Do you remember
The southern breakfast treat
Referred to as grits
But it looks like cream of wheat
Don't bring me down
Please, please
Don't bring me down
Check this
Yo, I know a secret
Too hard not to tell
(Don't bring me down)
If grits was locked up
Gotee would post bail
Are you familiar
With the southern breakfast treat
(Don't bring me down)
Referred to as breads
But to me it looks like
(Anyways I told the guy, 'Nice coat!
Who shot the cow?!')(laughter)
(Hey how ya doin today?)

(Hey-uh, hold up here,

Oh yeah, extra foam.

And we're back...it's me,
your around-the-way girl
rollin' through the night on the
Quiet Storm.
Tonight is kinda special...
we got Toby Mckheen up in here
so let's get down to it
now, Toby-
what's up?
In studying the landscape of your musical evolution,
it appeared as though you were maturing beyond your,
"so-called" rap years... (toby chuckles in background)
now suddenly like a ghost from the past
you present the public with this....
Fresh air, (sigh),
Is what I needed
I ventured through my door
Proceeded
Into the streets of this place
I had to lower my shades to shade my face
Still squinting from the glare
What I saw was unfortunately rare
I rolled upon a variety
The sight that moved my heart
Deep inside of me
I head some cats rockin mics
Saw mad stunts on BMX bikes
Sons and daughters
Standing for their rights
A city scene lit
Well through the night
Tilted trucker hats with tats
Hittin high hats
Pinstripe sellard suits
Invested mad beats
Truth
Distinct how we live it
Many members but only one spirit.
Individualized
You're on the same side
Separated verticals
Huh!
We still ride
Well we bring it from nice to gritty
Its been a long time coming
since I saw your face
Since we held it down
Since we were in the chase
It was the road less traveled
The path less formed
A skinny trail
It was barely worn
But we kept walkin'
and slippin' and talking'
And runnin' and fallin'
And cryin' and crawlin'
We were in the trenches
On top of the world
Young refugees but we were momma's pearls
Where you been dog?
Where you been?
I thought you fell off the face of the earth
I thought you fell, I thought you fell
I thought you fell off the face of the earth
I thought you fell, I thought you fell
Its been way too long and we've come too far
For you to drop out of my life like a falling star
Right off my radar
Not a sign or a trace
You know I had love for you that's Bigger than mistakes
Now Hope Road is calling
Let's pack you up and move
'Cause real friends are willing to intrude
So I'm gonna push you in because I wanna love you well
Let the ghosts of your past rest
Open up the door
This is the first day of the rest of your life
What are you waiting for?
This is the first day of the rest of your life
Open up the door
To life ...
Behold I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door
I will come in ...
Yo, its me, Tobymac and I dont meanto trouble you
Im feelin fresher than a night at the W
You probably sayin you be hearin quite enough of you
With God and your rhymes and that freaky Jesus stuff you do
Like always pushin for that racial diversity
Leave us alone were at home in our fantasies
I know a guy who knows a guy who has brown skin
What in his wallet it so happens Im around him
Well never be that shinin city on a hill yall
Until we show and prove to the people what is real yall
Its like were stale dirty water in the tub of life
Gimme a fire that inspires all the world tonight
I'm staring unaware, 'cuz I'm in the zone
It moves in like a fog on a seaside road
Paralyzed by the signs and the deafening tone
I'm on a lock like a jock with a broken bone
I can see the real game and I want to get in it
I can read your headlines and I am dying to spin it
Man down in the clutches of his own desire
I got to find the kind of speed that will put out a fire
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car, I wanna flee what I see, wanna be where you are
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car
I put my hand to the wheel before I change my mind
I put my foot to the floor and I start to fly
I keep my eyes on the road so I don't get spun around to the nightmare
I've been delivered from
It's a brand new day, I drove hard all night
I thank God for the sun as it starts to rise
I take a peek in the mirror and my past is gone
I'm feelin' free as a bird with a new song
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car, I wanna flee what I see, wanna be where you are
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car
Said I ain't gonna stop till I find your peace
I gotta get to the place where you're all I need
So fill'er up now, and let's roll
Gonna drive through the night till you touch my soul
Said, "I ain't gonna stop till I find your peace"
I gotta get to the place where you're all I need
So fill'er up now, let's roll
I'm gonna drive through the night till you touch my soul
Let's ride all night, let's shift this thing into overdrive
Let's ride all night, let's shift this thing into overdrive
Let's ride all night, let's shift this thing into overdrive
Let's ride all night, let's shift this thing into overdrive
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car, I wanna flee what I see, wanna be where you are
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car, I wanna flee what I see, wanna be where you are
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car
I need a getaway, I need a getaway car
Everybody everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your soul be free
I can feel the Most High shining on me, so ...
Let's get this party started
Everybody everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your soul be free
I can feel the Most High smiling on we, so ...
Let's get this party started
Blind-sided by the blitz
Come on baby it's on
I couldn't wait to get on this
You ain't no quiet storm
I'm gonna tell it like it is
There ain't no stopping us now
Somebody shut me up so I can live out loud
Them people thought I was gone
It's been a long time comin'
But straight out the box
We got the dark side runnin'
So Father, Most High won't You show Yourself
Why's it always circumstantial?
Never any real potential
Obvious and so sequential
It always ends the same
Holding out with all that's in me
Is it worth all this pretending?
A story with an ugly ending it's never worth the pain
So right here and now I am all in
â'Cause I'm letting go of everything I am
And I'm holding on to everything You are
I'm letting go of everything I once was
I'm all in
I'm fallin' into Your arms again
Can we just wait out the weather?
I could stay right here forever
Got to get myself together
Real life is on the way
Call it my foregone conclusion
I'll always welcome Your intrusion
You're the master of my choosing
I'm all Yours
This time I'm so for real
It's time I sealed the deal
Shut down my lame appeals
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
I'll throw caution to the sky
Kiss all my fears goodbye
This time its do or die
I'm on Flight 92, stuck on this runway,
Waiting for a storm to pass before we take
Off, I just wanna get home, Lord,
I'm getting no signal on my cellular phone.
I got my wife and my kids waiting for their daddy,
At the baggage claim, Lord, I miss my family,
I just wanna get home, Lord,
I'm getting no signal on my cellular phone.
I just want to wake up, talk to the morning sun,
Kiss my Mandy on the cheek, grab some breakfast and run,
I love my family, Lord, bless my family,
Please tell my family I'll be home soon.
I love my kids, y'know they love their dad,
And I'm with them no matter where i'm at
So they know, I love my family, Lord, bless my family,
Please tell my family I'll be home soon.
I'm on Flight 92, stuck on this runway,
Waiting for a storm to pass before we take,
Off, I just wanna get home, Lord.
I'm getting no signal on my cellular phone.
I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry, ain't no meanin' to your scribble
Cause words can't describe what you've been feelin' inside
It's like thousand foot walls, and they're still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you're not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional
And I'll keep the light on, for you
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I'll keep the light on, for you
You've come this far, don't you ever lose heart, now
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I know you're all alone in a crowd of your friends
I can see it in your eyes that your fadin' again
Checking out, moving into your hole
Where the light can't touch any part of your soul
But hold up and let the river rush in
You can turn around and start livin' again
Cause your life is a beautiful bloom
In the image of the one that created you
And I'll keep the light on, for you
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I'll keep the light on, for you
You've come this far, don't you ever lose heart, now
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I'll be there
Said I'll be there, said I'll be there
Said I'll be there always, forever
I've played in L.A. and D.C., Manhattan and Sydney
And Kingston, Jamaica where my Mandy was made
It's 98 degrees in the straight-up shade
I say I'm stickin' with her for the rest of my given days
"Somebody told me that you're takin' a break
A sabbatical from rhymin' on the records that you make
A little birdie said that wasn't the case
They blamed your exodus on "DC" partners Kevin and Tait"
"Hold up, I didn't say all that"
I wanna move the people on a hot summer's day
I wanna serve up the Truth like it's pink lemonade
[CHORUS]
So if you're wonderin' why I
Continue to try my
Skills at this rap game
Girl, I can't get enough
I been rockin' the black folks
And tellin' those white jokes
And people are people
So just throw your hands up
If you're wonderin' why I
Continue to try my
Skills at this rap game
Girl, I can't get enough
I been rockin' the church folks
And tellin' those saint jokes
So all of God's people
Won't ya throw your hands up
I've been away for some down time
But thought it was 'bout time
To give my freaky people what they came here for
I guess I needed some head space
And felt that by God's grace
My homosapiens would still be up for some more
I'm talkin' God in my hip-hop
If not, then my show stops
And everyone around me knows I ain't gonna sell -out
To those bad guys, they pushin' them white lies
Tweak the word freak and you'll be airing tonight guys
[CHORUS]
I wanna move the people on a hot summer's day
I wanna serve up the Truth like it's pink lemonade
I wanna give my people what they can't deny
Welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey
Who had only one reason to be hated be whitey
Raised on a farm outside of South Bend
Where they hated on him cause he was African American
But three years later, Mikey was the town pride
Basketball Mikey went and got himself a full ride
Earned his acceptance on the hardwood floor
And that's something white America would never ignore
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
What's goin' down tell me what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' down
What's goin' down I'll tell ya what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' down
Take a look around
Everything is comin' down
Do you hear the subtle sounds
Of our morality slippin'
People on the go
We'll be reapin' what we sow
Yeah we say we want to know
But I got my suspicions
Welcome to the world of a girl named Susie
Susie's only crime was that she was born a cutie
Physically abused by her uncle and his friends
Alcohol let 'em all leave the house with grins
But Susie couldn't shake off the memories
Forced to find her own kind of remedy
A man-eater for the rest of her days
Three kids, three men, no daddies by eleventh grade
What be goin' diggy down
When you find what you lost
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
Nails and spears shall pierce Him through
The cross He bore for me, for you
So hail, hail the Word made flesh
The babe, the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for the Christ is born
Yeah, we bout to do this,
Drop the beat Sivo
True dog, I rule the mic for fun.
True dog, Still looking for my first homerun.
True dog, I thought I told you son, the name's Trudog.
True dog, A Jesusfreak for real.
True dog, Don't need no trainin' wheels.
True dog, I thought you knew the deal, the name's Trudog!
True dog, I rule the mic for fun.
True dog, Still looking for my first homerun.
True dog, I thought I told you son, the name's Trudog.
True dog, A Jesusfreak for real.
True dog, Don't need no trainin' wheels.
True dog, I thought you knew the deal, the name's Trudog!
"Can we just be done?"
"You're gettin paid for this"
"I am?"
"yeah"
"Yay!"
"Say 'true dog'"
"How much am I getting paid?"
"A Happy meal"
Born is the King, born is the King
The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Born is the King, born is the King
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Born is the King, born is the King
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
The love You shared, even scared
Oh, the shepherds they were so afraid
You flipped it all on that very first Christmas day
So I'm a yell Noel on the streets like a newsie
And sing Emmanuel 'til this Earth gotta lose me
Born is the King, born is the King
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
One Phenomenon, one phenomenon
And it just can't be stopped ya'll
We rock forever, we stop whenever
We rock forever, we stop whenever
We die whenever, we live forever
It's a phenomenon that can't be stopped
Forever, we stop whenever
We rock forever, we stop whenever
We die whenever, we live together
It's a phenomenon that can't be stopped now
Everybody out of the way
It's monumental at the end of the day
So come what may
But it's a wonder that will never fade
A marvel that will tickle the mind
It's unaccountable in actual time
But when we're free
They will see what we were destined to be
Well I'm alive and I'm enjoyin' the ride
But livin' for the moment I die
Cause when I'm done, we will run eternally as one
My soul is up, up and away
My body dead right where it lays
I'm movin' on going gone into the new beyond
This is the drama you've been waiting for
A new dimension that is yours to explore
Such mystery is looming at your door
O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the king of angels
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultations,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above;
Glory to god
Glory in the highest:
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Raindrops rolling off my brim
Streetlights got the pavement glistenin'
Touchdown, I've fallen into Your arms
Right where I belong
Your everlasting arms
And where would I be Without you
I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay
I;d be chasing every breeze that blows my way
I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away
It's true
That's me without you (X3)
Don't know where I'd be without you
Flashback
Stepping through the scene
There's You and there's a very different Me
Touchdown, You had me at believe
You had me at believe, You did
And where would I be with You
I'd be packing my bag when I need to stay
I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way
I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away
It's true
That's me without you (X3)
Dont know where I'd be without you
Where would I be?
You rescued me
You are mine, I am Yours
You rescued me
And I am Yours forever
You saved me, remade me,
Where would i be?
I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay
I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way
I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away
It's true
I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay
I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way
I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away
It's true
That's me without you
That's me without you
That's me without you
Dont know where I'd be without you
That's me without you
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac
Them Apples don't grow on trees
I want a Mac laptop, packaging so posh
Fits like a glove in that tiny little white box
Pretty as a picture but it ain't all show
At 8 Ram deep I be running logic pro
To make my own beats dad
Keep me off the streets dad
An xbox, would even take a back seat
So please give me a job so I can stack that paper
'Cause this is major
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac
So I can make my own beats
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac
Them Apples don't grow on trees
Yo I'm saving for a laptop and looking for some work
5 bucks an hour and I'm willing to serve
Ain't no job to UG, L to the Y
I'd do almost anything to make that Macbook fly
Yo I'll teach you to cross it over
Then play chess all day with roses
I'll take whatever you think is fair
Dad, I'd even braid Marley's hair
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac
So I can make my own beats
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac
Them Apples don't grow on trees
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac

