From the morning and over into the evening
Constantly thinkin bout you
Just wanna know if you feel the same
And if you missing me crazy
And I just can't wait to see my baby
You know there's nothing that can come between you and me
You're all but I wish I could have you right here with me
We're to far apart
It would only be this way from the start
Your the type I wanna call
First thing Saturday morning (call)
When I been traveling on the road for to long
And I'm missing the one I'm close to
But it don't go right at all unless I call
(Call) Just to say I'm thinkin of you
(Call) I don't wanna wait like I'm supposed to
(Call) That 2-way makin me wanna phone you
Just gotta hear you say Mishon
I'm glad you called
When you're at the mall (at the mall)
Get in your car
And it don't matter if you gotta use your mama's phone
Just wanna know you're okay
Cuz I'm missin you crazy
And I can't wait to be with my baby
It feels so good just to know that you're down for me
And ain't nothin ever gonna take away my shorty
Ha baby you need to know
Whenever it's all bad no matter what's going on
You're the type I wanna call
First thing Saturday morning (call)
When I've been traveling on the road to long
And I'm missing the one I'm close to
Like they don't go right at all unless I call
(Call me) Just to say I'm thinking of you
(Call) I can't wait til I'm supposed to
(Call) That 2-way makin me wanna call you
Just to hear you say Mishon
I'm glad you called
Your the only one that really understands me
When I'm out I count on you to make me happy
909 304 double 0 34
When I need to hear from the one I know
The light behind your eyes
tells me that you've cried
sometime tonight.
I offer down My hand
but without your plans
you cannot hide.
The white snow falls
on my black heart
I can never understand.
I hear You call
it melts my heart
You made me part of Your plan.
I'm pouring out my love
open up your hands
not big enough.
You tried to do it all
it's time for you to fall
you've done enough.
Oh my God I've worked so hard
Waiting for you to pick up the phone
Lying here in my bed
Spending the night thinking of you
And how am I gonna stay strong
I'm feeling kinda lonely right now
'Cause I do not feel you around
So maybe this call will make me remember
Make me feel you're here beside me
PRE-CHORUS:
So I close my eyes tonight
And breathe the cold evening air
And wait for the stars to show up in the sky
As I am calling your name
CHORUS:
Your voice is what I've been wanting
To hear all this time
To cure all this sadness
I'm feeling inside
I'm missing you so
And I love you so
But all I can do now is call
I love how you laugh and all
You make me remember home
Where we're simply satisfied with moments of laughter
Oh, how you brighten my days
I long for your sweet embrace
And gentle kisses you make
And how you whisper "I love you so much" and
Enjoy the sweetest of things
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
*ADLIB*
How long will you simple minds love your simple ways
and continue to reject the calling of wisdom
fools mock at making amends for sin
you fools detest turning from evil
Does not wisdom cry aloud does not understanding raise your voice?
the wise attaining wisdom and discipline listen and add to their learning
Worth more than silver yields more than gold
nothing you desire can compare with her
those who find her through Christ find life
all those who hate her love death
Why don't you open up your mind
can't you hear wisdom's cry?
If your shine is fading
If your light seems dim
You've got nothing left to lose
And you've got nothing left to win
Call
If you're close to broken
With your last dreams spent
If you're searching for your faith
And wonderin' where in the world it went
CHORUS:
Call, call
From the center of your soul
Call, call
On the holy name of the Lord
Call, call
He'll catch you when you fall
He will carry you through it all
Call
Oh, when you're in the valley of your deepest tears
If you think you're all alone
And love has surely up and disappeared
Oh, when you're out of answers
When you're in too deep
When you see the road that you must take
But you can't find the strength to move your feet
Go on and call
CHORUS
For He is near to all who call Him
And He hears their cry
He watches over those who love Him
Late at night, another day dies and the silver moon is on the rise
I have travelled far and wide chasing after shadows in my mind
The clinging silence 'round my ears magnifies the real fears
In a half-work I am floating down the river of years
I search the faces as I pass them by
Out to the ocean where the lost souls cry
Why do you call my name?
