It's been far too long, we've known all along
This was going on, can't seem to respond to anything, so, we carry on
With our lives, we rewind, we can't find, we deny
The simple fact that we haven't done anything
Doesn't mean that we can't start offering
Why do we feel so far? It's like we're seeing stars
Why does it seem so hard to wake up now and see who we really are?
So, let go
Don't follow
Where do we go from here?
How did it disappear?
It's hard to see with our own eyes
These times (these lies)
We've been hypnotized
I think it's time we try to open up our eyes
Look away from the very thing that's made us cry
We're hypnotized, and you'll see the real me
Luckily, it can't be stopped
If the tick-tock of life isn't all that you got
So, come ready or not
Wake up, it's your last shot
So, come to
And redo
Wake up now, wake up now
So, wake up now, wake up now
So, wake up now
It's been far too long
How can we not go wrong?
Now, it's been far too long
I can see you stepping to me just by the look in your eyes
You think that I can't be who I am if I don't live out your life
But that's alright
'Cause I know who I am underneath it all
And I'm gonna be who I am through it all
I can see you talking to me, but I can't hear what you say
And all the words coming outta your mouth have got me moving away
But that's okay
But I won't walk away from the Place that I need to stay
I don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna be like me
I wanna be like I Am
I don't ever want to have to see you go
'Cause I don't ever want to have to be alone
Little did I know I wasn't on my own
This is the only way I've found for me to show
Exactly how I feel as you go
I will never say never say die
Forever and ever I'll try
Got to get it right
Just between you and I
This could be the last goodbye
And I know that I will never ever find
Another one of a kind a love redefined
Hold on tight to the one that lights your eyes
Cause every single day we're running out of time
So I have got to find a way to show you how I feel
Got to get it right could this be
There seems to be something going on inside of you
Maybe what you need is just another point of view
But not from me, that€™s not for me to do
So, step back, relax, take a second, look inside of you
And you can see an image of yourself you never saw before
Despite all the trauma you€™ve felt
If one way or another, we all are bright stars
It€™s just a simple way to find out who we really are
Why do we let it out of control? Has all this taken a toll?
I don€™t know if we can take anymore
We€™ve got to stop and take a look in the mirror before
Step back, take a look inside yourself
From the outside, you can see someone else staring back at you
It€™s your reflection
Why do you feel so empty every time you€™ve had enough?
Well, maybe you don€™t realize with what you€™ve been filling up
It€™s plain to see that eventually you will see
The Jekyll and Hyde game in your mind is just a simile
Before your perception has started to get a little numb
And your perfection isn€™t helping anyone
Your reflection is the only way for you to see
For your protection, you need to see reality
Listen up here's another lesson
Chapter 2 of this saga
Sparks yet another question
Are you doing just enough to get by
To try and fool 'em into thinking
That you live the right life
Or maybe thinking since you can't see Him
He can't see you
That's understandable 'cause
Then I used to feel it too
But we're responsible for every action
And like Newton there's an equal reaction
You're afraid of what it takes to give it all away
Doing enough just to get by, just to get by
Thinking that you live the right life
It's so ridiculous to think you all just hearin' us
If you believe it let it known y'all be feelin' us
Not just the sound but the Trinity in whom we trust
It's already known who in the end will be victorious
And like KJ it's a 12-round knockout
I'll fight to the end and I'll be the one to walk out
Step out holdin' up the crown like a title belt
It's one bout the devil wish he never dealt
It's all mixed up in your head about
What's wrong and what is right
I wanna be a transparency live my life so that you can see Elohim
No longer see a little boy in his teens getting by tryin' to fit in like an OG
But looking back it doesn't make any sense to me how I could be 19 yet so naive
I never really thought about eternity I just did at the time what felt good to me
Yesterday are just memories in my head
He paid the way and delivered me of my debt
My hindsight's 20/20 now so it's said
Can you believe it
After the day that I graduated that's when it set in being faded and inebriated
Dealing with the pains of my mom and dad's divorce
But that was '81 now I'm showing no remorse
And all those people that I used to know then
I've changed my ways and I just live for Him
At 4:20 every day you wanted me to blaze with you
But at the same time every day I'm just gonna pray for you
I changed my ways I'm never goin' back again
It's been far too long, we've known all along
This was going on, can't seem to respond to anything, so, we carry on
With our lives, we rewind, we can't find, we deny
The simple fact that we haven't done anything
Doesn't mean that we can't start offering
Why do we feel so far? It's like we're seeing stars
Why does it seem so hard to wake up now and see who we really are?
So, let go
Don't follow
Where do we go from here?
How did it disappear?
It's hard to see with our own eyes
These times (these lies)
We've been hypnotized
I think it's time we try to open up our eyes
Look away from the very thing that's made us cry
We're hypnotized, and you'll see the real me
Luckily, it can't be stopped
If the tick-tock of life isn't all that you got
So, come ready or not
Wake up, it's your last shot
So, come to
And redo
Wake up now, wake up now
So, wake up now, wake up now
So, wake up now
It's been far too long
How can we not go wrong?
Now, it's been far too long
Here's a little story I got to tell
about my Father up in heaven who you know so well
But let me start off by settin' the record straight from the years past
lettin' all those people know that used to poke fun and used to laugh
There's only one reason why we do what we do
That's to serve our God. let His love shine through
We're here to be bold, do what we're told, of Him we are a mold
If it's His will keep rockin' til we're 01 years old
Not once throughout my years will I ever not be the same
I never fell into the trap of the whole east coast west coast thing
'Cause we're all under the reign of one King it's time we realize
One thing Jah people all around the world it's time we all sing
A song of unity cause that's the way it should be
It's time we come together so we can let the world see
From the beaches of Cali to the wheatlands of the plains
His love is yesterday today, forever the same
Captains Log star date 2003
A Range Rover hovercraft in high pursuit of me
They're all blacked out with chrome rims and tinted windows
Sending me death threats with murderous innuendoes
Chase this space renegade with pins and mics
Burshin off stardust from galaxies and nebulae
La vida loca translates to livin' the rap life
And a wrong turn and a runaway truck can jacknife
Pay attention to the road as God watches and He files it
Or get grounded like imported coffee or bad pilots
I used to think I knew a lot so on goes the story
I couldn't see decepticons on the move to transforming
I found the world boring wasted time in my exploring
Dug deeper in excavating into the glory to glory
Writing the Lordship committed to one on one
Solar powered and energetic while running off the Sun
Big God third rock He created all that
Knowdaverbs and Pillar we bound to bless tracks
So step back out the way and watch the Lord move
It's pressure the pleasures measure
The pressure is overbearing
Is it me myself that's caring
For every double-minded joy
And I admit that when I submit to you
I feel so unreal when I'm still
When I'm waiting for you to reveal
And from myself I seem so far away
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do
Chorus
I'm further, further from myself
When I'm next to you
When I run to you
I was wasted embraced it but faced it
With you inside my heart you replaced it
Can't believe you have erased it
Selfishness and foolish pride
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do
Further from my future
Further from the past
Further from the starting line
Further from the last
Further from my doubts
Further from my fears
Further from temptation that I faced throughout my years
Further from agitation
Further from distraction
The reaction of the dissatisfaction of others actions
Further from myself
Further from my flesh
Further from my birth and I'm
Further from my death
It's plain to see that all you care about are the pockets that you fill
But you don't want to hear me talk about the reasons that we're here
I don't know if I can go without even if you lock me down
I don't care how much you scream and shout
I'll never be part of the crowd
And I will make a sound, I will let my voice resound
I can't let my spirit break, we're bout to make the earth shake
So, break all these chains that keep me bound
And break through these gates that lock me down
I can't even feel a little pain
No matter what you do to me, you will never hear my heart complain
You are afraid to say it's true reality escapes you
Time after time you try to prove to yourself you're right
But your ways are not the way how long do you have to play
This game before you see I'm right it's not just a game it's a fight
You're afraid to hold out your hand don't be afraid to take a stand
It's a shame to be ashamed
To be ashamed of the One that we should glorify
You are afraid of the price you'll pay will you be strong or walk away
You're reasons are runnin' thin all that's left to do is give in
Inside this generation of sin there's only one place to begin
And it's at the starting line or you will be left behind
You say it's hard to believe in something you can't see
A choice you make today will affect you eternally
Now I'm here to stay
And I've made a change
And I won't go away
Instrumental
Reckless youth!