Something that can Jesus bring
I want a Mac, I want a Mac, daddy, I need a Mac

It's been three long years
So we goin' make it loud
We goin' make it loud n clear
I'm goin' make it clearer
Than a Southern California day
And even louder
‘Cause the song I sing will never fade
You really thought that T-R-U TO D-O-G was ending?
Listen, homie, you don't even know me
This is just beginnin'
Ten-year veteran
Servin' up the medicine
I rock a mic
You rock a trike
Oops! Your diaper's wet again
Start it up
Turn it on
We can ride this storm
A grip of hope in our hands
For the coming dawn
Up to our necks in complexities
Causing us to pause
As we collect our thoughts
So don't blink if you wanna come cross the border
Take a look around or come test the water
We won't stop 'till we see the morning
So welcome to the quiet before the storm hits
Turn on, turn on the ignition
Everybody
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition
Comatose
Half-hearted
Room temperature's fine
Sleep walking, no dream is even filling our minds
Earth shaking
We be quaking like a wake up bomb
This ain't no trouble overseas
No Vietnam
So don't blink if you wanna come cross the border
Take a look around or come test the water
We won't stop 'till we see the morning
So welcome to the quiet before the storm hits
(Take it up a notch, come on, come on turn it up a notch.)
Turn on, turn on the ignition
Everybody
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition
Your sleep walking
I'm sleep walking
Your sleep walking
I'm still talking
Come spark the parts in me that all but died
Jump start my heart and wake the sleeper inside
Hold up the flag 'cause it's ride or die
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we all step across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
We find...
It's hanging over him like the clouds of Seattle
And raining on his swag, falling deeper in the saddle
It's written on his face, he don't have to speak a sound
Somebody call the 5-0, we've got a man down
Now you can go and play it like your own rock 'n' roll
It does the job on each and every man's soul
And when your head hits the pillow with the night fall
You can bet your life that it's gonna be a fight y'all
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we've all stepped across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
Forgiveness, forgiveness
And we all step on it and fall
They just burn underneath it all
But nothing's sweeter than the pain
Sweeter than the pain, recall
Out for forgiveness
We all need, we all need
We all need forgiveness
We all need, we all need
Mister Lecrae
My mama told me what I would be in for
If I get to the sun, get inside of me pimped up
My heart's been broken, my wounds been open
And I don't know if I can hear "I'm sorry" been spoken
But those forgiving much should be quicker to give it
And God forgave me for it all, Jesus beg forgiveness
So when the stones fly and they aimed at you
Just say "forgive 'em Father, they know not what they do"
Now you can go and play it like your own rock 'n' roll
It does the job on each and every man's soul
And when your head hits the pillow with the night fall
You can bet your life that it's gonna be a fight y'all
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we've all stepped across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
Forgiveness, forgiveness
And we all step on it and fall
They just burn underneath it all
But nothing's sweeter than the pain
Sweeter than the pain, recall
Time for forgiveness
You know we need that that that
You know we need that that that
You know we need that that that
No matter how lost you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
No matter how hurt you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
And no matter how wrong you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
And no matter who you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
Ask for forgiveness
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we've all stepped across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
Forgiveness, forgiveness
And we all step on it and fall
They just burn underneath it all
But nothing's sweeter than the pain
Sweeter than the pain, recall
Out for forgiveness
We all need, we all need
We all need forgiveness
We all need, we all need
No matter how lost you are
We all need forgiveness
No matter how hurt you are
We all need forgiveness
And no matter how wrong you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
No matter who you are
You're not that far, you're not too far
We all need forgiveness forgiveness
We all need forgiveness forgiveness
We all need forgiveness forgiveness

Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be?
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria, (Gloria), Gloria
Sing merrily, shout joyfully, sing merrily, shout joyfully
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess you alone are God, ahhh
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
The greatest expression of love ever shown
Happened on this night
When the angel appeared to the shepherds and said,
"Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy
Which shall be for all people
For unto you is born this day
In the city of David
A Savior who is Christ the Lord
Glory to God in the highest
Emmanuel
The word made flesh
Lamb of God
Sing praises to His name"
(Gloria)
Come let us adore
For unto us is born
A Savior who is Christ our Lord
Emmanuel, Elshaddia
Singing praises to the Lord most high
Our King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Sing Gloria
Gloria...
Shout joyfully to the Lord
My soul does magnify you
Holy is the Lord
The mighty One of Israel
And You alone are God
Tell me where its hurting
Are you burning?
Running just to catch your breath
And going nowhere
It's getting old when you feel like you got nothing left
Well it ain't over 'til it's over
I told you since the day we met
So let me be the voice through all the noise
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
Whatever you need from me
To see you through
Everyone of us has stumbled
Everybody's humbled
We hit the ground and our lives crumble
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true
I know the feeling
I know it's real when the drama's all in your face
You see a mountain
I hear a promise - it's never more than we can take
Well it ain't over, 'til it's over
We can learn from our mistakes
So let me be the voice through all the noise
Everyone of us will fall
Have our backs against the wall
And everyone shares a need to be loved
You've always been for me
So I will be for you
That's just what it means to love
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true
Everytime you fall, I'll be for you,
If you back's against the wall, I'll be for you,
Cause you've always been for me, I'll be for you,
I'll be for you, I'm for you.
If you never knew,
If you never knew,
I'm for you.
I'm for you, like your for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you, like your for me, like your for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you like your for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you like your for me, like your for me, like I'm for you,
I'm for you like your for me, like your for me, like I'm for you,
I've been around the way
I've been around the block
I got the keys to the city if the gates are locked
And a freak like me ain't bout to stop
I got a hand full of dreams and a heart full of God
Everywhere we go they wonder where we're from
Well its diverse city ya'll welcome to come
It sits high on a hill you can see it for days
And even if you can't you can hear our praise
We go boom tap boom boom de tap
'Cause we're boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
Here to rep the most high with this one
Boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
'Cause we rock for sure in stereo
If you're looking to slide, come slide with us
And if you're looking for a ride, it's a big old bus
We got black folk, white folk and Middle East
Mexican, Filipino - Jesus Freaks
Got a Haitian Princess, an Aussie Mate
East Coast, Midwest to left side of the states
And when the bus rolls, it's out the dirty south
Tennessee and we keepin' it good and loud we go doon tsa doon doon doon tsa
I got portable sounds to lift me up
Portable sounds to take me higher
Portable sounds to lift me up
Somebody said you better let go
'Cause they said so
But I could never let this thing go
Don't they even know what that means
They call me obscene
Say I wear my faith on my sleeve
But I ain't here to seek no glory
End of story, I know the judge and the jury
People always gotta ask who, what, when, and why
But never wanna step to the light
So I hear you say you wanna come and get some
Should I mention I got your attention
Know that I'm a man on a mission, my position is
Momentum
Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
We've got momentum baby
Livin' on the edge of obnoxious
They call me raucous
I'm a freak, I can't stop this
Ardently enthused about God
No hand-me-down nod
Your gonna get all I got
High-steppin' from the twenty on in
Knees to my chin
I'm rollin' deep in momentum
Burnin' with the hard core flame
No shame in this game
I'm followin' my heart not my brain
Been on a roll
Cause we got souls that won't die
And this party ain't over 'til we take flight
You've been told that we come bold on this side
You ain't never known the dilly 'til we testify
Cause have you ever heard of turnin' water into wine
And have you ever heard of givin' sight back to the blind
It's undeniable we're droppin' the Truth on this track
I'm a brand new man, I'm a conscious man
I'm a man who's burnin' for you
The mistakes I've made have been chased away
To the bottom of the ocean blue
I'm a brand new man in a foreign land
I'm a man who's feelin' that fire
And it's all so clear when I'm standing here
At the peak of my desire
So won't you move me like you used to?
I want the world to know I burn for you
I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I feel revived again, I'm energized again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
Woke up in a sweat, those ghosts in my head
Had a grip but I slipped on by
It's a whole new day as the darkness fades
And the sun's climbing in the sky
I concede my love that I need your love
I'm before you, a broken man
And it's only you, no substitutes
Who can renew this soul again
So won't you move me like you used to?
I want the world to know I burn for you
I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I feel revived again, I'm energized again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I feel revived again, I am alive again
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me
You got me higher than Kilimanjaro
Got me believin' I can save the day
I'm up and running like there ain't no tomorrow
I'd rather burn for you than fade away
I'd rather burn for you than go my way
I'm a whole new guy with a whole new vibe
Changed inside, more flame in the fire
Can't stop, won't stop praying for desire
Like the bunny on the screen feel so energized
Old shell gone without a trace, new face
No more shortness of breath, new pace
Live life now without the taste of fear
Toby Mac, double dutch, now let the smoke clear
Let the smoke clear
I want the world to know I burn for you
I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I feel revived again, I'm energized again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I feel revived again, I'm energized again
(Burnin' for you)
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I am alive again
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I'm energized again
You got me lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I am alive again
Lifted and lifted, you lift me up
I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry, ain't no meanin' to your scribble
Cause words can't describe what you've been feelin' inside
It's like thousand foot walls, and they're still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you're not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional
And I'll keep the light on, baby
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I'll keep the light on, baby
You've come this far, don't you ever lose heart, now
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I know you're all alone in a crowd full of friends
I can see it in your eyes that your fadin' again
Checking out, moving into your hole
Where the light can't touch any part of your soul
But hold up and let the river rush in
You can turn around and start livin' again
Cause your life is a beautiful bloom
In the image of the one that created you
I'll be there
Said I'll be there, said I'll be there
I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
(Gotta a ticket to ride to the other side)
I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
(Gotta ticket to ride to the other side)
Ride ride wanna ride on the J Train
On the J Train wanna ride on the J Train
Ride ride wanna ride on the J Train
On the J Train wanna ride on the J Train
Sit back, relax put on your travelin' gear
No need to doubt so put aside your fear
"Destination" out of this atmosphere
It's the J Train baby, we depart from right here
No lines to fight no ticket to price
I'm rollin' first class 'cause I've seen the light
Try as you may but your money can't buy
A ticket on the J Line to the other side
Now I missed the Train more than once in my life
Til' the good conductor heard my Momma's cry
Hades to Glory in the blink of an eye
Hear me now, hear me now while I testify
Heard the whistle blow I felt a chill to the bone
"All aboard" is what I heard I was headed for home
Had a reclinable seat but I just had to stand
Up on the "J" all the way to the promise land
Do you wanna ride say
To the other side say
If you wanna ride say
Happy birthday Jesus
Let's celebrate the birth of Love
She was only 13
Young with a big dream
Then, unexpectedly, things would never be the same
Love was born, and she held a gift God made
Born for redemption's sake
Earth was void 'til He came
Love was born a, love was born a King

And share our New Year's dreams over grandma's hot plates
Hey, hey, hey, hey everybody
Let's celebrate that beautiful love

Have a good night
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
I'm Your prisoner by choice
I will rest at Your feet
And I'll only lift my voice
When You want me to sing
It's the beauty of Your covering that's stealing my heart
And it's the mystery of You that tears me apart
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
And if I should get a peaceful sleep
I wanna wake at my Father's feet
All I wanna do is get into You
You got me captured
By Your love
All I wanna do is stay here with You
You got me raptured
Can't get enough
Let's go
The sun's on the rise
The sleep's in my eyes
The dew's on the ground
The night is disguised
There's hope in the air
I'm fresh off a prayer
The blue mountain bean is clearin' my stare
I make recompense
It's all makin' sense
Like blood in my veins
You're my sustenance
A moment of trust
From the lips of desperation
Different nations, every man's cry
Comes a song of anticipation
As we wait for a crack in the sky
Side by side, we recognize that
Hope has brought us together tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Break open the sky
Won't You turn off gravity so we can fly?
We wanna see Your face
So tear the roof off this place
Jesus, break open the sky
So we sing
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We believe, and we imagine
Till the dawn of our beautiful dream
Through the noise, I hear the voices
Melodies that are flooding our streets
Not forgotten, are your people
So let a thousand church bells ring
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come, Jesus, come
Come quickly
Come quickly
You turned away when I looked you in the eye,
And hesitated when I asked if you were alright,
Seems like you're fighting for you life,
But why? oh why?
Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare,
You saw it comin' but it hit you outta no where,
And there's always scars
When you fall back far
We lose our way,
We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever
[May be knocked down but not out forever]
You're rolled out at the dawning of the day
Heart racin' as you made you little get away,
It feels like you've been runnin' all your life
But, why? Oh why?
So you've pulled away from the love that would've been there,
You start believin' that your situation's unfair
But there's always scars,
When you fall back far
We lose our way,
We get back up again
Never too late to get back up again,
One day, you gonna shine again,
You may be knocked down but not out forever,
Lose our way, we get back up again,
So get up, get up
You gonna shine again
It's never too late, to get back up again
You may be knocked down, but not out forever,
May be knocked down, but not out forever!
This is love callin', love callin', out to the broken,
This is love callin'.
This is love callin', love callin', out to the broken
This is love callin'.
This is love callin', love callin',
I am so broken
This is love callin' love callin
Lose our way, [way way way ay ay ay]
We get back up, [get back up again]
It's never too late [late late late ate ate ate]
You may be knocked down but not out forever!
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up get up
You gonna shine again
Never too late to get back up again
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
This is love [lose our way] callin' love callin' [get back up again]
To the broken
This is love [never too late] callin'
[may be knocked down but not out forever]
This is love [lose our way] callin' love callin' [we get back up again]
To the broken
This is love [never too late] callin'
[may be knocked down but not out forever]
This is love callin' love callin'
Out to the broken,
Every time I turn my back I get the feeling that
I'm 'bout to take a shot to the skully with a bat
I'm out of control, need you to fill my soul up
And could you shed a little light on the skeletons holed up
My past is taking me to task
And I can't guarantee how much longer I'll last
Without You I'm a hopeless wreck
So I cry out Your name as I drop to the deck
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
I'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again
I'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again
Simple minded little punk
Thought I was the junk
Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
What was I out of my mind
Or was I just trippin' on an ego
But You filled up the space and You never let me go
Bullseye to the center of my soul
One shot but it rocked like a fatal blow
This love was Your gun, mercy Your shells
Now I'm a dead man walkin' down a skinny trail
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
So you can take your best shot
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
Like it or not
I'm a dead man walkin'
Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So, to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum?
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Think think dad your pity pityful

You on the mic again?
Yes...
You know you're not supposed to be in here.
WHY??
It's daddy's studio.
Ok Daddy!
Hey!
Everytime I try to go in alone I get shut down,
Locked up and held captive in the clutches of my down
We go back, we go forth,
We go back
I'm sick with vertigo
Weary of my ways, my days
My lips are frozen
I wanna feel a new day
(There's gotta be more than this)
I wanna live a new way
(There's gotta be more)
I wanna feel a new day
(There's gotta be more)
I wanna live a new way
(There's just gotta be more)
Right here, right now
Under the stars, I promise you my heart

We wanna touch the other side
(It starts tonight!)
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more
(Cause it starts tonight!)