I hear your song
Why do you follow me, do I need to hear your song?
Crossing over the mountain range on a one way trip of time and change
Looking over my shoulder at the cloud of years that passed me yesterday
I have touched the ice of the northern lands,
I've sung the song of the desert sand
But in the end will there be something to understand?
When I leave the river for the open sea
I'll ride the waves and you will be me
Why do you call my name?
I hear your song
(Verse)
I knew I'd find you here
Standing in the middle of your biggest fear
Life's got its hands on you
And you don't know if anybody really cares
Don't have the strength to pray
Thinkin it'd be easier to walk away but
(Chorus)
Call, call
Just call on Him
Call, call
Just call on Him
When your faith is broken
And you're on your knees again
When your hope is stolen
And you just can't find a friend
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
(Verse)
We've all got gypsy souls
Wondering hearts that can grow so cold
I've been right where you are
Feelin so ashamed that you can't come home
(Chorus)
Call, call
Just call on Him
Call, call
Just call on Him
When your faith is broken
And you're on your knees again
When your hope is stolen
And you just can't find a friend
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
(Verse)
To your lowest lows, to your highest highs
There's nowhere you can go
That He won't find you
So just lay yourself down at His feet
Just open up your heart
And let Him save you
(Chorus)
Call, call
Just call on Him
Call, call
Just call on Him
When your faith is broken
And you're on your knees again
When your hope is stolen
And you just can't find a friend
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
Call, call
Call, call
And He'll come runnin
Call, call
Oh, oh
I've been in a cave,
For forty days,
Only a spark,
To light my way.
I want to give out,
I want to give in,
This is our crime,
This is our sin.
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the pain,
And through the grief,
Through the lives,
Through the storms,
Through the cries,
And through the wars.
Oh, I still believe!
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Flat on my back,
Out at sea,
Hopin' these waves,
Don't cover me.
I'm turned and tossed,
Upon the waves,
When the darkness comes,
I feel the grave.
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the cold,
And through heat,
Through the rain,
And through the tears.
Through the crowds,
And through the cheers.
Oh, I still believe!
Oh, oh, oh
I'll march this road,
I'll climb this hill,
Upon my knees if I have to
I'll take my place,
Up on this stage,
I'll wait till the end of time,
For you like everybody else.
I'm out on my own,
Walkin' the streets,
Look at the faces,
That I meet.
I feel like I
Like I want to go home.
What do I feel?
What do I know?
But I still believe.
I still believe.
Through the shame,
And through the grief.
Through the heartache,
Through the tears,
Through the waiting,
Through the years
For people like us,
In places like this
We need all the hope,
That we can get,
Oh, I still believe!
Oh, oh, oh oh
I ain't here to hold you when you cry
I ain't here to hold your shaking hand
I ain't here to look you in the eye
Or beg for you to understand
I ain't gonna walk you through your dreams
Walk you through this life that we all know
I ain't here to listen while you speak
I ain't here to heal your broken soul
Am I here at all?
