matters
I shout at the men
Who fight for their lives
And you know why
Chorus:
It's just so safe
It's safe in a little world
It's safe when you have agirl
It's safe in a little town
Where money grows in your little white hands
And I'll breath passions from any blue house
I love to love you so dry
Just to challenge your life, challenge your life
For Christ's sake it's something you like
Chorus:
So pray, pray to a Lord
And hope, hope for more
The number have swelled in the years
It;s big and it's mighty, the husbands are drunkards
The size just gets bigger through fear
It's safe for everyone. Clean jokes and cleaner fun
Come bring the kids and wife. Stay safe and stay alive.
We'll close and lock the doors, to keep the bad ones out
That's how we'll show them just how good it is inside this house
They'd hurt our young, they'd steal our time
They'd eat our bread and drink our wine.
I'd rather fail a thousand times than live in fear and never try
It's safe and quiet now, far from the seething crowds
Who clamor for what they deserve, those sinners sure do have some nerve,
We've earned our right to live in peace by choosing Christ and living quietly
A thousand times I'd rather fall than be afraid to move at all

They set me up real nice here in the corner
I've got my very own self to keep my mind and body warm
They set me up real nice in the back room
Even let me eat the shit they borne
Don't nobody know any better I suppose
Ain't nobody looking really
But the winter's getting cold and I need
Love that breaks me down so I can sit up straight and look ahead
Hearts that kill my bones so I can be alive instead of dead
I need that doesn't care
If I get mad or if I'm not always convenient
I need blood more real than what's running through my veins
I need safe
I guess I just got used to bending
It's the greatest magic trick the world has ever seen
Tell me how it is and I'll shift my shape
I won't even remember it tomorrow
Nobody told me any better
They just watched me turn into a little shook up bottle of soda
I need
So come up now
Come from where you are
All you people who've seen the sign
Gather up
Gather 'round me now if you're willing to clear up the lies
You will hear a loud explosion
Followed by bits and pieces of me flying aimlessly
And we'll put it back together the way it should have been
The way it should have been
The way it was at first
The way it was at first
The way I will be
You keep trying to get inside my head
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread
To my life, what I know, yeah, I'm losing control and
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
You're not safe
I'm strong enough I've always told myself
I never want or need somebody else
But I've already fallen from that hill
So I'm dropping my guard
Here's your chance in my heart and
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't
Everything you want, but it's everything you need
It's not always happy endings, but it's all the in-betweens
It's taken so long, so long to finally see
That Your love is worth the best
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
Like pennies in a wishing well
I try but I can never tell
Where this winding road of life
Will lead tomorrow
But in between the how and why
The questions of the days gone by
One thing brings me peace of mind
It's knowing come what may
That I am safe with your arms around me
Since the day love found me
I am safe, I know my hope's in heaven
And whatever happens I am safe
There's trouble everywhere I turn
No end to lessons to be learned
And it scares me wonderin'
What's around the corner
But you've told me to remember this
You're there for me and know what's best
I shouldn't worry about all the rest
Just trust in you and not forget
I am safe with your arms around me
Since the day love found me
I am safe, I know my hope's in heaven
And whatever happens I am safe
I am safe
I am safe with your arms around me
Since the day love found me
I am safe, I know my hope's in heaven
And whatever happens
I am safe with your arms around me
Since the day love found me
I am safe, I know my hope's in heaven
And whatever happens
I am safe with your arms around me
Since the day love found me
I am safe, I know my hope's in heaven
Atomic roads, nuclear sunrise
They left me all alone
Falling stars exploding on the sea
God, it's beautiful
The land and the roses slowly disappeared
Why I'm so alone?
A wounded angel is smiling to me
homeless people everywhere trying to survive, when the power is against you, it's hard to stay alive, the third world we expect to see, the beggars and the poor, but we close our eyes to poverty, when it's at our own front door
Remember when you called me?
You couldn't talk, you could barely breathe
I didn't ask if you were safe
Now they pray that you've been saved
I don't believe in heaven
I don't know if there is hell
I only know this world
But I don't think I'll do well
Not gonna let you leave me
Feeling lost or empty
I told you how I felt
I believe you knew me well
I won't feel hurt
No this was worse to me
It was more than that
We can't go back
No I can't was worse to me
It was more than that
Set me as a seal upon Your heart
Take my life it's a spark
It's only You and You alone
That I want to get to know
It's in Your arms I am safe
And I will run and I will bow
Ever only all for Thee
It's in Your arms I am safe
Jealousy as cruel as the grave is cruel
And it's flames are flames of fire
Oh-wah-oh
Oh-wah-oh
Oh-wah-oh-ohh
your eyes are nothing, I've looked deep knowing I was safe
and this memory will never be erased, never be erased
you put me in my place
I would have liked a call
One head light's out
outside of you calling out my faults
I would have liked to settle this
once and for all, once and for all
would you have me crawl
and this memory, it will never fade
and this memory, it will never fade, never fade
you can cry in this bed alone
I won't cry with you anymore
You can lay in this grave you made
I won't lie with you anymore
No, it will never be erased
Oceans apart, it keeps on breaking my heart
And there's nothing I can do about it
This ache inside it keeps on breaking my stride
And I just want to keep you safe (x3)
In my arms tonight
Right from the start I knew you'd capture my heart
There was nothing I could do about it
Don't go so far, I like you right where you are
And I just want to keep you safe (x3)
In my arms tonight
Purely intense amazing
Exquisitely devastating
I'm in a daze and I'm
Drenched in our moment
Suddenly life is spectacular
A decade full circle brought me back to you
Always the boy with the yellow rose
I just could not forget
[Chorus]
And I feel safe now
That's where I want to be
I can breathe in this serenity
I will chase down both our armies
No more historical calamity here
No more historical calamity here
You inspire me fiercely
Reconcile negativity
My fear I placed before the union of two
Relentless in your chivalry
Love to lick your lips so thankfully
Always the boy with yellow rose
Peacock feather and baby's breath
[Chorus]
My vision is to follow through
I patiently waited this long for you
So completely consumed
God you're beautiful
The whole world fades in a crowded room
A decade full circle brought me back to you
Always the boy with the yellow rose
I just could not forget