We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
(Cause it starts tonight)
Tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
Can't feel like any night before
Under the sky full of stars
With hearts that want more
(Tonight)
Like the rhythm no dam can hold
Bein' drivin by a source overflowin our souls
(Tonight)
Won't be like any night we have seen
It changes everything (e-e-e-e-everything)
Right here right now
Under the stars
I promise you my heart
Cause it starts tonight!
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side
(It start tonight!)
We wanna soar

Joy to the world
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
Now Jonnie never got his wish on December 25
That's what he said when we left the orphanage
9 years old, but Jonnie was an old soul
Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home
Showed me a picture that he drew the night before
Was a picture of a man standing outside a door
I asked him who it was and he said someone I only
see in dreams
Comforts me when I cry myself to sleep
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas
This Christmas
Believe in angels?
Jonnie asked me, starin' at the sky
I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye
Big brother for the weekend respondin' to the season
Took the chance that givin's better than receivin'
Two nights, a new family, some holiday cheer
We laughed and sang
Came on a midnight clear
We gave, received, and was we headed to a close
We looked to the heavens and it started to snow
down blessings
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas
[You ain't livin' till you choose to give love & joy & peace
to one of His]
Father let us not forgetthe children who are all alone this Christmas
[You ain't livin' till you choose to give, you ain't livin' till you
choose to give]
[James 1:27]
Religion that God our Father
Accepts as pure and faultless is this
To look after orphans and widows in their distress
Merry Christmas everyone
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
Believe in angels?
Jonnie asked me, starin' at the sky
I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye
9 years old, but Jonnie was an old soul
God's in the Spot, you can like it or not
So rip the knob of the volume when you give this a shot
And raise your hands as the slam starts to thicken the
plot
Openin' eyes to the lies of the enemies' lot
So run like the wind from the sin of your past
Keep your eyes on the prize when they put you on blast
It's the Christ on the cross, it's humanity's shot
It's a worldwide call to everthing that we're not
This is the slam, this is the one(God's in the Spot,
you can like it or not)
This is the slam, this is the one(We gonna bring it
like it ain't been brung)
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna do it like it ain't been done before
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna bring it like it ain't been brung
They came from the cities and towns all around
To see the longhaired preacher from the desert get down
Waist high in the water, never short on words, he said
Repent, the kingdom of heaven can be yours
But he stopped in the middle of his words and dropped
Down to his knees and said, behold the Lamb of God
He's the one, the slam, don't you people understand?
You're staring at the son, God's reaching out his hand
This is the slam, this is the one(God's in the Spot,
you can like it or not)
This is the slam, this is the one(We gonna bring it
like it ain't been brung)
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna do it like it ain't been done before
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna bring it like it ain't been brung
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna do it like it ain't been done before
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna spring you like you ain't been sprung
(Body Brung, gonna take it to the West Side)
The father slammed it like Shaq
For Latinos and Blacks
Packin' them straps
And Caucasians hooked on Ecstasy and the crack
Stacked the sins of this world to his body
And conquered evil and hell
Then snatched the keys of death in one breath and
unlocked the cell
He rose on the third
I'm tellin' you partner, it's actual fact
Just like TOBYMAC and Boney Soprano up on this track
We Slam dunkin' and keep it jumpin' like jumper cables
And keep the crowd rowdy like Jesus tossin' them temple
tables
This is the Slam,this is the one
This is the Slam
We slammin' and jammin' with the remedy of liberty like
it ain't never been done
This is the one
Can represent it and tell the people 'bout all that
he's done
This is the Slam,this is the one
We slammin' and jammin' with the remedy of liberty like
it ain't never been done
This is the Slam,this is the one
Can represent it and tell the people 'bout all that
he's done
This is the slam, this is the one
This is the slam, this is the one
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna bring it like it ain't been brung
This is the slam, this is the one
This is the slam, this is the one
This is the slam, this is the one
She blew everything to pieces
He's there hanging on to Jesus
She broke everything about him down
He said he never saw it coming
Until the day she dropped the bomb
And she broke everything about him down
Sometimes there's nothing left but to believe
And suddenly all of it's behind you
And I'm here to remind you
That yesterday is gone so say goodbye
And suddenly the skies open above you
And someone really loves you
Now everything's alive ... everything's alive
She's there broken into pieces
But he swares he doesn't really see it
When she says that all of it was so unfair
But Hope road is just around the corner
It's one place there's never been a foreigner
'Cause God's love makes everybody welcome there
Sometimes there's nothing left but to believe
Sometimes it's in an instant
Sometimes we wait for years
But it comes down to the moment when faith eclipses fear
Your wandering is over
The other side is real
You've broken through
Your mountain moved
And mercy is revealed
His mercy is revealed, yeah
Yesterday is long
Gone ....
And suddenly all of it's behind you
And I'm here to remind you
That yesterday is gone so wave goodbye
And finally the skies open around you
And love has truly found you
Now everything is alive
Everything's alive ... everything's alive
We've been down to the bottom
Stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares
Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raised you up and call it quits
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta "get by"
Always knowin' in my heart that it ain't gonna fly
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
And if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear
So hold me now father, human love ain't enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
But your faithful arms they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family
Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom
Tryin' to look for answers but nobody's got 'em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye
Tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die
How can this be, I thought that God loved me?
So why would he try to take my mother from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up, hey, if y'all are feelin' me
And put your hands up for everyone to see
So put your hands up, we all a family
So put your hands up, in unity, in unity
I've been there too
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
Get through each day wonderin' will this never end?
Is it always going to be this way?
And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that
You're the only one to ever walk on this road
And that you'll never see the light of dawn, so we came together to say
Hold on
Cause we've been there and found our way home
I promise you that you're not on your own
One day this will pass, God will see us all through
Another cold night another late flight it's almost show time and diverse
Citys waiting on me we got a Packed house the crowd is calling out they
Want the beat to drop but what we really need is you
If you wanna steal my show I'll sit back and watch you go if you got
Something to say go on and take it away need you to steal my show can't
Wait to watch you go-oh-oh-oh so take it away
So now the crowd is hyped that you showed up tonight anticipating craving
Something more than smoke and lights so I'll Step out the way I'll give you
Center stage alright spotlight give'em what they came for
If you wanna steal my show I'll sit back and watch you go if you fat
Something to say go on and take away need to steal my show can't wait to
Watch you go-oh-oh-oh so take it away
When you arrive we come to life our hearts collide they're beating in the
Same time you're coming through all eyes on you our hearts collide they're
Beating in the same time beating the same time
No matter who we are notated what we do everyday we can choose to say
If you wanna steal my show I'll sit back and watch you go if you got
Something to say go on and take it away need you to stealy show can't wait
To watch you go-oh-oh-oh so take it away
Last night, everything was movin' so fast
I could barely keep track
Oh, of my offenses or your defenses
In hindsight, I woulda, coulda, shoulda not gone there
But left without a word to spare
Was it your offenses or my defensiveness?
That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right
I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight
If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside
This thing is eatin' me alive
Well I'm right here
And you're right there
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
‘Cause I'm messed up
And you're broken
And those shots we fired are still smokin'
I'm tossin' and turnin' on the things I'd undo
As I wrestle with the painful truth
Oh, my sleep escapes me as guilt berates me
Exhausted, the memories are drawing so near
I can see it like a world premiere
When did my objective lose all objectiveness?
If I need you, and you need me
How can you turn your back and just leave me?
When I'm right here, and you're right there
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
I said some things that I regret
And if I could, I'd take ‘em back
If I could turn my words around
You wouldn't hear a sound
But here I am, and there you are
The space between us is not so far
I'm reaching out my hand in love
Before the fading sun, forgive me for what I've done
Hey, hey …
Suggestions, questions
People want to know
Is there life after talk
Cause there's talk on the row
Twistin' words that I've never even said
To the ones that I trust
Or my "Boo" in our bed
Will he make it, I bet he won't
As they're runnin' through the minutes
On their cell phones
So the picture's painted
You got the point
And that junk's creepin' into my solo joint
Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade in the bright sunlight
I always feel like somebody's watchin' 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 in the bright sunlight
And sometimes I feel God in the midst of a show
Yeah, this is the day we came to get down,
We came to play the game in your town
You came to ride the highs of this junk
Baby, we came to guarantee the big crunk
So if you or your people ever wanna doubt
This showstoppin' party rockin'
Tell 'em all about this
Truth from the village of the diverse citizens
One stop one shot
Livin like a kid again
So turn off the lights
They've been waitin' all night

The big popper
We gonna get it, get it right
We gonna get it done

So why you gotta ask what I came here for

Job from the gun in the hand of the spare
With the kick so hard that you gotta be strong
It's so hot-ah
You can barely hold on
So rock me drop me