I ain't here to tell you what you need
I ain't gonna take a noble stand
I ain't here to look you in the eye
Or beg for you to understand
I can only tell you what I've seen
I can only tell you how it felt
When my heart was crushed to bad inside
Till I felt the hatred slowly melt
I don't wanna
I ain't gonna watch your every move
I ain't gonna dog your every step
I ain't here to shape your every mood
I ain't here to keep your secrets kept
Oh, but if I held you in my arms
If I could squeeze you till we cry
I don't wanna lose this love I feel
I don't wanna lose this fight tonight
I ain't gonna
I ain't here to hold you when you cry
I ain't here to hold your shaky hand
I ain't here to look you in the eye
I don't want you under my command
I can only hope you feel your tears
I can only wish you'd feel the hope
I can only hope that I can see
Out beyond this skin that covers me
Oh, how I wish that you were here
If I could hold you in my arms
Oh, how I wish that you were mine
I don't wanna beg for you no more
I ain't gonna tell you how I feel
I ain't gonna tell you how I feel
I ain't gonna pray for you to love me
I feel the heavy hand of truth upon me
I feel the deadly sin of pride
It separates the highest form the lowly
It separates love from you and I
I hear the taunting voice of sure temptation
I hear the rantings of a child
An inner voice telling me I'm nothing
The voice is mine, subject to the lie
Heavy hand on heart
Healing words to impart
Heavy hand on my throat
This is no dream
This is no dream
I see the haunting glow of pure surrender
A shapeless light reveals the hidden vow
I can see the countless sons of thunder,
With their knowing eyes circling around me
I feel divisions in this crowd
Heavy hand on my heart
Healing word to impart
Heavy hand on my throat
This is no dream
All at once it happens
You find yourself involved
No escape can hide you
Sleep provides no rest at all
Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
Caught beneath the surface
Worlds lie in between
You know the search will tae you
Out beyond the world of things
What am I to say here?
Words so often fail
How am I to wake you?
From your sleep and left the
veil from your eyes
Will I find love with you?
I expect love from you
Will I find love here with you?
All my expectations
Fall upon this frozen ground
Fall upon this holy ground
Did not mean to hurt you
It was envy I suppose
Once that passion takes you
It chills the body and the soul
What am I to do here?
Words so often fail
How am I to wake you?
From you sleep and lift the
veil from your eyes
Will I find love with you?
I expect love from you
Will I find love here with you?
Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
Telling every wish and secret
Saying every word out loud
Can't go on like this much longer
Cannot hide here in this crowd
Why you chose to bear this likeness
Live inside this skin and bone
Wrath becomes the loving kindness
Heals the body and the soul
Waking every sleeping passion
Every single thought restored
Can't go on like this much longer
Raise me up
Keep that promise that you made
Wake me up
Keep that promise that you made
(CHORUS)
I think of you (everywhere I go)
I think of you (everywhere I go)
I look for you (everywhere I go)
I need you (everywhere I, everywhere I go)
Straight as a curve
Smiles, eyes, powers to confound me
I lose my nerve
Your voice, it echoes all around me
CHORUS
Ease me down
Keep that promise that you made to me
Take my hand
My mind reels, all my senses rise
Somewhere between pain and pleasure
The day goes by
Somewhere between word and action
The day goes by
You can try me without witness
You can tie me to the stake
I may burn, but I'll still be with you
Day or night, night or day
Don't you see you're the last to know
Your mind is dead, your heart won't grow
Nice and steady, then weeks behind
I've seen you there, I've seen you hide
I wanna know your mind's on me
Look at me now, face towards me
If you want me, you can find me
Day or night, night or day
The hours slipping slowly by
I look inside again
I see the emptiness exposing
All I have, all I am
I love the whispers in your eyes
I look to stay alive
Don't you want me, you can have me
Day or night, night or day
Somewhere between pain and pleasure
Somewhere between heel and toe
Someone walks the straight and narrow
Another lets the demons go
How can I lie here without feeling
You lift me up, you make me whole
I can trust you, will you look for me