Don't let emotion stop you
Don't start to hesitate
Don't let the fear you have
Inside you start to resonate
Stop buying lies they sell you
Stop wasting all our time
Start looking for the
Opportunity for us to shine
If you're afraid to fall
You'll never make the climb
We are the fearless ones
We are the loaded guns
With nothing left to lose
We are the reckless youth
We are the chosen ones
We'll never have to run
There's nothing left to lose
We are the reckless youth
Let your fear motivate you
Don't let it get you down
You've got to get up
Hold your head up high
It may be the only chance we've got
For us to save the day
No time to doubt it now
Before it gets too late
We've got to make our move
'Cause we're the reckless youth
Stop wasting our time
Let's step to the line
Like soldiers we fight
To the end of our lives
Let's break the rules
But don't play the fool
As simple minded as it seems
There is only one place for me to be
And it's right here on my knees
Seeking Your face
Your embrace
Something that I've never felt before
Never felt before
I make it so hard to believe
That there is someone out there
Reaching out their hand to
Help me to my feet
I've seen too much
Forgot Your touch
Now I'm holding the hand
That holds the world
That holds the world
When I fade away
When I see Your face
I can feel You
And I fade away from myself
When I see Your face
I can feel You
And I start to fade
I'm still reminded of the days
When I turned my back on You
And told You we should go our
Separate ways
Well, I was wrong
For far too long
But now I've learned to
Never walk away
Never walk away
You've shown me life through
Different eyes
But I'll never see the things You see
No matter how hard that I try
So I let go
And lose control
And grab a hold of the hand
That holds the world
That holds the world
When I fade away from where I wanna be
I'd rather take a shot in the chest
Than take a shot in the back
At least I'll see it coming and I'll know where I'm standing at
To get shot down by your own such a crying shame
So watch your back no matter what side you take
You got me caught up in a crossfire
I'm caught in a crossfire
Feels like a suicide the heats closing in on me
When its down to the wire your life on the line
Will you save me from this
Chaos surrounding me
You call yourself a soldier but you've never put your toe to the line
Cause when the banner flies you're too afraid to ride
You hang me out to dry you never rendezvous
Eyes in the back my head they'll be watching you
I would take death before I deny you
I would cheat death just to stand by you
I would fear death if I couldn't see you
I would take death before I deny you
Sometimes, our minds can make us believe and teach us to see
That there's nothing there, we fool ourselves knowing we're wrong
When we follow along
We've misunderstood what we meant for good
There is one thing you've been meaning
To talk about but don't know what to say
And that one thing that you're feeling
Chances are that someone feels the same way
As the one thing you've been meaning
To bury and then hope it goes away
And that one thing that you're feeling
Doesn't mean you have to go away
I don't know if you realize that you're not alone
Can you let me know?
But there is someone out there for you that is going through the same as you
Why can't we see that there's nothing that we'll have to face?
Or something will happen, where we can't turn back
You can't bring me down, you can't bring me down
Back in the day when nothing really mattered to me
I only saw with my eyes what they wanted to see
And everything around me seemed to never change
Looking for an easy way out, someone to blame
Why does it work this way, still today?
You wanna take somebody down along the way?
But I won't let that one be me, 'cause I don't want the drama it brings
See, today isn't "back in the day" anymore
I know a little more than I did before
So, don't forget before you try bringing me down
What goes around always comes back around
You can't bring me down
Do you hear what I'm trying to say?
You can't bring me down
I'll never turn the other way
You can't bring me down
What is it you're trying to say?
You can't bring me down
It's not like I'm running away
So, you think you can see inside my mind?
You probably could if you just took a little time
I know exactly what you're trying to say
But sitting in the stands ain't the same as playing the game
So, I can't comprehend in my mind
Just why we can't leave it all behind
So, come on and stand beside, and hold the line
'Cause tonight is the night we cry
Why can't we feel what it takes for us to be real?
Why can't we see what it takes for us to believe?
Why do we say all of these things that bring us down?
For all those people I've met
Thinkin' I live my life in regret for all those choices I've made
I have the utmost respect for my Lord
He's given me
The ultimate reward
of life in heaven when I'm gone from here
I'll get goin when my Lord appears
So take time realize just one thing
To give it up cause He's your one KING
Everything to my God above
He's my one and only true love
Everything to my God above
He's my one and only true love
Everything I've dreamed of
Keeps me going through my day
And through my night and
Through my week
He's everything I'd ever want
Everything to my God above
He's my one and only true love
Here I go again I get myself a paper and pen
Sit down start to pray and I write about my life of sin
All those years when I didn't know Him
Well now I do and His love is showin'
Everything He's ever done everything He'll ever do
Take Him inside He'll do the same thing for you
I know you think you can talk the talk
Let me see you do it now
Let me see you walk the walk
Next time I try
To cross your mind
Remind me to look both ways
So I don't get hit by your lies
You lacerate me with all of
These memories
And now I wear these scars out on my sleeve
These broken hearts
Are left with scars
Because of your lies
And all this time
It feels like I'm
Chasing shadows at midnight
The days fade
And stars come out at night
And when the sun goes down
I know exactly what I'll find
Some things in this life
Will never change
We both have apologies to exchange
These broken hearts
Are left with scars
Because of your lies
And all this time
It feels like I'm
Chasing shadows at midnight
How could I let myself
Fall into your lies
I only trusted you
With all of my life
Now I am stuck here
I'm trapped under ice
The only way out
The sunshine of a new day
Shines upon my face
I don't know where to begin
I don't know how it came to this
If things don't change maybe I'll
Be the one that you can't find
I've tried so many times
Tried to get it right
Just so our worlds won't
Collide like two stars in the sky
Its time we both decide
To leave this all behind
When the sun goes down
The future's looking bright
When all is said and done
And tomorrow has begun
Remember today is now yesterday
Can we find a way find a way to let it go
When tomorrow comes
Today will be a brand new day
Can we let it go
The sunshine of a new day
Shines upon my face
Reminding me of mistakes
Memories I must erase
Here's one more chance for me
To throw them all away
Today's a brand new start
We made this way too hard
We both need something like
Amnesia of the heart
We stand here face to face
See I won't look away
If you just hold my hand
We'll make it through the day
When all is said and done
And tomorrow has begun
Remember today is now yesterday
Can we find a way find a way to let it go
When tomorrow comes
Today will be a brand new day
All of this is changing
None of this seems real
I just keep on waiting
To see if I can feel
Something like an angel watching over me
Maybe that's exactly what's in front of me
'Cause I'm better off now
Since you came around
You've gone and shown me
Everything I needed just to see that I am
Better off now
Since you came around
All I had to do is see what I could be
So I could know I'm
Better off now
I've wasted so much time now
Just to try and find
The answer to the question
I've tried so hard to hide
I never knew emotions
Could ever run this high
I was so far down
I lost the will to try
'Cause I'm better off now
Since you came around
You've gone and shown me
Everything I needed just to see that I am
Better off now
Since you came around
All I had to do is see what I could be
So I could know I'm
Better off now
Day after day
I threw it all away
I'm never turning back
That way again
'Cause I'm better off now
Since you came around
You've gone and shown me
Everything I needed just to see that I am
Better off now
Since you came around
All I had to do is see what I could be
So I could know I'm
Beautiful, Incredible
How can i describe You?