With Rudolph leading the way

We'll dance down a soul train line in the middle of the living room

Santa's comin' to your town

Santa's comin' to your town
One time
One world
Two times
One love
Three times
Rewind
'Cause I'm a dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
Come as you are
Come just like you be
It's the bumps and curves of our history
But no blocks in the road that we can't traverse
And no wounds from the past that can't be nursed
All hate gonna dissipate from our fate
No check, together we got a checkmate
All hate gonna dissipate and fade away
To make room for a brand new day
We got one world 'til its time to fly
We got so it's one love 'til we say goodbye
We got one world its enough to share
Til we're called home and we're caught up in the air we got
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I'm a dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
One world oughta be more than enough
And if its not, is God looking in pure disgust?
Wondering what the dilly with the silly I see?
When I made each of these in the image of me
Everyday is a chance for a new stance
Like every song is the beginning of a new dance
And everyone of us was made to reflect the light
And glorify the most high so bright
We got one world 'til its time to fly
So it's one love 'til we say goodbye
We got one world its enough to share
Til the king calls us home and we're caught up in the air we got
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I'm a dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
You can come as you are
Love is yours
Love is ours
I am a witness
sweet forgiveness
You will shine like a star
Burning bright where you are in our one world, one world
Like a star, like a star, like a star
One World
Like a star, Baby
One World
And I'm gonna dedicate this song, dedicate this song
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I'm gonna dedicate this song, dedicate this song
Lets come together and love,
Lets come together and love,
Lets come together and love,
Momma never said it would be like this
I never knew such bliss existed
Or maybe it's just so indescribable
Love was liable to get her twisted
She never told me but if she tried I was a little to young it floated right by me
I never dreamed love so fulfilling it's simply killing and over spilling on me
It goes on and on and on and on and on
Its over spillin' on me
It goes on and on and on and on and on
It goes on and on, Yo
This ain't no ordinary
This ain't no ordinary love
This ain't no ordinary
Gonna tell everyone up under the sun
I refuse to believe we're a dying breed
Children of peace, hope and harmony
Ordinary folks extraordinary love
Something from above
Something we fall short of
You can't see with an untrained eye
But if you take a little time you are sure to find it
We complicate something so basic
But once you taste it, you gonna chase it like me
It goes on and on, Yo
It goes on and on
This ain't no ordinary
This ain't no ordinary love
This ain't no ordinary
Gonna tell everyone up under the sun
A-yo here we go, open up the gates and let it flow...
A-yo here we go, Love's gonna take us higher
This ain't no ordinary...
This ain't no ordinary love
This ain't no ordinary
Gonna tell everyone up under the sun
This ain't no ordinary
This ain't no ordinary love
This ain't no ordinary
Gonna tell everyone, tell everyone
This ain't no ordinary love
(Narnia)
(Narnia)
No one believed her
No one imagined it was true
No one could see her
Winter haven coming into view
She says she's seen the land beyond
She says she's walked her Babylon
She felt the cold beneath her feet
Where time stood still
Where the winter won't sleep
(Where the winter won't sleep)
I've seen the New World
(Like nothin' before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I've seen the New World
(Like nothin' before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
All hope was fading
A darkness far beyond their might
But love came crusading
On the wings of healing sacrifice
He gave them somethin' to believe
Came back in all his majesty
He conquered evil through his love
Inhibited the land they were dreamin' of
(Love came crusading)
I've seen the New World
(Like nothin' before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I've seen the New World
(Like nothin' before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I never dreamed it but it seems that he's alive again
Shakin' his mane he's just the same as I remember him
The spell is wakening with every breath he's breathin' in
And when I love it he's our king again
(There, just behind the waterfalls)
(I've seen a New World.)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I've seen the New World
(Like nothin' before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I've seen the New World
(Like nothin' before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
Into a New World
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King is born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a brand new shining star
They heard a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King is born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day
Sing na, na, na... Hallelujah
Na, na, na, na, na, na...
Na, na, na...
Sing Hallelujah
Na, na, na ey...
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room in sight
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger, cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King is born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day
[x2]
Sing na, na, na... Hallelujah
Na, na, na, na, na, na...
Na, na, na...
Sing Hallelujah
Na, na, na ey...
Sing na, na, na... Hallelujah
Na, na, na, na, na, na...
Na, na, na...
Sing Hallelujah
The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see
It's no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget that...
I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you
The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide
Back in the ring you've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And daddy I'm on my way
Cause I was made to love...
I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you
I was made to love you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you
(nah, nah, nah, nah - nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
(nah, nah, nah, nah - nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it all away (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it all away (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it, I'd give it all away, Oh yeah
Cause I was made to love you (I was made to love you)
Yeah I was made to love you (I was made to find you)
Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you) (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you)
Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you) (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
I was made to love you (I was made to adore you)
Yeah I'm loved by you
Yeah I'm loved by you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Yeah I' m loved by you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
(nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
I clear my throat before I grab the mic
I need uno momento
Them cynics gonna ride me like a pinto
No resentment do you comprehend my innuendo
You still can't leave the party til you drop your crucial info
Am I jaded in assuming that you're simply bound to do me
Like them other lyricists who's message ain't so gloomy
Pan my positivity cause love has let you down
Cuz if they taste the love you tasted
They'd be making sweeter sounds, 'T
Government checks they flex with no dollars
Two turntables and a plate full of collards
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But my DJ makes the people wanna holler
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Mama always said it's a matter of fact
that when love is in the house the house is packed
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Daddy always said that I wish I was black
cuz when love is in the house the house is packed
Packed like a baby nine months in the womb
Man it was packed like the closet full of Nike's in my room
Singin' Oh sweet Lord take me to the next level
Where the love's much thicker than the stares of my devils
So whether or not this is a dream or reality
Let me appeal to the graces of His majesty
Amazing it will be when this tree bears life
My roots run to the river and the Giver of Life
Corporate jets they flex with big dollars
Two palm pilots and a room full of bawlers
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But amazing grace makes the people wanna holler
Woke up this morning, didn't know what to do
There was people all around me tellin' me to sing the blues
Said they ain't seen no happy since 1992
Then they turned to me thinking I'd agree and I offered
Man I wanna tell ya'll something, Man.
Man I'm not gonna let these material thing's, get in my way, ya'll.
I'm trying to get somewhere.
I'm trying to get somewhere,
Thats real and pure and true and eternal.
Father God, I am clay in your hands,
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
And every little thing I make up my mind to be,
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit,
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above,
The road that is wide and filled with self love,
Everything that I see draws me,
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
(Mr. Franklin, Step up to the mic sir)
The paparazzi flashes, and that they think that it's you,
But they don't know that who you are is not what you do,
True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts,
Yo before we part from the start,
Where's your heart?
You a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what's your title,
America has no more stars, now we call them idols,
You sit idle, While we teach prosperity,
The first thing to prosper should be inside of me.
We're free...
Not because of 22's on the range,
But Christ came in range, we said yes now we changed,
Not the same, even though I made a fall,
Since I got that call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul.
(YEP!)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
Don't wanna walk away,
Don't wanna walk away
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity.
(Lord what we gon do,We're relying on you,
all eyes are on you Lord,
all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you Jesus.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
(Don't let me lose my soul, my soul.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(This is my honesty, Father, won't you cover me.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(Don't wanna walk away, and all those people say)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(Don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul.)
Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world,
That fight for our love, and our passion,
As our eyes are open wide and on you.
Grant us the privilege of your world view,
And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down.
(Hallelujah, Don't wanna lose our soul,
No, Don't wanna lose my soul.)
Hey excuse me,
I'm looking or the after party,
Toby,
Haha, yeah, last door on the left, you'll hear it.
Thanks,
No problem.
Don't let me lose my soul, I never wanna walk away,
I don't wanna lose my soul,
No, no, no.
Don't let me, don't let me, lose my soul,
I don't wanna walk away,
Don't let me walk away,
Na na na na no,
Don't let me lose, my soul,
I fell asleep around 2 am it's almost noon
And now my mom is bangin' down the door of my room
She said my pager's bouncin' and buzzin' up off the floor
And now my friends are jumpin' and shouting outside our door
I growled at her and pulled the covers up over my head
She laughed and slammed a pillow on my face and shook my bed
She said I might just wanna peek out the window
Sat up and squinted, took a peek out the window
It snowed it snowed it snowed... today let's go out and play
It snowed it snowed it snowed... today
Hallelujah, snow angels rejoice
Let your wings unveil and lift your voice
I grabbed my toboggan and boots and I was out the door
I didn't know that I was walking right into a war
Sliding down that icy walk feelin' chill like outer space
Turned in time to catch a snowball right upside my face
My feet they slipped and suddenly I was up in the air
I hit the ground... laughter came from everywhere
I jumped right up and joined the making of this joyful sound
And then we all fell back and waved our arms and legs around
It snowed it snowed it snowed... today let's go out and play
It snowed it snowed it snowed... today
Hallelujah, snow angels rejoice
Let your wings unveil and lift your voice
All creation lift Your praise,
Christ is born, it's Christmas day
It snowed it snowed it snowed... today
It snowed it snowed it snowed... today
Hallelujah, snow angels rejoice
Let your wings unveil and lift your voice
[x2]
All creation lift Your praise,
Hush little baby baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer
Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
Don't waste your sorrows
They'll give you strength ... tomorrow
Your Calvary's about to come so
Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
This storm will pass you be ready for the next one
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there so don't you fear
Irene I carried you when you was too weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
You have dreams and aspirations
I knew you before creation
Your foundation's solid
I will give you a palace, restore your soul
You'll be up for any challenge
Many storms are on the way better sharpen your faith
Count the cost, take up your cross
And wear it every day
Rest in Me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my face
I had a dream last night about the other side
And I must confess that it was quite the ride
I had a dream last night and the fact that you weren't there
Gave me quite the scare
People were afloat all around me
Yet their weightless state never seemed to astound me
Everything was grand till I noticed one thing
That you, my friend, weren't on the scene
There in the air
I've been workin' all morning trying to spin my dream
Cause I just can't believe you weren't in my dream
Remember you and I said we would paint the sky
And the leaves on the trees and the stars at night
We made beats and we even wrote rhymes
And played golf, I think, a million times
Now we never got around to spiritual matters
But we sure made time for our mindless chatter
I wanna see you there
In the the air
One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah)
I wanna see you there
In the the air
One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah)
Hello, wassup (wassup), how ya doin' (just fine)
I was sorta wonderin', could we make the time
(Just kick it) why not (at our usual spot)
Latte's in May, mine cold, yours hot
(So where we goin') much deeper than our usual chat
(Like who's beats is weak and who's beats is phat)
Nah, my man, this some next level junk
(Like when we discussed if Tiger Woods could dunk)
Just meet me there, seven o'clock, rain or shine
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' thru
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' thru
Flow like the Cassius, swing like the Clay
One day, I'm'a make the whole world pay
With k.o.'s and okay we bash clots-n-dot-dash
You got that right, I'm'a rock the Morse code tonight
Transmit 'n throwin' fits 'n paparazzi like zits
Get flipped out and squeezed fresh like juicy sun kissed
And if I miss with my missles you're still gonna sizzle
'Cause I frizzle fry radiation style worldwide
You got your pipeline clogged man get that puppy routed
You got the style down and since you don't know about it
Who's the loser (I am) because we come in numb love
And choicer and did I mention looser (no you didn't)
Then I do sir, producer, hit me with the juice
Much obliged got the head of a moose
So mount me on the wall of your livin' room
Sure to bring the boom
Speakin' like a zoom deep into your tomb
And if you feel the vibe glide true it's on you
And if you need to drive right through it's on you
And if your screamin' "moi non plus" it's like
What you tryin' to do when you can't fade the true one
Eruption type volcanics I got the vocal spurtmatic
Suction cup hands upside the slammin' daily planet
I do windows (on school days) spill Jim Jones (type kool-aid)
All these primrose (style bouquets) I clip those (for doomsday)
Got succulent flavor, the uprisen Savior
Manifestin' thru these mics, blastin' out your graveyard
Savor every bite that TOBYMAC gave ya
I told the girl that you should treat her like a lady and
She told me all the things you did and it was shady, man
She said that what you say and what you do are different things
While you were telling me that you were checking out them blingy rings
She said she's had enough
Well, it sounds to me like you're straight out of luck
And she said she's all through
And life's not blowin' her kisses thanks to you
I wanna know, wanna know what you were thinkin'
I can't imagine why it didn't even sink in
They say you never know what you got till it's gone
(Never know what you got till it's gone)
I wanna know, wanna know what you were thinkin'
I can't imagine why it didn't even sink in
They say you never know what you got till it's gone
(Never know what you got till it's gone)
She said she's had enough
So, it sounds to me like your still out of love
And she said you weren't true
And life's not blowin' her kisses thanks to you
She said it's gonna be alright
Cause God made a way through the pain and he opened her eyes
And she said you came crawling back
Tru Dog's back
Playa from another laya.