There's a certain feeling
Known to all who hear the sound
The call of morning rising
You're in a mystic space
Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind
As it names you
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
Until the end I'll fight and die, to be free
Oh! No sanctuary
You're walking halfway in
But crawling halfway out
There's a void in your mind that you cling to
You feel lost in time, you've got no words to rhyme
No more charms, no more spells to protect you
Oh can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream, but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
Until the end I'll fight and die
So where to begin
Let's start with a child
And where will it end
Where the perfect guest meets his fate
In a scene beyond dreams
I stand where I stand
Convinced by the sight
We hold in our hands
Darkness and light where they meet
In a scene beyond dreams and a mother cries
And she cries
So we watch, and we wait
And we watch, and the hero dies
So where do we fit
Earthbound and chained
Can this be it
Visions of prophets and kings
From a scene beyond dreams
Scattered and armed
Fuel to the fire
Compassion, alarm
Images fade into scenes
Beyond dreams
The awaited appears
Branded with lies
He calls to his own
Loved and despised
From a scene beyond dreams and a mother cries
And she cries
And we watch, and we wait
I went down where the road meets the sea
And I took everything that I owned
I was sitting on catastrophes knee
I was expecting Armageddon to come
The highway was choked with its usual
Clots of pick-ups and loud radios
And the airwaves were full of the obvious
I was muttering, "Oh, what have we done"
You cried out to stop me
You cried out to stop me
I said oh no, it's too late
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
Well, I dreamed that we found bloody guns
As we're looking for the holes in the air
Someone shouted we were the ones
So I stepped on the gas in despair
I woke up from the dream in a sweat
With the knowledge of evil and good
I looked at my own silhouette
In the back with a bad attitude
You reached out to touch me
You reached out to touch me
I said oh no, it's too true
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
In our hearts we were wandering gypsies
In our mind we were heirs to the druids
To the poor we were swaddled in riches
To the rich we had nothing but poor
We don't know what become of our fortunes
Into the rescue or into the lines
We are gathering speed through this tunnel
To go down where the truth meets the lie
You reached out to soothe me
You reached out to soothe me
I said it's too cruel
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much

Saw a man? s home, a box made of cardboard
Frozen to the bone, can? t take much more
He says Lord I need help here, send me a strong hand
To lift me from the street, help me to stand
I? ve been forgotten, been forsaken
Poisoned by a bottle I could not shake it
I? ve been passed over, been rejected
And I? m afraid I? ll never feel
The warmth of summer come again
Man I am helpless, I? m freezing
You were there, you were there
I saw a sick man on a sick bed
Scorned by the world like he had two heads
He says I? m a man here dying a cruel death
I'm cut off from the world, man it was so sad
He was suffering, he was ailing
Tortured by his fate, his body was failing
He says I? m an outcast, left defenseless
And I? m afraid that I? ll be dead
Before the summer comes again
I? ve been rejected, man I am dying
You were there, you were there
Saw a rich man alone in a dark house
A prison made of gold he could not break out
He says my life is aimless, it just seems pointless
Boredom truly kills, man I am hopeless
I got diamonds, I got houses
I got silver clouds and silver spoons to match it
I? ve come up empty, man I am desperate
And I never want to feel
The warmth of summer come again
I? ll be forgotten, my life is over
You were there, you were there
How you gonna tell your story?
Are you gonna tell it true?
Either with or without reason
Love has paid the price for you
Now how you gonna cure this feeling?
How you gonna right this wrong?
Either with or without reason
The weaker do protect the strong
Listen in your hour of comfort
Just listen in your hour of pain
Either in or out of season
The hunters still pursue the game
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
Now lately I've begun to wonder
Just who is talking when you speak?