Wonderful and powerful,
Lord I desire You.
Everything I need in life,
You cut the pain, you take away my strife.
What can I do to thank You Lord. You are Everything to me, everything to me
You are afraid to say it's true reality escapes you
Time after time you try to prove to yourself you're right
But your ways are not the way how long do you have to play
This game before you see I'm right it's not just a game it's a fight
You're afraid to hold out your hand don't be afraid to take a stand
Chorus
It's a shame to be ashamed
To be ashamed of the One that we should glorify
You are afraid of the price you'll pay will you be strong or walk away
You're reasons are runnin' thin all that's left to do is give in
Inside this generation of sin there's only one place to begin
And it's at the starting line or you will be left behind
You say it's hard to believe in something you can't see
A choice you make today will affect you eternally
Now I'm here to stay
And I've made a change
And I won't go away
It seems just like yesterday was the first time that I heard You call my name
Since then, so much has changed
I'm still the same man that I was before
Knowing that I can be without anything scares me away from being alone
Now, that I know what's going on
I can look back and see You
And I made You wait, as I turned away
If I could rewind, watch all my life
Just pass me by, I could see You
If I could rewind, I'd take back the lies
And all of those times I hurt You
I don't know if I'll ever know exactly how much that I hurt You
Knowing that hurts me everyday
If I could rewind, I would take it away
And not make You wait, and I won't walk away
I wanna take back all those lies
I wanna take back all those times
Your life is like a castle built upon the sand
All the work is done but it will not stand
Your life is like a picture without any paint
It's left you feeling blank and a little incomplete
From the answers that you seek
All the questions that you have all lie in Him
He is the way the truth and the life
He's my road to take me home
He is the way the truth and the life
He's my father and my friend
Life is overwhelming when you start to doubt
Have faith He is with you here and now
Many questions you have asked along your way
Like who I am where I came from where will I go
When I leave here from this world
What would it take to make you see me
The way that I see you?
And what would it take to make you want me
The way I've always wanted you?
I don't know why You're in everything I see
And I can't deny that You're everything I need
So I reach in
Whatever it takes to get to You
Whatever it takes to break through
Whatever it takes You are my reason
For everything I do
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes to
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
What would it take to make you fall for me
The way I fell for You?
And what would it take to make You fight for me
The way I've always fought for You
And I don't know why You bring me to my knees
But I can't unwind from how You twisted me
But I reach in
Whatever it takes to get to You
Whatever it takes to break through
Whatever it takes You are my reason
For everything I do
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes to
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
To get to You, to get to You
To get to You
Whatever it takes to get to You
Whatever it takes to break through
Whatever it takes You are my reason
For everything I do, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes to
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Verse 1:
Tell me when it's over, never thought we'd be here
Moments passing by, I'm losing you
So much that I never knew
Couldn't bring it out of you
Caught up in the history
And won't let you go, go
Chorus:
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will you be there, will you be there
And if I fade away tomorrow
Will you be there, or will you stay here
Verse 2:
Tell me it's not over, I can't see it anymore
All the love is passing by, I'm losing you
Of all the things I ever said
Never met so much regret
Hard to see the future
When the past is in the way, can we find a way
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
There is just one thing about you
It's I just can't live without you
So I'll just keep holding on
There is just one thing about you
It's I just can't live without you
So I'll just keep holding on
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will you be there, will you be there
I hear a voice in the autumn breeze
Telling me that I need to leave
But I can't fly with these broken wings
The leaves they move like poetry
Its all still such a mystery
But I can finally hear the melody
I've been here for so long
I think its time I moved on
So tell me where it is that I need to be
Where ever the wind blows
You will find me there
Standing exactly where I wanna be
Wasting time here is killing me
Waiting here for the remedy
So I can hear the sound of angels sing
I need something to carry me
To a place that I've never seen
'Cause right here I've seen all there is to see
I've been here for so long
I think its time I moved on
So tell me where it is that I need to be
Where ever the wind blows
You will find me there
Standing exactly where I wanna be
I've been waiting, waiting for the day
So can you carry me away
You elevate me
How far can you take me carry me away
Where ever the wind blows
You will find me there
Say it ain't so Joe here we go so
Writing words that'll flow Drop another verse til I'm old
Hit 'em with a fat groove make em jump back
Ain't givin' in cause we cut em no slack
'Cause the reason that we're here
is to open up your ears
make you face all your fears through the years
Gonna let you know what we're all about
Gonna make you jump up
gonna make you scream and shout
But not yet cause it's not time
So let me finish up this little rhyme
Cool, funk flow here we go step aside
'Cause we got something to do here tonight
We've spent a lot of time not knowing what we're missing
Picking up the pieces of a broken heart wishing
That we could be moving on up
To the best side that's the heavens in the sky
I just wanna go
Jah will take me home
I just want to show
This love that you should know
Just waking up to a new day
Got to step to the mirror cause I want to look the right way
Step back to the Word, see what it has to say
Before I face another day
Ephesians 6:10-20 talks about putting on armor
you got to wear it daily cause the devil he will harm you
So everybody take it to another level
Get 'em up and stomp the devil
Bringing it back to the way that love is supposed to be
We give you this song so you can clearly see
That your problems can be solved if you put your trust in Him
His ocean of love can take away your sin
So listen up Jah people if you wanna take the ride
You gotta feel the love you gotta catch the vibe
A love that's never changing is what we came here to show
Another time and a place
Another slap in the face
And I don't know what it takes
To be loved by you
Another shot in the dark
And now it's falling apart
But I won't let my heart
Be broken by you
I feel for you
You can try to break me down and then
Like a phoenix I will rise again
I always do
I ALWAYS DO!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (You are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Another simple mistake
It's Causing hearts to break
And stirring up a wake
That was left by you
I don't think I can wait
Because I'm setting the pace
I'm going to finish the race
'Cause I started to
I always do
You can try to take the rest of me
But you'll never get the best of me
I won't let go
I WON'T LET GO!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (You are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Until that final day
I won't walk away
You're not the end of me
Won't get the best of me
YOU ARE NOT THE END!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (You are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I can only imagine
All of the magic that would happen
If we all come together
I could sing of your love forever
Tell me I'm never alone
And that I'm going home
I can hear sounds of melodies
And the remedy
That comes when you
Lift me up
From the flood in the sea of faces
And I promise you we'll make it
'Cause In the healing rain
There is beauty from pain
But the scars remain
I will find a way
To take my life and
And give it all away
And I'll be pressing on
Feel this phenomenon
Turn it up
Throw your hands in the air
All the people everywhere
Let me hear you say
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
Yeah, Yeah
Turn it up
Let the stereos play
All the people everywhere
Let me hear you say
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh
Yeah, Yeah
I'm learning to breathe again
Maybe we'll meet again
I hear whispers in the dark
Even the snakes have hearts
So we break free
Won't you breathe into me
I'm drawing a black line
Define the great line
Maybe I just feel so alive
It's a super good feeling
So I'll keep waiting
Will your momentum change
Take a typical day
That you gotta engage
Don't wait for your heart to cave in
Give the freaks something to believe in
It's about a burning fire
If you like it turn it up let me hear you shout
If you want it turn it up gotta live it loud
If you like it turn it up let me hear you shout
I look around and see
All of these different places
And I can't help but think
All of these different faces
Have made the same mistake
And got up and walked away
You'll never here me say
Its time to walk away
Why am I so afraid when I've got nothing to fear?