And everyonce in awhile just to see if they feel me,

[tobyMac]
This tracks getting out of control.
[Tru Dog]
But Dad!
That's not a very good hype man.
[tobyMac]
hey, I heard that,

[Tru Dog]
Hahah,
Wake up to the morning light
wipe away the lonely nights
let a brand new day wash over you,
Wanna see you smile again
show some love to your crazy friends
wipe your tears away
those days are through
If you move just a little bit closer you can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah
Chorus: So baby hold on
just another day or two
I can see the clouds are
moving faster now
and the sun is breaking through
If you can hold on, to the one that's holding you
there is nothing that can
stop this crazy love
from breaking through
We're breaking through
We're breaking through
Wake up to the morning sun
thank the Lord for the
things He's done
lift your eyes up to the
hope that's ever true
Wanna see you smiling girl
you're a light in this jaded world
wipe away those tears
this one's for you
Come on, move a little bit closer, you can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah
Chorus
And the stars are up there
shining for you
oh, the Father does adore you
His love will never change
And you and I
we were born to follow
the hope that will lead us to tomorrow
and no one can take it away
So baby hold on
just another day or two
I can see the clouds are
moving faster now
and the sun is breaking through
If you could hold on
to the one that's holding you
there is nothing that can stop this crazy, crazy love from breaking x2
You see the clouds are
moving faster now
the clouds are moving faster
You see the clouds are
moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through
Hey now, I feel a new one comin' on so that you can sing along with it
Right now and I'm gonna dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
Hey now, one love, one God out of many his people
Right now it's been a long time comin' but I'm serving up the sequel
Back from the day, I'm the sleeper done slumbering
Pass me the mic and I might stop mumbling
Crumble like a cracker, I'll fall like a leaf
But the hole in my soul's been filled underneath
So whether you're a loser or a winner by the numbers
Everyone knows a tie goes to the runner
So lace up your shox, get yourself in this race
Cause this little thing here gonna set a new pace
Sometimes we do it like this, sometimes we do it like that
Sometimes we say it with words so you can see where we at
And on a different level I persist to reach a girl or any fella
I believe we receive a little then we all do better
Hey now, help is coming anyday now
Hope it can reach me when I am way down
One love, one God and I'm ok now
Ten years, TOBYMAC and GRITS stay down
What you think of this here, gotta get with this here
Diverse City, are you gonna get it this year?
What you think of this here, gotta get with this here
Diverse City and we'll run it till He gets here
Get your back up off the wall
Live a little, come on
Get your back up off the wall
Everybody come on
One love, one God, I feel a new one comin' on so that you can sing along with it
One love, one God, and I'm gonna dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
One love, one God, one love, one God out of many his people
One love, one God, it's been a long time comin' but I'm serving up the sequel
She dialed him about 6:00 pm
She checked her hair in the mirror
And she stepped through the door like this
Three flights down
And she's out on the streets
Walking brick sidewalks lined in grey concrete
He saw her coming from a few blocks away
Red scarf in the wind as it started to rain a bit
Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought that you had me
But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
I don't need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
So move on
I stepped to it like I knew what I was doing
I'm a moth
You're the flame
Never knew you'd be my ruin
In the blink of an eye
Element of surprise
Got my feet on the earth
But my face to the sky
Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought you had me
Now the plot is thickening
Pushing deep under my skin
I thought you had me
You that that you had me
You're a beauty and A beast
You're the pressure never cease
You're the straight other side

Please leave a message after the tone.

Break out your freak appeal
You think you know the deal
I'm gonna show you what's for real
There ain't a day that goes by
That I'm not singing Your praise
There ain't a day that goes by
That I'm not lifting your name
A supernatural high
Your love is simply insane
You got me feeling so fly
So fly when it's You and I
And the way we hanging in the morning time
And it's so dope I can barely cope
When you make my joy go and overflow
I can't help but glorify my Adonai
It's so fly that it's blowing minds
So fly that they can't deny
There ain't a day that goes by
That I'm not singing Your praise
There ain't a day that goes by
That I'm not completely amazed
A supernatural high
Your love is simply insane
You got me feeling so fly
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Well it's me, TMac
Feeling fly as a kangol hat
Insecticides can't steal this shine cuz
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 your lip
I never fear 'cause I live fearless
Don't even think for a second you can get with this
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 hop 1979
And Sugar Hill had the skills that taught me to rhyme
Got hip to Kiss and I tripped on Zeppelin
So 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
Just the other day I saw a kid
Who flipped his hat to the back and he called it a lid
You know what else he did?
He stacked books from the floor to ceiling
Said somethin' bout trying to get to heaven
And he was only eleven
So 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
Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know
This goes out to my man his name is True Blue
For all the nights that your Daddy spent away from you
For all the days that I told you "Maybe next time"
Laid up in the studio consumed with my next rhyme
What kind of lyric can I drop to make you think twice
About the trials that you're gonna face in this life
I can lullaby even point you to the Most High
Prayin' every little thing is gonna be all right
Someday my love isn't gonna be fulfilling
Try as I may, human love it hits a ceiling
But I can sow the seeds, say a prayer, this I know
If faith can move a mountain
Surely God can make His spirit grow in you
This goes out to my little man t Mac
For all the junk you've been carrying on your back
My burden's easy and My yoke is a featherweight
And this you know yet you're still a man of little faith
What can I do to spring your knowledge into how you roll
Don't you have the Spirit and the letters that My people wrote
My love stretches farther than your mind can conceive
I've got a hand full of grace, a heart full of mercy
Someday My son, your gonna find My love fulfilling
Hope as I may, you've got to turn in when you're willing
I'll take you as you are and just to add a human touch
I gave to you a son so you can understand the Father's love for you
God will light your path if you want Him to
Just emphasize His lead and your dreams will come true
From the Father to the Son to the multitudes
La historia nos ha dado una declaración que sobre vive a los tiempos
El villancico de estos reyes hace brillar el alma,
Que nos recuerda que el verdadero Rey ha nacido
(History has given us a proclamation which outlasts the ages
The Carol Of These Kings vibrates the soul
Reminding us that a true King is born)
Midnight strikes and awww
See them rushing through the stained doors
Like kids in a sugarcane store
Is this what they stood in rain for?
Suddenly, Isle 3
Stood a sight so angelically
Inhale voice to the sky
Hear the bells ring it goes:
Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
No panic, no stress
Opposite security threat
'Cause their eyes declared peace be still
In the midst of hopelessness
On their knees all agree
To reconcile to the King of peace
Many voices, one plea
And you can hear them scream it goes:
Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
So we're laying down our crowns when the carol bell sounds
Now behold the rich and poor
Neighboring and distant shore
A baby King existing more than
A manger in the Inn
The source of life for man
Whose glory lights the land
The remedy for sin in generation and again and again
We're thankful for gifts and the presents but
Give us the gift of your presence Sir (please)?
'Cause we all long to be
A symphony of royalty so with this we sing
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we've traveled so far
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain
Following yonder star
And you can hear them scream they said:
Woooooooooo
So we're laying down our crowns
When the carol bell sounds
Following yonder star
Christmas is here...
So we're laying down our crowns
When the carol bell sounds
Following yonder star
Feliz Navidad a todos.
Recuerden que, el verdadero sentido de la Navidad,
Es el nacimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo
(Merry Christmas to all
Remember the true meaning of Christmas is
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
'Cause its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
Wait a second...