Either with or without reason
The stronger still pursue the weak
Now the wisest of the fools can tell you
Anything you want to hear
Either with or without reason
These are truths you hold so dear
And oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
I dedicate this inner chamber
I dedicate this harvest toil
Either with or without reason
The language of the heart takes hold
Now don't you see that love offends us
When it rises up against this waste
Either with or without reason
Evidence of sin and grace
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Help me, Help me
Help me in this hour
Hold me, Hold me
Hold me in your power
Walk, walk, walk with me
And tell me everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me what I need to know
'Cause I'm standing by the ocean
Waiting for my ship to sail
Cool me, cool me
Cool me from the flames
Tell me, tell me
Tell me what's your name
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me all I need to know
'Cause I'm standing at the station
Waitin' for the train to roll
Guide me, guide me
Guide me thu this maze
Lead me, lead me
Lead me thru the haze
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me all I need to know
'Cause I'm stranded on this island
Waitin' for my love to show
Hear me, hear me
Hear me in this hour
Help me, Help me
Help me climb your tower
Walk, walk, walk with me
And tell me everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me all I need to know
'Cause I'm standing at the crossroads
Waitin' for the guide to show
I don't care for cruel confrontations
I don't care for cool conversations
I don't care much for a life of crime
I don't care much for violent times
But I care about love
And I care about truth
And I care about trust
And I care about you
And I care about us
I don't care about the art of war
I hate to think of what all this killing's for
I don't care for all this competition
Fortune tellers, superstitions
But I care about love
And I care about truth
And I care about trust
And I care about you
And I care about us
I don't care for phony affectations, oh no
I don't care for this manipulation, oh no
I don't care much for forced affection
I don't care to pursue perfection
But I care about love
And I care about truth
And I care about trust
And I care about you
And I care about us
First born, grace begins
More bones, more skin
Veins surround me like a nest
Tie me in, first caress
Home
A womb to grow human in
A world to grow human in
Tremble
First breath, light surrounds
More sight, more sound
Immortal art, hands in wood
Freedom's form born to be rejected
Hopefully we labor on
Endlessly we labor on
Tremble
Last words, life begins
More bones, more skin
Grave clothes are cast away
Love returns faithfully
Home
We mock the world
'Cause we cannot see
We mock the world heartlessly
Cold
The last one to enter
Dearer than the first
the last one to enter
Tremble
Hopefully we labor on
Endlessly we labor on
Tremble
A world t grow human in
A womb to grow human
Did we ask for trouble when we asked for breath?
A silent witness put to the test
In a frozen moments an offering made
Foreign rumors live to this day, sing on yeah
Do, you feel protected inside the white walls?
A world neglected heads for a fall
A fate suspended each day is a gift
A world offended, God what is this?
He says, "We'll walk in the front door
And proudly raise our heads"
I say, "Man you must be joking
Our hands are covered in blood red"
Got a way that's easy, the territory's marked
Hurl us backwards back to the start
A cool deception, a gifted tongue
Nations falling down, down, down
He says, "We'll walk in the front door
And proudly raise our heads"
I say, "Man you must be foolin'
Our hands are covered in blood red"
Well, I see you standing beneath the tree
Your hands uplifted, on bended knee
In a fateful hour you hear another voice
I must remember what was my choice
He says, "I am the one, the one for you"
A look in your eyes can tell me what to do"
I feel ecstatic, I feel tranformed
More than conquered down to the bone
Yeah then we'll walk in right through heaven's door
And proudly raise our heads
I say, "Man you must be dreaming
Our hands are covered blood red"
I can see night in the day time
Into the woods I quietly go
It takes all the strength I have in me
These are the woods
The night of the soul
Painful to see
Love without action
Painful to see years of neglect
Achin' to see all that they see
Still telling lies to the remains of respect
Creatures we are worth defending
It takes the right word said from the heart
Given to you without ending
Given to you, the purpose of art
Thousands of plans, I've made many
I wonder just how many plans I have made
Feelin' this mood overtake me
Finally to see the truth as it fades
Out of these woods will you take me
Out of these woods, out of the strom
Sinless child can you save me
Too Many Tears Lyrics
Now as you know
It's your time on this earth
From a rock in the cradle
To a ride in the hearse
We keep moving upward
Toward everything free
Kindly look downward
The more you'll see me
I've had six years of luck
I've had six on the line
And I've poured myself out
Like an old bitter wine
I've seen much of nothin'
And nothin's the gain
Thrown on my backside
I don't know my name
There's too many tears