How did it dissipate? How did it all disappear?
When I anticipate this time I won't shed a tear
I let it resonate for everybody to hear
Somebody tell how to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy is staring back at me
Somebody tell me how to save me from myself
Cause every time that I try it's such a tragedy
If I'm the opposition
Why can't I just back down
So full of ammunition
That tries to shoot me down
In all this repetition
That's going round and round
Submit to my submission
Before I get shot down
Cause all I see is somebody else that's watching at me
It's the enemy
It's time to rock it's time to play so jump around if you feel the same way.
We're gonna hit you with a new style so listen up cause we're gonna be here awhile.
So take time to give us a chance and take your time for sing and
dance. Take a break from the norm we've done for so long let's praise Jesus Christ with a new kind of song.
It's a time of celebration, for every boy and every girl He's a God of revelation for everyone around the world.
It's time to rock, it's time to play so throw your hands up if you feel the same way.
Let the sound of the song penetrate your head and take a moment to realize Jesus Christ has bled for you and me on a cross on top of Calvary.
He gave His life for me, He set His people free.
Knowin He has done this now for so long let's praise Jesus Christ with a new kinda song.
It's a time of celebration, for every boy and every girl.
Light It Up
Training day is over
It's been laid on the line
I'll give this all I've got
And I'll find my time to shine
I will settle for no less
Than the best I've got to give
Only the strong survive
When they try to take you down
Toe to toe and pound for pound
It's time to step up it's time to throw it down
There's nothing you say that could ever fade me
Serving up another lesson learned
Light it up and let the fire burn
There's nothing you say that could ever change me
Toe to toe and pound for pound
Step right up its time to throw down
The cage awaits this moment
The tension pushes through
The stage is set to showdown
I'm not turning my back on you
Face to face with the enemy
Giving in to you I refuse
Somebody's gotta win
And I don't know how to lose
Six o'clock on Friday
You thought you heard a little voice try to say
Time is running out
So why you looking out
For yourself
Later on that Sunday
You're looking for a little bit of leeway
You say I'll give it a try but
I don't got the time for you now
I tried to figure you out
I tried to figure you out
There's just no telling why
Why you wanna run away?
I think maybe you should stay right here
And maybe you'll appreciate
All that He's done for you
Everything He has for you
It's all you wanted
Nine a.m. on Monday
You hear a little voice again try to say
What's it gonna take
How am I gonna break you down
You say it was bad day
Maybe it was just a bad mistake
Don't give up and quit
Make the best of it
Right now
Pack a bag go let the world know how you feel about it
Hit the party let the people scream and shout about it
No doubt about it no reason for you to pout about it
If you don't get it then you probably live your life without it.
So get it it and take a second just to think it through
It's not a secret you're on schedule for a rendezvous
But who knew the 'Who's Who of Voodoo'
Would be you the day you get your verdict asking for a redo
Get up, Get up we never get down
We be seekin' freaks out from the underground
Stay up, Stay up we never let down
We keep it rockin' 'til you all come around
Ready or not here we come, come to seek you out
Cause you can only hide for so long in the underground
Until you're found and you scream aloud in the crowd
That you're down and you're never turning back around
So shut down the ways we'll call the days of old
And get down with the freaks that are livin' bold
Stay up we livin' life fortississimo
KJ we get the freaks gotta let 'em know
Now excuse me
Now what I speak is for my freaks and when I come forth
And I get down like I'm jumpin' off the eighth floor
What's the dealy for realy what you ashamed for
You're the reason that He came for and His blood poured
So behold He stands at the door and just knocks
But you be standin' at the door with the door locked
So it's a sure shot that in the whole spot and whole
We used to think that our ignorance is bliss
But we can't keep on thinking
That this moment doesn't exist
There's people fighting and fighting and fighting
For all that they own
It seems we twisted reality again
Looking for the opportunity for us to dig in
We're getting deeper and deeper and deeper
Into the unknown
(We've got to open up our eyes)
How long will we close our eyes to the youth?
How long until we recognize the truth?
How far will we let this go?
It's a state of emergency
It's time we see
There's a need to take action
This is a state of emergency
We're too blind to see
All of these simple distractions
All our attention is directed to the mirror
We want to forget that people live in terror
We're their only way out and the time is right now
We gotta grab a hold of this moment
How far do we let it go
Before we all take control
We are the hands
We are the feet
So we gotta go
Stop waiting for someone else
To take control
(Take back the control)
Well, I can't stop thinking about it
I don't like living without it
So please don't take, take, take it away
So find another way
Things get so complicated
Frustration's overrated
Somebody please take, take, take it away
There's got to be a better way
For us to find our way around
But for now, we'll just have to say
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I don't know why
And I don't know if I can find a way around
To work it out
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I don't know why
And I don't know if I can find a way around
To work it out tonight
All of these weak reactions
All start with stupid actions
Somebody please take, take, take it away
So find another way
So long I've concentrated
Emotions overstated
So please don't take, take, take it away
There's got to be a better way
For us, for us to find our way around
But for now, we'll just have to say
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I don't know why
And I don't know if I can find a way around
To work it out
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I don't know why
And I don't know if I can find a way around
To work it out
Things can get so complicated, I'm frustrated
There's confusion in my head
Things can get so complicated, I'm frustrated
There's confusion in my head
It's times like these I need to stop and think
Make all of me start to fit the missing link
Down on my knees, it's my mind that's leaving me
God help me please to make sense
To make sense of all this
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I don't know why
And I don't know if I can find a way around
To work it out tonight
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I don't know why
And I don't know if I can find a way around
Hello how are you?
You know my name but you don't know who I am
You may think you do
But I try to cover up the best I can
See I wanna sing, but I just don't think you'll understand
Here it goes- I guess it's time for me to make my stand
(Chorus)
Never gonna be a secret agent again
Never gonna be undercover in sin
Gonna let it be known whenever I can
Never gonna be a secret agent for him
See you in the crowd,
Seen you here before, are you like me?
Seen you're face before,
And I've often wondered- do you believe?