A babe was born
In a manger lain
Shepherds rejoice
And angels sing
Glory to the newborn king!
I love it when it's Christmas time
Happy thoughts rolling all through my mind
It's not about the gifts piled under the tree
But it's about my Savior, how He came to be
I woke up today, I can't deny
The joy that I felt down deep inside
Don't come from the things that are temporary
It comes from the Lord
You know Him, JC

'Cause everything feels so right
Everybody's here
Spreadin' Christmas cheer
Best time of the year

Lets open up and let our hearts embrace this moment/

For ChristMas this year/
Gonna make a sound gonna make it loud/

We're gonna make some noise let the world rejoice/

The Laughter starts/

and oh what joy it brings to me/
our family around our Christmas Tree/
And I thank the lord for his favor/

I'd heard Your name, but never seen Your face
Been touched before but never Your embrace
Had a soul to lose and the world to gain
But then You whispered my name
And I heard the truth but never from Your lips
Bought the lies of many counterfeits
Dreamed my dreams, but they were never in color
And I searched for You and many others
I was down for the count
Then I saw Your face
Just a glimpse of Your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever
Changed forever now
Then I saw Your face
One glimpse of Your face, it's a whole new game
Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever
Yours forever now
If I could reach the stars, I could touch the sky
And if I spread my wings, I could almost fly
I had everything paper could buy
I was lost in my disguise
And if I played my role, they would feel my style
If I bought the night they would buy my smile
I've been runnin' this game for a million miles
Believin' my own lies
I was down, I was out
I was blinded by my selfish dreams
Everything ain't what it seems
From inside to out, there ain't no doubt
I been changed
NOTHING SHORT OF satisfaction
Your love caused a change reaction
I can tell you this much I FELT your touch
And I'm changed
When I was down for the count, YOUR love surrounded me
Blink of an eye
I saw my destiny
Change, rearranged ‘cause I couldn't maintain
The heart it took to even stay in the game
One look in Your eyes even I realized
A fellow like me had been put down to size
To be built up in a better way, Your way
Yahweh ain't about to fade
Bombastic, ain't no way to mask it
I saw Your face, and my old way's blasted
Slackin' off like a bum, I'm feelin' ho hum
I'm feelin' luke warm like the water in my tub
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we're not
We had that fire like we was boilin' in a pot
Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Fire, I'm feenin' for a flicker
Then we'll fan the flame up into something bigger
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we're not
We gonna catch a fire, catch a fire for God
Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Fire, takin' it from warm to hot
Fire, gotta give it all we got
Fire, whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Spark to a flame, I'm flippin' up my game
I caught the fire and I'll never be the same
So unexplainable I can't contain it, son
And my retaining it would only be a shame
So let me hear you say
Heat, like the Kingston concrete
There ain't no stoppin' the fire
We're straight breakin' ground
There ain't no cooling this thing down
We burnin' up and keep'n it krunk as we know how
Hear me now people
Catch a fire let it burn within
(feat. DC Talk)
I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry, ain't no meanin' to your scribble
Cause words can't describe what you've been feelin' inside
It's like thousand foot walls, and they're still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you're not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional
I'll keep the light on, for you
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I'll keep the light on, for you
You've come this far, don't you ever lose heart, now
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I know you're all alone in a crowd full of friends
I can see it in your eyes that your fadin' again
Checking out, moving into your hole
Where the light can't touch any part of your soul
But hold up and let the river rush in
You can turn around and start livin' again
Cause your life is a beautiful bloom
In the image of the one that created you
I'll keep the light on, for you
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I'll keep the light on, for you
You've come this far, don't you ever lose heart, now
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I'll be there
Said I'll be there, said I'll be there
Said I'll be there always, forever
Just turn around and I'll be there
(Said I'll be there always, forever)
I'm moving into your atmosphere
(Said I'll be there always, forever)
Just turn around and I'll be there
(I will, I will be there, oh)
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I'am letting go
I'am letting go
I'am letting go
Why's it always circumstantial?
Never any real potential
Obvious and so sequential
It always ends the same
Holding out with all that's in me
Is it worth all this pretending?
A story with an ugly ending it's never worth the pain
So right here and now I am all in
Cause I'm letting go of everything I am
And I'm holding on to everything You are
I'm letting go of everything I once was
I'm all in
I'm fallin' into Your arms again
I'am letting go
I'am letting go
Can we just wait out the weather?
I could stay right here forever
Got to get myself together
Real life is on the way
Call it my foregone conclusion
I'll always welcome Your intrusion
You're the master of my choosing
I'm all Yours
Cause I'm letting go of everything I am
And I'm holding on to everything You are
I'm letting go of everything I once was
I'm all in
I'm all in
I'm fallin' into Your arms again
This time I'm so for real
It's time I sealed the deal
Shut down my lame appeals
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
I'll throw caution to the sky
Kiss all my fears goodbye
This time its do or die
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
Cause I'm letting go of everything I am
And I'm holding on to everything You are
I'm letting go of everything I once was
I'm all in
I'm all in
Cause I'm letting go of everything I am
And I'm holding on to everything You are
I'm letting go of everything I once was
I'm all in
I'm fallin' into Your arms again
I'am letting go
I'am letting go

I clear my throat before I grab the mic
I need uno momento
Them cynics gonna ride me like a pinto
No resentment do you comprehend my innuendo
You still can't leave the party til you drop your crucial info
Am I jaded in assuming that you're simply bound to do me
Like them other lyricists who's message ain't so gloomy
Pan my positivity cause love has let you down
Cuz if they taste the love you tasted
They'd be making sweeter sounds, 'T
Government checks they flex with no dollars
Two turntables and a plate full of collards
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But my DJ makes the people wanna holler
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Mama always said it's a matter of fact
that when love is in the house the house is packed
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Daddy always said that I wish I was black
cuz when love is in the house the house is packed
Packed like a baby nine months in the womb
Man it was packed like the closet full of Nike's in my room
Singin' Oh sweet Lord take me to the next level
Where the love's much thicker than the stares of my devils
So whether or not this is a dream or reality
Let me appeal to the graces of His majesty
Amazing it will be when this tree bears life
My roots run to the river and the Giver of Life
Corporate jets they flex with big dollars
Two palm pilots and a room full of bawlers
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But amazing grace makes the people wanna holler
Woke up this morning, didn't know what to do
There was people all around me tellin' me to sing the blues
Said they ain't seen no happy since 1992
Then they turned to me thinking I'd agree and I offered
Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.
(Uh) We didn't know what to do
You were lookin at me and I was lookin at you
We were thinkin' it odd but we were thankin' our God
For the hope that He put down deep in our hearts
And yo, without a second to think
We was turned around and we were makin that bank
And we was ridin in style clockin them miles
With the songs that He put down deep in our hearts
Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.
Yeah, it's been a minute my friend
And you and I, we never thought it would end
But when we stopped to pause and opened the doors
There's some dreams that were put down deep in my heart
But hey, I'm always thinkin of you
And I can see your influence in the things that I do
Think and thin, forever my friend
Cause there's a vine that was put down deep in our
hearts
Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.
We didn't know what to do
You were lookin at me and I was lookin at you
We were thinkin' it odd but we were thankin' our God
For the hope that He put down deep in our hearts
And hey, if I could turn back time
I wouldn't touch a day I wouldn't shade the shine
Cause I do know this, I won't be remiss with the
memories locked away in my heart (locked away in my
heart...)
Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
[theres no other place that I want to be]
[no other place that I can see]
[a place to be thats just right]
[someday Im gonna be in the light]
[you are in the light]
[thats where I need to be]
[thats right where I need to be]
I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
Ive got one for every selfish thing I do
Whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That Im still a man in need of a savior
(chorus)
I wanna be in the light
As you are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
The disease of self runs through my blood
Its a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control
Tell me, whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That Im still a man in need of a savior
(repeat chorus)
Honesty becomes me
[theres nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[in your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[and riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[has been sentenced to this earth]
Has been sentenced to this earth
Tell me, whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That Im still a man in need of a savior
(repeat chorus 2x)
[theres no other place that I want to be]
[no other place that I can see]
[a place to be thats just right]
[someday Im gonna be in the light]
[you are in the light]
[thats where I need to be]
I waited patiently for the Lord.
He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of a horrible pit
Out of the miry clay.
You set my feet upon a rock
And established my steps.
Many will see it and trust in the Lord.
Many will hear it.
He has put a new song in my mouth (Psalm 40)
Praise to our God (the Chief Musician) (X 4)
Sacrifice and offering you do not desire
My ears you have opened
Burnt offering you did not require
Then I said "Behold, trust in the Lord."
Do not delay, oh my God.
He has put a new song in my mouth (Psalm 40)

Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be all right
The Lords gonna answer your prayer
Last night you had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little
child
Don't you cry, It'll be all right
You've got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eye lids
Don't waste your sorrows
They'll give you strength tomorrow
Your Calvary's about to come so
Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
This storm will pass you'll be ready for the next one
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on you
shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there so don't you fear (2x)
CHORUS (2x)
Irene, I carried you when you was to weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have
move
You have dreams and aspirations
I knew you before Creation
Your foundation's solid
I will build you a palace, restore your soul
You'll be up for any challange
Many storms are on the way; better sharpen your faith
Count the cost, take up your Cross
And wear it everyday
Rest in me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my face
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your
shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there so don't you fear (2x)