Too many tears
Too many people
In too many years
Some tears of laughter
Some tears of pain
Break like a fever
And fall like the rain
Points on the map, tears line the way
I've seen all your pretty things
And it won't stop the pain
There's been much confusion
With too many hurt
I feel my words dyin'
Down in the dirt
I've had lies in my head
There been lies in my heart
I've been tortured by this riddle
And I don't know how to stop
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys
And my mind starts to click
So do what you must do
And you best do it quick
Doctor, Oh Doctor
My world's in you hands
I feel like I'm dyin'
And boy I need a plan
Sister, sweet sister
There's blood on my lips
Why does it feel like
This room's doing flips
The rains come on time
It's clear I can tell
I've seen your work everywhere
And there's mercy in hell
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys
And again it all comes down
Do you see your life merging
In my memory
I can still see that face
In my memory
I can still hear the voice
I remember talkin' with you
The stories I could tell
In my memory, I remember you still
You gave the poet words to speak
you were the sun to warm my days
You put us in each others hands
You gave me love before I asked
In my memory
I can still see that face
In my memory
I can still hear the voice
I remember talkin' with you
The stories I could tell
In my memory, I remember you still
I feel my heart will surely break
I've taken all that I can take
You were the light for me to see
You were the sky that covered me
In my memory
I can still see that face
In my memory
I can still hear the voice
I remember talkin' with you
For hours by the well
In my memory, I remember you still
In my memory I can still see the eyes
In my memory
I can still feel your touch
I remember talkin' with you
The stories I could tell
It could have been me
Living in that house
With all those rooms
With all that power
And powerful friends
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Living on that street
Out in the cold
Nothing to eat
Dream of a home
Dream of a bride
A life alone
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Lying in that jungle
Out in that heat
Fighting of my life
Dying for nothin'
Feeling a bullet enter my soul
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Living in that prison
Locked in a cage
Damning the walls
Damn the division
Wondering why it had to be me
Well, it cold have been you
It could have been me
Well, it only took a moment
For the cages to explode
I say it must be released
From corruption of the soul, but oh
Have you heard the latest cry?
Yeah, we've heard it all before
A weapon falls from the sky
Yeah we've seen it all before
Buildings live and people die
War weary world
It's the song of quiet courage
From the children of the night
That learned the price of freedom
They've learned to live to fight
Have you heard the reasons why?
Yeah we've heard it all before
But have you seen the nation cry?
Yeah we've seen it all before
Many times, many times
War weary world
War weary world
Love breaks a man
Sends him ruin
Love rebuilds him
Brings him ruin
It's a time of strange teaching
Hear the moanings of regret
From the schools of revolution
The stages have been set
Oh, but listen
It seems wars are meant to happen
And pain is meant to be
But if hope is eternal
Then a hiding place for you and me
Have you heard the latest cry?
Yeah we've heard it all before
A weapon falls from the sky
Yeah we've seen it all before
Buildings live and people die
War weary world
To the desperate young, turn a blind eye
To the old and lonely, turn a blind eye
To our inhumanity
To our death dealing vanity
To the methods of persuasion, turn a blind eye
To the masters of evasion, turn
To the science of control, turn a blind eye
To a world in chains, turn turn
To the sellers of illusion, turn a blind eye
To masters of confusion, turn a blind eye
To a hollow culture
To the circling vulture
To lovers of power, turn a blind eye
And to a final hour, turn a blind eye
To the resurrection
To a world in chains, turn turn
I don't want to get involved
It's not my problem
I'll just ignore it
I don't want to feel this
To the starving children, turn a blind eye
To your own redemption, turn
To the horror of extinction
you say that your heart is out of line
and all you need
is some time
I'm trying to count
but the days won't die
oh how I wish that you would call
oh how I long to be with you
oh how I need to hear you say
"all I want is you"
can you hear me
I waiting for your call
I'm lying on the floor
that's all
don't make me fall
can you see me
I'm drowning in my love
I'm gonna have to let it out
don't make me fall
I'm sick of your lies
they are coming out of my ears
you're running out of time with me
oh how I wish that you would call
oh how I long to be with you
oh how I need to hear you say
that our love is true
can you hear me
I waiting for your call
I'm lying on the floor
that's all
why can't you call
can you see me
I'm drowning in my love
I'm gonna have to let it out
[Darien Brockington]
I tried and tried my best to keep you waiting
But curiosity has got my heart for sure
And if by chance, this is a chance we're taking
I really wish that you would let me know and
Call... call...