I know there's something there from you, from everything I've seen
Are you undercover too? Together You and I we could be free
(chorus)
(Guitar Solo)
I've made it so hard on myself, turning my back on how You felt
Seeing a lie that led me on, leaving a love that did no wrong
That's what it took for me to say
That You simply love
Despite all the stupid things I've done
It's hard to remember
That You simply love
Even though I know not what I've done
It's hard to remember
That You simply love
I've tried to do all this on my own
Not thinking once of what You've shown
All that I've done has blinded me
To everything that You have for me
I want You to know that I finally see
I don't know why I can't understand
Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look and tell what will I find, what will I find?
Lay me on the ground, fly me in the sky
Show me where to look and tell what will I find, what will I find?
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down on me
Love is in the water, love is in the air
Show me where to go and tell me will love be there, love be there?
So teach me how to speak and each me how to share
Show me where to go and tell me will love be there, love be there?
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down on me
Love is in the water, love is in the air
Show me where to go and tell me will love be there, love be there?
And teach me how to speak, teach me how to share
Show me where to go and tell me will love be there, love be there?
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down on me
Whoa, let Your light shine down
Whoa, let Your light shine down
Whoa, let Your light shine down
Give me a couple of minutes maybe one or two
to tell you 'bout the time I'm spendin with my crew
Traveling down the road on the way to the show
Fraff backseat scribin' writing words that'll flow
Bradley beats Kalel boomin' the bass
I'm a vessel of the spirit singin' in this place
We're battle soldiers caught in spiritual warfare
fightin for the souls of the lost in this dark nightmare
Eternal flames and the gnashing of teeth man
the thought of anyone there we just can't stand
Are you believing loving living / receiving his love ever giving
We got this question for you to ask yourself over again
Are you gonna live in sin or are you gonna live for Him
We're gonna let you know we're gonna show you how
If you wanna live for Him you got to do it right now
You see it's written in stone that thou shalt not steal
that's why we're comin up out of our speakers
givin you somethin real. I feel good
and at the same time when we praise God
We make the crowd jump up we make your heads bob
I know you think you're okay
but you've never ever felt this way
I know you think you're okay
but you've never ever felt this way
I know you think you're alright
but you take him inside in spite
I know you think you're alone
I don't know if we'll ever really see the day
When we look around and we don't know what to say
How did we lose our way? I don't know if we'll ever really see a change
If this is how we show our thanks, I think it's time we rearrange
I don't know if we'll ever really break away
We've been holding on for so long now, I think we're scared to run away
I don't know if we ever really learned to pray
So, I drop down to my knees
And I cry out, "Can You help me, please?"
Let it out, can You hear me?
Can You hear me cry?
Let it out, don't hold back, all this I got inside
Let it out, can You hear me?
Can You hear me cry?
Let it out, don't hold back now
We've got to let it out
I don't know if we'll ever really be the same
Or could it be that we feel a sense of shame?
We forgot from where we came
I don't know if we try to make it all a game
I think it's time we take the blame
And get back, rekindle this flame
So, when I cry out, are You listening?
I know You can hear me, I know You can hear me
You're my Comfort, can You hear me?
I know You can hear me, You're my Comfort
There's a hole in my heart that's bleeding
But its given me strength I needed
To carry on
I'm moving on
I'm not giving up that easily
I can see the black cloud breaking
But it doesn't stop the scars from aching
I'm standing strong, it won't be long
Til I see you face to face
I'm not going down that easy
It takes more than that just to break me
I'm not going down without bleeding
I'm not going down, down without a fight
It never mattered what I took for chances
It never mattered where I looked for answers
I'm taking the blame
But its not a game (isn't a game)
I just can't watch you fake it
I'm not going down that easy
It takes more than that just to break me
I'm not going down without bleeding
I'm not going down, down without a fight
I won't go down without a fight
It's just you and me tonight
Face to face and do or die
I'll lay it all out on the line
I won't go down without a fight
It's just you and me tonight
Face to face and do or die
I'll lay it all out on the line
I'm not going down, I'm not going down
I'm not going down without a fight
I'm not going down that easy
It takes more than that just to break me
I'm not going down without bleeding
Can you tell me why
We all run from the hurt inside?
There's no need to cry
Dry your eyes and take a breath
It's life or death
Can you tell me what you're waiting for?
If you lose it all
And it just won't feel the same
In the fight to carry on
You stand and face the rain
And as you watch it fall
You learn to live again
It isn't all that bad
When you're still standing in the end
Give this one more try
Take my hand and let your heart decide
Hold your head up high
Close your eyes and take a breath
It's life or death
Can you tell me what you're waiting for?
If you lose it all
And it just won't feel the same
In the fight to carry on
You stand and face the rain
And as you watch it fall
You learn to live again
It isn't all that bad
When you're still standing in the end
And all the voices cry out
They pull you up tear you down
Then that One voice
Whispers your name again
If you lose it all
And it just won't feel the same
In the fight to carry on
You stand and face the rain
And as you watch it fall
You learn to live again
It isn't all that bad
I'm gonna keep on holding on
Times are changing, rearranging
All the raging over little things has got me all confused
And I don't why, but it seems I caught the big lie
And I'm letting go and reaching out for truth
So, I can't stop now, 'til I find out what it's all about, and somehow
Grab a hold, so no one can take it away
I'll be, I'll be holding on
I see right where I belong
I know everything that's going on around me
Your frustrations, complications, time is wasting
You better figure out whether you're wasting time
It all comes down to I can't make you feel what I do
But I can feel for you, so, what do you got to lose?
I'm gonna keep on holding on, while all of this is going on
I should've seen this all along, but now, I see right where I went wrong
That doesn't mean I can't be strong
So, now, I've got to carry on
It's hard to see that I was gone
That's it that's the last straw
You've tried so many times that I have to declare war
I'm sick of your foolish attack, devil
So step back I'm on a one way track, devil
To take back all the things that you've stolen
No withholdin I'm rollin and with the scriptures unfolding
That your time is near
and wit the power of God I'm gonna persevere
So go ahead and try to turn up the heat
'Cause with my sword drawn you're gonna feel defeat
The seat occupied to the right of my God
Is the reason why I've got my feet shod
The Word of life in the form of three
Is given to me as artillery to sue
To abuse and bruise you
leave you standing in a daze wondering who's who
You chose to be defeated or to be disarmed
Anyway you want it we're gonna bring you harm
In this battle only strong survive I now who's with me
And who's by my side
He's the tower of strength and the pillar
To a hardened heart He's the tiller
No scrilla can entice me to stay off your tail
I'm gonna keep fighting til God prevails
Cause the alarm has been rung
Praise to God has been sung
The victory dance has been done
It's one way
Cheap ticket
Wrong lane
Head on collision
And it's getting late
Time's tickin'
Don't wait for your position
At the red light
There's no stoppin'
Just drop the pedal
Let the speed keep risin'
Get back on your feet
Get back in the fight
Get back in the ring
And get back in the light
Get back in the flames
Get back in the fire
Get back on the stage
You got to get back
A sweat breaks
You're not ready
To face the fury
Of a one-man army
Well it's too late
The heat's coming
No turning back
No time for running
So you get ready
Lace up the gloves
No laying down now
When push comes to shove
(The fight isn't over)
I was a coward
While facing the lions
But now I've got my
Toe to the line
The fight isn't over
The dream is alive
And we'll keep fighting
For the rest of our lives
This fire is burning
Us all up inside
So we'll keep on
It's pressure the pleasures measure
The pressure is overbearing
Is it me myself that's caring
For every double-minded joy
And I admit that when I submit to you
I feel so unreal when I'm still
When I'm waiting for you to reveal
And from myself I seem so far away
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do
I'm further, further from myself
When I'm next to you
When I run to you
I was wasted embraced it but faced it
With you inside my heart you replaced it
Can't believe you have erased it
Selfishness and foolish pride
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do
Further from my future
Further from the past
Further from the starting line
Further from the last
Further from my doubts
Further from my fears
Further from temptation that I faced throughout my years
Further from agitation
Further from distraction
The reaction of the dissatisfaction of others actions
Further from myself
Further from my flesh
Further from my birth and I'm
It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will be the ones that are holding the crown in the end
When it's over we can say, "Well done"
But not yet 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up and follow me we're the only ones
To fight this thing until we've won
We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we might've done wrong
We could've been doing this all along
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the front line
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the front line
And we'll be carrying on until the day
It doesn't matter anymore
Step aside you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the front lines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now I see where the threat lies
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the front line
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the front line
We live our lives on the front lines
We're not afraid of the fast times
We live our lives on the front lines
We're not afraid
We've got to lead the way
We've got to lead the way
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the front line
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
We're on the front line
Everybody with your fists raised high
Stand beside on the front line
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry
Everybody with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside or step aside
Why can't we try and understand?