I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear
CHORUS (2x)
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Its been a long time coming
Since I saw your face
Since we held it down
Since we were in the chase
It was the road less traveled
The path less formed
A skinny trail
It was barely worn
But we kept walkin'
And slippin' and talking'
And runnin' and fallin'
And cryin' and crawlin'
We were in the trenches
On top of the world
Young refugees but we were momma's pearls
Where you been dog?
Where you been?
I thought you fell off the face of the earth
I thought you fell, I thought you fell
I thought you fell off the face of the earth
I thought you fell, I thought you fell
Its been way too long and we've come too far
For you to drop out of my life like a falling star
Right off my radar
Not a sign or a trace
You know I had love for you that's Bigger than mistakes
Now Hope Road is calling
Let's pack you up and move
'Cause real friends are willing to intrude
So I'm gonna push you in because I wanna love you well
Let the ghosts of your past rest
Open up the door
This is the first day of the rest of your life
What are you waiting for?
This is the first day of the rest of your life
Open up the door
To life ...
Behold I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door
God is Love
by Toby Mac
[CHORUS:]
Love is God and God is Love
No one's below, no one's above
Thinking of my past motivates my future
Will I make or break, love or hate
Who's the fake 'n' who's the snake, man?
Who can I trust?
So many promises I've seen bust
Justice is never accomplished
Gotta let that go and keep on moving
Yeshua illuminate my path, keep me tuned in
So much negative around for me to get consumed in
But I still have peace in the midst of confusion
I still have peace in the midst of confusion
And even though I know my life has purpose
I find myself down and out feeling worthless and
defenceless
I can't stand their eyes against me
But I still call no man my enemy
Competition is none no competitors
Matthew 5:44's got me praying for predators
Turnin' cheeks on the regular
So throw your dart and chances are you'll hit the heart
But never take me apart because I'm founded in
Yeshua...
So who can be against me?
That's what I thought, nobody
Because
[CHORUS]
Toby Mac and I'm here to drop this on you
I got a fresh point of view
John Reuben let me tell you what I'm trying to say
The world can't take these smiles away
Sunny days, oh they may be grey
And by the way some people just love to hate
But I got love for them all
So much love for them all
God is Love with a capital L
And it's the last thing he told us through Christ as
well
You gotta love God with all your heart
And love your brother like you love yourself
Love your brother like you love yourself
And for you John that's a whole lot of love
[CHORUS]
Love huh, no one's above it or below it
Love's right, they think they're tough cause they don't
show it
Love huh, we make it plain to see that we got love
Even if they haven't for we
Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Look
She's slipping
You're sliding down
She'll be there
When you
hit the ground
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh
Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
On your knees boy
It's the way - She
turns the tide
She sees the man, inside the child
Yeah
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Love
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
Lift my days, light up my nights
Love
One day you will look... back
And you'll see... where
You were held... how
By this love... while
You could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh
Oh love
Oh love, lover
Move you
Spirit move
Baby love me
Move
Baby love me
Move you
Baby love me
Move with it
She moves with it
Well it started out in the spare bedroom
Two turned tables uh and a microphone
I was flipping over 33's
Working on rhymes and melodies
Searching for some more review (can't hear the less of me)
It's never been my dream
To see my face in magazines
It's always been about the music
Hoping God would use it to set some people free
But I can say without a doubt
I never had it figured out
Won't you open every door I've stepped through yea?
And I try to keep my head about it
I'm thankful for the friends around me
I'm thankful for You yea yea yea
I'm thankful for You
I've been on this road
But you come to my shows
Sometimes just to feel what y'all
(But at times we're closed)
But you've been right there to rock with us
We come together, we lift him up
Seeing You there inspires me, put Your fire in me
It's never been my dream
To read my name in magazines
It's always been about the music
Praying God would use it to set some people free
But I can say without a doubt
I never had it figured out
Won't you open every door I've stepped through yea?
And I try to keep my head about it
So thankful for the friends around me
I'm thankful for You yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
I'm thankful for You yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
I'm thankful for You
It's such a free feeling that You got me feeling
We're all good all good all good
I love this free feeling that You got me feeling
We're all good all good all good
Said I love that free feeling that You got me feeling
We're all good all good all good
Yea they say you become who you hang out with
Well I can tell you for sure
You made me a better man
And I can say without a doubt
I never had it figured out
Won't you open every door I've stepped through yea?
And I try to keep my head about it
So thankful for the friends around me
I'm thankful for You yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
I'm thankful for You yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
I'm thankful for You
Thankful for You
Thankful for You
God's in the spot you can like it or not
So rip the knob off the volume when you give this a shot
And raise your hands as the slam starts to thicken the plot
Openin' eyes to the lies of the enemies' lot
So run like the wind from the sin of your past
Keep your eyes on the prize when they put you on blast
It's the Christ on the cross, it's humanity's shot
It's a worldwide call to everything that we're not
This is the slam, this is the one
This is the slam, this is the one
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna do it like it ain't been done before
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna bring it like it ain't been brung
This is the slam, this is the one
We gonna do it like it ain't been done before
This is the slam this is the one
We gonna spring you like you ain't been sprung
They came from the cities and towns all around
To see the longhaired preacher from the desert get down
Waist high in water, never short on words, he said
Repent, the kingdom of heaven can be yours
But he stopped in the middle of his words and dropped
Down to his knees and said, behold the Lamb of God
He's the one, the slam, don't you people understand?
You're staring at the son, God's reaching out his hand
The father slammed it like Shaq
For Latinos and Blacks
Packin' them straps
And Caucasians hooked on Ecstasy and the crack
Stacked the sins of this world to his body
And conquered evil and hell
Then snatched the keys of death in one breath and unlocked the cell
He rose on the third
I'm tellin' you partner, its actual fact
Just like TOBYMAC and Boney Soprano up on this track
We slam dunkin' and keep it jumpin' like jumper cables
Yea, here we go
1, 2, 3
She was 17 when she came on the scene
I saw her down the hall and felt that I was in a dream
See she was from the islands
Which had this brother smiling
Little did I know that I’d be on this, my contestifying
I love sunsets but she likes sunrise
I’m always running late and she’s always on time
But I like U2 and she like Coldplay
But something tells me we’re gonna be OK
‘Cause she was made for me
You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine
And she was made for me
Made for me
And she was made for me
Made for me
Next chapter - we got hitched
And thought we’d have some kids
Looked up and now we got five little Jamaricans
I thank God every day
I’m blessed in a crazy way
My daughter said 2 to 8
This thing we got is cool like shake
I love sunsets but she likes sunrise
I’m always running late and she’s always on time
Well I like hip-hop and she likes raggae
So we meet in the middle with some Shattie
‘Cause she was made for me
You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine
And she was made for me
Made for me
And she was made for me
Made for me
She is a flower, You are the rain
She gets more beautiful with every passing day
She is my flower and You are the sun
She gets more beautiful because of how You love
How You love
I get to call her mine
I get to call her mine, oh my
See she like slow dates and I like fast dates
She into books, I’m into movies
She made straight As
Well I got white skin and she got brown skin
But milk and coffee’s always been a beautiful blend
She was made for me
When You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine
She was made for me
When You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine
And she was made for me
She was made, she was made
Made for me
And she was made for me
She was made, she was made
Made for me
She was made, she was made for me (I get to call her mine)
We are, we are
We are, we are
We are, we are
We are, we are
We are the travelers, we look to the ever after
We are the strangers, we're practically in danger
We know he's rolled shit and never seemed to roll whip
This our predicament and we ain't even sick of it
We make our moves in mysterious ways
We'd rather burn, often stick to the shade
Not of this world so we live on the run
We keep our eyes set on what is to come
We are, we are (we are unstoppable)
We are, we are (for the impossible)
We are, we are (we are the kingdom come)
That's what we are, that's what we are
We are, we are (we are unstoppable)
We are, we are (for the impossible)
We are, we are (we are the kingdom come)
That's what we are, that's what we are
We keep it moving, this plat is by our choosing
When we get tripped up we call above for lift up
Stay busy bashing while people sleep with passion
They say we missing it but I'm inclined to stick with this
We make our moves in mysterious ways
We'd rather burn, often stick to the shade
Not of this world so we live on the run
We've got our heart set on what is to come
We are, we are (we are unstoppable)
We are, we are (for the impossible)
We are, we are (we are the kingdom come)
That's what we are, that's what we are
We are, we are (we are unstoppable)
We are, we are (for the impossible)
We are, we are (we are the kingdom come)
That's what we are, that's what we are
There's no disguising, truth is rising
There's no disguising, truth is rising
To pay is price, to die is gain
We're not afraid, we're not afraid
To pay is price, to die is gain
So wake the guards, we're not afraid
We are, we are
We are, we are (we are unstoppable)
We are, we are (for the impossible)
We are, we are (we are the kingdom come)
That's what we are, that's what we are
We are unstoppable
That's what we are, that's what we are
For the impossible
That's what we are, that's what we are
Unstoppable
We are, that's what we are
For the impossible
Take all of the good and all of the bad
‘Cause all of it's on me
Take all of my ways, the things that I chase
The things that control me
And all that I hide, could you bring me to life?
Could you open my eyes and show me?
Take all that was me and shape it to be
Reflecting you soully
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you
I don't care how it sounds
Burn it up to the ground
Your kingdom, my desire
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find.. to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
As all of the fates, I'll be on my way
The wreckage behind me
My feet on the ground
Two hands reaching out
The future is blinding
So what is stirring in you?
Please, stir up in me
All the dreams that you placed inside me
Take all that you see and shape it to be
The story you're writing
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you
I don't care how it sounds
Burn it all to the ground
Consume me with your fire
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find.. to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
So do not turn your face from me, do not turn your face
Do not turn your face from me, please don't turn..
I'm gonna lose myself, lose myself to find.. to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
I need to find you..
So do not turn your face from me, do not turn your face
So do not turn your face from me, do not turn your face
I need to find you..
Arrows... flyin' into silence
Broken pieces lyin' around
Wearing me down
Water risen'... back to... silence
Quietly cryin'
Wonderin' how
And look at us now
We thought our love would take the world by storm
Are we too far apart?
Two worlds among the stars?
You're gonna take a piece of my heart if you leave
So it's two separate ways, or is it too late to say
I wanna fight for what we've got
'Cause I believe
In family (in family)
In family (in family)
So are we still tryin'
For simply survivin'
Facing these giants
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
But I'm still believin'
Dreams we've been dreamin'
The hope that we built on
It's never too far, it's never too far
If we choose to turn and let these walls fall down
Are we too far apart?
Two worlds among the stars?
You're gonna take a piece of my heart if you leave
So it's two separate ways
Or am I too late to say
I wanna fight for what we've got
'Cause I believe
In family (in family)
In family (in family)
In family (in family)
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh
I still believe
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh
I still believe that we're not too far apart
Two worlds among the stars
Don't take a piece of my heart, please don't leave
It's not too late to say
Father, show us the way
Gotta fight for what we've got
'Cause You believe
In family (in family)
In family (in family)
In family
Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
[There ain't no disgusing the truth]
[I don't need to hide it... The truth]
Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think [What will people think]
What will people do [What will people do]
I don't really care [What else can I say]