Call... (all you do is)
Call... call... call on me
I tried and tried my best to go without you
But this is something I know we both want to see
Loneliness kills me, lady forgive me
And I know we can form, why won't you talk to me?
Call... call... (why don't you call?)
Call... (call me...)
Call... call... call on me
[Phonte]
Yeah, I know I don't stop to show it
But this is real and you got to know it
Got my deck locked and loaded with some Stevie and some Hathaway
On a Friday night that made for a Saturday
Real lonely, it's still only one
That make me quiver when her hands feel on me
This type of thing we need to speak about
We can take our love either route, I'm just reaching out
I'm just reaching out, hear me now
[Darien Brockington]
Won't you call me? Call...
Won't you call me? Call...
Won't you call me? Call...
Call... call... call on me
You may find a better way
you may find the reason for it all
say you walked on holy ground
say you heard the sweetest sound of all
but you find that you never really cared
you find out that you have no love to share at all
So you challenge everyone you meet
crying out to fill a void in you
what are you running from my love
whats this thing you're guilty of
follow me and never feel accused
But you never do believe a word I say
and you never did believe there'd be day of reckoning
So you run and you run and you run
and you never stop
and you work and you work
until you drop
you're in over your head and the pressure just don't quit
but you can't escape the reach of love
Faces haunt you in your dreams
struggles of the broken heart I fear
waking from a fitful sleep
dutifully appointments keep
try to hold this image of respect
so someone tells you when and where to go
but all the time you never really show your feelings
So you run and you run and you run
and you never stop
and you work and you work
and you work until you drop
you're in over your head and the pressure just don't quit
but you can't escape the reach of love
The reach of love
ooh of love
You may find a better way
you might find the reason for it all
you may hold a better hand
all your pride and understanding
never really feeling love at all
but what you thought were distant worlds apart
pulls you in and wraps around your heart forever
so you run and and you run and you run
and you never stop
and you work and you work and you work
until you drop
you're in over your head but the pressure just wont quit
but you can't escape the reach of love
so you run and you run and you run
and you never stop
and you work and you work and you work
until you drop
You're in over your head and the pressure just don't stop
so you push and you push and you push
until you drop
oh, you run
Chased, chased
Out into the woods
Footsteps close behind my back
I never knew how close I stood
Shame has brought me to my knees
Love protects the heart
It is just as you please
Fights, fights
Up and down each shore
We may be outnumbered here
The lions start to roar
Cry, cry for all to hear
Cry, the world goes on
Would you lend me your ear for a moment
I still care even now
Chased, chased
By the angry mob
Trying to steal my heart from me
Steal from me my love for God
Watch as stars fall from the sky
Wait until the oceans dry up
But even then
I still feel loved
Even so, I feel cared for
Even now
So look in my eyes again
Do you recognize my face
One of despair again
Is it gone without a trace
I feel IÕm alive again
Rescued from the void
Here IÕm alone with you
Here IÕm at home with you
Even now
Look, look
theyÕre running close behind
Those you thought your enemies
Are friends now standing
by your side
Fight for every step you take
Shaped by every lie youÕve ever heard
Pain, pain
The pain IÕve been forced to see
Blame, the blame belongs
to no lone but me
But oh, I still care
Even so, I still feel loved
One, two
One, two, three
We were shaking in our beds that night
There were strangers in the streets that night
Preacher cried out hells been raised
The preacher cried out hells been raised
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another hot Oklahoma night
The kind of night where you just sit still
The kind of night where you just don't move
We were shaking in our beds that night
We were shaking in our boots that night
Tornado hit and the roof gave way
Tornado hit and all we could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How an I to face what I cannot hide
We were looking in our hearts that day
There was movement in our hearts that day
They were talking but we could not hear
They were talking but we could not hear
Fever broke and the dead's raised up
Ground broke open and the dead were raised