All these images are out of hand
And in demand by every man that think he's on his own
And all this time, we've been heading nowhere really fast
Never knowing that the past would make us feel alone
But now, that all the cover's blown
You can see how much you've thrown out the door
Don't wait before you try and let this go
You've got this dirty little secret
You're trying hard to keep it
Out of sight, out of mind
But you can't hide
When will you see that the end will come eventually?
But you can't just let it be, you have to take control
And grab ahold of the one thing that you can't let go
Days were so cold
Nights spent alone
Searching for that something
That I've never known
Held captive by the pain
Caught up in all the shame
My heart just won't stop playin these head games
Its like a terminal disease
And now I've found a remedy
You You're keeping
You're keeping me alive
With this fire on the inside
Now I see the sun
The battle wages on
Gotta watch my back this time
So I know where its all coming from
Its like a shadow I can't see
And its sneaking up on me
You You're keeping
You're keeping me alive
You've been wasting time
buying lies
that are sold to you by everybody
find another way
somehow, someday
to be everything you ever wanted
(don't betray yourself)
by not following your original intentions
(be true to yourself)
don't let them hold you down
All out, you run it again
feels like that it's one and the same
don't stop now drink in the pain
'cuz I feel dangerous
don't look back pave the way
don't waste time livin' afraid
don't stop now drink in the pain
'cuz I feel dangerous
you hold back your tears
embrace your fears
as you let it be what motivates you
don't hold your breath
that burns inside you
or you'll make your pain self-inflicted
direct your full attention
did I forget to mention?
live life with no restriction
no one can hold you down
All out, you run it again
feels like that it's one and the same
don't stop now drink in the pain
'cuz I feel dangerous
don't look back pave the way
don't waste time livin' afraid
don't stop now drink in the pain
'cuz I feel dangerous
We've got to take our chances
or we'll never know just how far we can go
grab ahold of what you've been handed
let the record show
the chances that you've blown
All out, you run it again
feels like that it's one and the same
don't stop now drink in the pain
'cuz I feel dangerous
don't look back pave the way
don't waste time livin' afraid
don't stop now drink in the pain
'cuz I feel dangerous
dangerous
Friday morning when she walked out the door
She couldn't take anymore, so she tried to ignore
Her daddy, he wanted to settle the score
For all the little meetings he had had before
All the secrets started taking their toll
Making daddy more bold, but it was bruising her soul
He didn't know that she had already told
Her mother already knows and now the drama unfolds
And she says…
(Chorus)
You're my angel in disguise
You look at me with gentle eyes
You're my angel in disguise
You save me from that one last cry
It's Friday evening and he's at it again
Another hour and then all the pressure begins
Phone keeps ringing so he finally gives in
To hear the voice of his wife asking where have you been?
He tells her I'll be home as soon as I can
So tuck the kids into bed cause time has slipped through my hands
I'm positive she says she loves him again, but it finally sets in
That she's always been…
Chorus X 2
It's Friday morning and she walks through the door
All those thoughts from before
She no longer ignored
She's finally home, she sets her bags on the floor
But her mother wasn't there to hold her hand anymore
She heard her daddy he was calling her name
She went back to his room, but he just wasn't the same
He said I'm sorry for the tears that you've cried
Will you ever forgive me?
(She said) I've already tried
You're my angel in disguise
You look at me with gentle eyes
You're my angel in disguise
You save me from that one last cry
You're my angel in disguise
You can look at me with gentle eyes
Ride
I'm an outlaw taking chances
When there's nothing left to gain
I get caught seeking answers
That only cause me pain
Can't let my eyes get branded
So I can find my way
I'll ride like a runaway bandit
'Cause I found that I'm to blame
Time keeps changing
But the story's the same
Why do we all keep looking
For somebody to blame
The score needs settled
But this isn't a game
So win lose or die ride
This is the reckoning
I'm a renegade livin' the edge and
You're the one who lives afraid
I keep on turning the pages
You keep on running away
I'm a young gun shootin' to payback
Here comes the ricochet
I see wanted dead or alive
On the page I see my face
There's you and I in unity
It's time we take a stand so we can let the world see
God made different colors to make His people unique
Just because I'm different doesn't mean that I'm a freak
Or maybe I am a freak for the man Himself who died for me
We're daily on a mission from God in search of unity
it's time you open your eyes see the problem at hand
All you have to do is love and live and take your own stand
A d love each other like a brother
All you people love them like they were your sister or your mother
It's time we stoop the hate so we can't hurt one another
'Cause that ain't it that ain't right
Congregate we got to fight
The end will come keep Him in sight
his people unify it's time we all fight You and I in unity
That's what love should be
You and I in unity
It's time for the world to see
Denomination it shouldn't stop a congregation
From being one with every tongue and every tribe and every nation
Tribulation the force that fought for people left behind
Revelation I got to let them know the missions mine
All those different places of different races and different faces
We come together as one achievable through graces
It's not about the fat pockets or scrilla
We got to stand up straight and be strong like a pillar
We got to stand up and fight
You know the time is right
We got to keep the end in sight
Wipe the tears away, wipe the tears away
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
'Cause tonight... we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the tattered street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday (Sunday bloody Sunday...)
(Lets go! )
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
'Cause tonight... we can be as one
Tonight...
Tonight...
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday (Sunday bloody Sunday...)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
On...
The real battle has just begun
To claim the victory that Jesus won
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
There seems to be something going on inside of you
Maybe what you need is just another point of view
But not from me, that's not for me to do
So, step back, relax, take a second, look inside of you
And you can see an image of yourself you never saw before
Despite all the trauma you've felt
If one way or another, we all are bright stars
It's just a simple way to find out who we really are
Why do we let it out of control? Has all this taken a toll?
I don't know if we can take anymore
We've got to stop and take a look in the mirror before
Step back, take a look inside yourself
From the outside, you can see someone else staring back at you
It's your reflection
Why do you feel so empty every time you've had enough?
Well, maybe you don't realize with what you've been filling up
It's plain to see that eventually you will see
The Jekyll and Hyde game in your mind is just a simile
Before your perception has started to get a little numb
And your perfection isn't helping anyone
Your reflection is the only way for you to see
I ain't talkin' about cartoons Saturday morning TV
Remote control, it's time to set your mind free
Kick up your feet, flippin' the channels
Brotherly love, I'm leadin' by example
You're up all night watchin' late night cinema
Trying' to get your life straight like that Y2K millennium
Cops shows, talk shows, infomercials with a deal
Give 'em up 'cause it's time for somethin' real
You know it's time for somethin' true.
Talkin' about somethin' real
The rest is up to me and you
Verse two goes somethin' like this, in a quick smack hurry
Open your eyes 'cause your vision's kinda blurry
Cash rules everything around me, cream is the money let me tell ya
That's a bunch of bologna
'Cause everything I need the Lord has given me
and everything I have is everything I need
So take time realize how you should feel
and give it up 'cause it's time for somethin' real
Well He's the real deal, He's the reason every season and so you should kneel
and give thanks and then be praisin' Him in every way
And then you'll see that He has loved you from the very day, so listen to what we have to say
about a story that's as real as it gets so take heed.
Pay attention 'cause for you and I it's Elohim we need
Our little journey isn't all about this record deal
You make it so hard on yourself
But theres nobody else
That could ever understand
The feelings that you felt
I could hear you think about
All the time I was around
If you could only see me now
I'm right here looking down
So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
I know you won't forget
All the time we got to spend
Just because it's been a while
Doesn't mean that its the end
So right here and now
I'll swear you a vow
That I will always be with you
Whenever you feel down
Nothing ever will come between us
Now I'm holding on to the hand of Jesus
So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
I'll be right there looking down
Even when the shine don't shine
I'll be right there looking down
All along the winter night
I'll be right there looking down
With a smile on me face
I'll be right there with my arms open wide
Right here on Jesus' side
So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
No matter how hard you try to
You can't make the clock rewind to
The moment that you lied to yourself
It never really mattered how they felt
Your secrets and regrets
Are keeping you from going very far
And you can't let all this get you down
And keep you living in the dark
'Cause all you're looking for is love
You're living in the dark
You just can't get enough
Your secrets and regrets
You're holding on this pain inside you
Can't seem to leave it all behind you
Tomorrow it'll be today soon
Don't wait until it's too late to move
Your secrets and regrets
Are keeping you from going very far
And you can't let all this get you down
And keep you living in the dark
'Cause all you're looking for is love
You're living in the dark
You just can't get enough
Your secrets and regrets
How many times do you need second chances?
Not everybody gets a another second chance
How many times do you need second chances?
Not everybody gets another second chance, second chance
Your secrets and regrets
Are keeping you from going very far
And you can't let all this get you down
And keep you living in the dark
'Cause all you're looking for is love
You're living in the dark
You just can't get enough
Your secrets and regrets
It's no more secrets, no regrets
It's no more secrets, no regrets
No living in the dark, no living in the dark
There's a whole world going on outside
But you've been stuck inside your mind
Do you let fear motivate you
Or does it complicate you
Leaving you a step behind
You're left with no one standing by your side
You try to justify your lies
It starts to agitate you
Don't let this aggravate you
There's no need to apologize
We all need resolution
You can find your way through
There's only one solution
You've gotta find what you're looking for
You've been hiding in that weak disguise
Hoping no one sees your foolish eyes
Don't let that intimidate you
Don't let it separate you
From all the ones who question why
Just keep on reaching for the sky
And you'll find out its not that high
When you let love elevate you
When you let it gravitate you
You're in for the ride of your life
We all need resolution
You can find your way through
There's only one solution
You've gotta find what you're looking for
Don't let the moment pass you
Don't let distractions blind you
Don't let question stop you
Getting started with a new song for our friends.
Something that can help us we can always make amends.
It keeps on getting better than it ever was before.
It keeps on getting better Jah keeps opening up doors.
This song is for y'all people that are with us to the end.
The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost, our family and our friends.
We love you and appreciate everything that you've done.
I hope you think that it's not over 'cause we've only just begun.
Reaching out and walking with the ones I love is the only thing I ever wanted to do.
We're packin' up our bags and we're heading through your town.
We're gonna get those speakers pumpin' make sure you get down.
We're gonna do it all just like we did it once before.
We're gonna keep on going 'cause God's opening up doors.
This song is for y'all people that are with us to the end.
The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost, our family and our friends.
We love you and appreciate everything that you've done.
I hope you think that it's not over 'cause we've only just begun.
I love you for everything you are and what you've given me.
Somewhere out there, there is somewhere
Somewhere out there, there is somewhere
Why can't we just get away
From the actions of our yesterdays
And everything that's kept us down along our way
How will we make our escape
To a place where we can lead the way
We'll find a way for all of us to run away
And we all will find
What we've been looking for
Leave this all behind
It won't matter anymore
These are the best days of our lives
For us to find
Still the future's shining bright
For you and I tonight
We will spread our wings and fly so high
That we can find our hideaway
We will make it our escape and get away
Why do we all feel the same
As the first time that we played the game
And felt the shame of all the things that came our way
How can we all run away
And find a place where we can stay
And not explain a single thing and still remain
We will all be fine
We are not alone
Don't look back in time
Just let yourself go
These are the best days of our lives
For us to find
Still the future's shining bright
For you and I tonight
We will spread our wings and fly so high
That we can find our hideaway
We will make it our escape and get away
Somewhere out there, there is somewhere
Somewhere out there, there is somewhere
Somewhere out there, there is somewhere
For us to get away
We will find our hideaway
We will make it our escape and get away
We will find our hideaway
We will make it our escape and get away
Just let yourself go
These are the best days of our lives
For us to find
Still the future's shining bright
For you and I tonight
We will spread our wings and fly so high
We will find our hideaway
We will make it our escape and get away
Find our hideaway
We will make it our escape
He heals the sick He saves the lost and died for you in case you've forgot, man
He'll jump a building in a single bound
I once was lost but now I'm found
He needs no mask or cape or gown
all He needs is His holy crown
it's time for you to understand Jesus Christ the Original Superman
He'll be your hero in the end. He is that one true superfriend
Kryptonite can't slow him down nothin' can at all
He's always there for you. He'll pick you up if you should fall
He came to earth in the flesh and
Performing miracles and died for man
A forty day fast is more than I could take
he did it for you and he did it for my sake
Ye of little faith he said to them raised his hand and all was calm again
It's time for you to understand
Jesus Christ the Original Superman
up up and away He's saving souls in a new way
Just like Superman was there He's always there to save the day
he works through all of us
Through Him we have the power
It's time to unify so we can constantly devour
The devil and all of his games we need not be ashamed
Of anything we can do that we can glorify His name
Many names he has been given
Prince of Peace Son of Man
Here's one more for his list.