The kind of night where you just sit spooked
In a hard life is, in a hard life in
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were hugging in our beds that night
Storm hit and the roof gave way
When a man say it ain't easy
And he swore duty, body and soul
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How am I to face what I cannot hide
One, two, three
Momma said you know she ain't strong
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were praying in our hearts that day
We were praying but we could not feel
We were praying but we could not feel
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another Oklahoma night
Fools part as the day breaks wide
Heaven's doors were opened wide
I quit, so I said give up
Said I can't stop the lights not gone
When a heart rips me open and all I could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to face what I cannot hide
I was dead set against it
Ever going this far
IÕ m not that ambitious
Going this far
But you heard my thoughts
You heard my saddest
words
I have been caught
I figured I never would,
never would
You have been told
You have been notified
You have been loved
You have been notified
Strength lies in weakness
When the heart volunteers
To drop all defenses
Am I making it clear
You heard my thoughts
You heard my saddest
words
I came apart
I thought I never would,
never would
You have been told
You have been notified
You have been loved
You have been notified
The branch that has
fallen
Wingless birds strike the
ground
Hear the desperate calling
With a deafening round
You heard my thoughts
You heard my saddest
words
I came apart
I figured I never would,
never could
You have been told
You have been notified
You have been loved
Modern Romans, false gods
Colonial maneuvers, the writings on the wall
Maybe a solution working on a clue
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
Modern Romans, lies on parade
Instruction to the masses, protect us they say
Looking for answers, working it through
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
Your judgment is demanding, you push beyond the need
World domination, runaway greed
Maybe, just maybe, maybe its true
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
Tired of your judgments, your demands
Forgiveness is beyond you, you will never understand
You love the nightlife, stepping with crowd
Do you know desperation, have you ever cried out loud
Total repetition
Total repetition
Total repetition
Modern Romans, false gods
Colonial maneuvers, pagan sword
Maybe there's an answer, looking for a clue
When I was quite young
I had learned to fear
I was taought to listen
But not to hear
From my mother's arms
I was cruelly torn
And they whipped my ass
On the day I was born
Little brother died
At the age of five
They said, "He lost his soul, he was not
baptized"
But the river flows
And the heavens cry
And we'll all be drowned
In the river, In the river
In the river, In the river
I remember my sister
On her saddest day
When the boy she loved
Had been called away
Seems he gave his life
In a foreign land
Still my sister cries
She never understands
Now the world is hard
And the cowards lie
And the fool loves war
And the gentle die
But the river flows
And the heavens cry
And we'll all be drowned
In the river, In the river
In the river, In the river
Well, we built a dam
When the first rains fell
We built it high
And we built it well
But the waters rose
Like a beast from hell
Now my house is gone
And the town as well
So we gather here
For a silent prayer
For the lives we lost
And the love we shared
Still the river flows
And the heavens cry
And we'll all be found
In the river, In the river
You doubt if there's a heaven
You doubt if there's a hell
You doubt if you'll remember
All the stories they would tell
It's a terrible feeling
Living and dealing with doubt
You've doubted your existence
You doubt if there's a truth
Your plan starts to crumble
But you cannot stand to lose
You're back where you started from
covering yourself in doubt
You doubted your mother
And you doubted your dad
You doubted your sisters
And any brothers you had
It's a bad situation
Living and loving with doubt
Well, you doubted the beginning
And I'm sure you doubt the end
You doubted your teachers
You doubt all your friends
It's an overwhelming sensation
Confrontation with doubt
I don't know why I started
I don't know if I'll finish
I wonder why I try at all
Sometimes I wonder why I try at all
Doubt can make a strong man
Weaken under stress
And doubt can make a weak man
totally worthless
God, it's a pity
Doubt
You stage your finale
With meticulous care
your view is consistent
And then out of nowhere
Your vision is clouded