Your runnin' the race that never ends to make amends
With the friends that you've had since the day that your life began
You're caught up in the rat race with your face disgraced
'Cause there's a time and a place for everything
And so we bring what you can sing
Givin' glory and honor to the one we call the King
You gotta fix your eyes on Him cause you know
That death is the wages of sin
So open up your eyes
Just open your eyes it's time you realize
It's your own demise
just open your eyes it's time you realize
To reach out for the prize
Comin' once again bringin the noise to fill you in
on this secret that you'll see when you open up your eyes within
So party people when you've fallen down you've had enough
Just open 'em up and let Him fill your cup
You can't do anything without consequences and repercussions
You think the world owes you something well stop you fussin
'Cause it ain't my fault it's nobody buy yours
So see what your life has in store when you open up your eyes
As I aimlessly wander around how could I ever expect to be found
Until looking down and seeing the light at the ground by my feet
I heard angels resound and there I avowed this is the road I would take
Just to make it there for my sake now I say that I'll never break
I can get there by the light at my feet
You've made me walk in electricity
I can get there by the light at my feet
You are my everything all that I need
Now that I see it's so easy for me to proceed on the my destiny
And let it be seen the light that you've given thee
Let it be efficiently electricity
For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in this motherland
See the Father's hand started up a master plan
There's been many through the test of time take a stand
But had they ran who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
KIA gave their lives to let freedom shine
But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think a second how long it's been going on before you
They're the one's who even helped you have the right to argue
Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One nation under God indivisible
All the people let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The people of the nation let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave
One nation under God indivisible
You've been looking all your life
To find a place to hide
To cover up the hurt
And the sorrow in your cry
All the choices that we make
And the chances that we take
Define you in the end
But your heart's about to break
These five words I pray
You would find your way
So you will always have
That one more day
Can you tell me what you're waiting for?
Tell me what you're looking for
Waiting on forever
Forever starts now
Can you tell me what it's all about?
Tell me why you live in doubt
Waiting on forever
Forever starts now
You've been wasting all your time
Asking yourself why
No matter what you find
You're running out of time
(Don't waste another day)
There's exceptions to the rule
You don't have to play the fool
You don't have to run and hide
Or justify your lies
So reach inside yourself
Take the bitterness you've held
Leave it all behind
The clock starts now
What're you waitin' for?
The clock starts now!
Waiting on forever
Forever starts now
Consumed by reputation,
It's what they say that gets you down,
You find new motivation,
Inside this new love that you've found,
It's now your navigation,
To keep your head engaged, oh yeah,
Your final destination,
Keeps you focused on the win
Count me in, but don't count me out,
You can't shut me up, you can't shut me down,
Fight through the hurt,
Fight through the pain,
Without the ache there is no gain,
We live our lives for the love of the game
And we will rise,
This is our time,
Don't let the chances of our lifetime pass us by,
And we will rise,
This is our time,
We'll give this everything we've got,
For the love of the game
Reach for a new elevation,
And see just how high we can go,
Full blown determination,
Will take us further than we know,
My own anticipation,
Keeps the fire from burning out,
It's time for domination,
No one will ever take us down
'Cause I won't give up,
I won't give in
Here's a chance to show you how I feel
A chance for you to see it's real
To see just what I feel inside
And who it is that's by my side
I will never change my mind
Try to torch me and you'll find
You can't turn me or deter me
No matter how you try
You can't burn me
I know where I stand
And what'll happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof
Now you know what I'm all about
There's no chance I'll ever doubt
The only one who can control me
I extol the Almighty
You want me to put it on the line
And give yield to you this time
See but I won't compromise and I realize
It's my time to rise
It's my time to rise
I know where I stand
And what'll happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof
You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire
You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire
I know where I stand
And what'll happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof
I know where I stand
And what'll happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
Now can't you see that there is something
That's burning up inside
And I don't know what it means
But there's something I ain't tried
It feels like me against the nations
There's something I can't hide
And I don't care if you believe me
'Cause it's burning me alive, I'll show you
Nothing comes that easy
And nothing comes for free
Something comes from nothing
If you're willing to believe
'Cause everything has meaning
Everything we see
Are you willing to give up everything?
'Cause you don't need a revelation
To open up your mind
Break down all your reasons
And leave them all behind
'Cause it's takes faith for moving mountains
Strength to walk the line
Your apologies' accepted
There's nothing you can hide, believe me
Nothing comes that easy
And nothing comes for free
Something comes from nothing
If you're willing to believe
'Cause everything has meaning
Everything we see
Are you willing to give up everything?
Nothing comes that easy
Nothing comes for free
Something comes from nothing
If you're willing to believe
'Cause everything has meaning
Everything we see
Are you willing to give up everything?
Everything, everything
Something comes from nothing
If you're willing to believe
'Cause everything has meaning
Everything we see
Are you willing to give up
Give up everything?
Time will tell, time will tell
Time will tell everything
Time will tell, time will tell, time will tell
Is it such a crime to be a paradigm
So many people have to think it's just a waste of time
But the truth is, the truth is a lie
It's a sign of the changing times
Kinda feelin' like it's time for me to climb, me to rhyme
While I'm fightin' for the lost in the meantime
I don't be goin' at it part time lookin' for the prime time
People have to think it's just a pastime
We're in the middle of an outbreak
It's no joke just high stakes
Well there's an epidemic goin' on
So be wise and decide to change
It's a hard concept to grasp when you're playing with fire
And you keep throwin' on gas eventually you'll get burned with a big blast
We stand fast withstanding the whiplash we make it last
And raise our colors to the top of the mast
Because the sands filling fast in the hourglass
So unmask and forget your past stay on path
The world's labeled you as an outcast
Well here's a newsflash you'll never see teeth gnash
I feel what's real in my mind inside
You can't escape what seeks you out
You know it's time for us to step it up
Another level now 'cause we finished warming up
So we rise up elevate to maintain fill up with octane
And fan the flame we regain all the names
The enemy took away
And like a green beret we will lead the way
Into battle so have no fear we will draw near
So that we can persevere like a gondolier
We headed straight to the top nonstop
Set shop at the top of the Rock
You'll feel the aftershock after we rock the spot
Cause you forgot these soldiers won't turn and walk
We take hard knocks come back for more
Cause we're hardcore we fight for the One who died for (you)
And like Saigon we're on the frontlines
And we carry on to the end times
Now that it's on, we're out in the front of this marathon
With our armor on, stay strong we drive on (drive on)
Our echelon pressin' on 'til we reach the top
And you know we don't stop (our echelon)
Now that it's on
We're on the enemy's hit list
I'm hopin' you get this
You're takin' a risk when you resist the one who made you exist
Evolutionists we got love for you too but we're breakin' down
Walls seeking out the truth
I'm a soldier in this army of One
Like I told ya the battle's already won
So about face move outta the way I gotta pray for you
I don't believe you're dull reaction
What we need's a call to action
Display it in your coldest caption
What we need's a call to action
So long to what could never heal
So long to your distant memory
So long to what could never be
You build me up to break me down again
You kill me once you kill me every time
Your disbelief it keeps me waiting in line
I don't believe you're dull reaction
What we need's a call to action
Display it in your coldest caption
What we need's a call to action
So long to all your remedies
So long to your desperate misery
So long to what you think of me
You kill me once you kill me every time
Your disbelief it keeps me waiting in line
I don't believe you're dull reaction
What we need's a call to action
Display it in your coldest caption
What we need's a call to action
You kill me once you kill me every time
(Action)
Waiting in line, waiting in line
(Action)
[x2]
I don't believe you're dull reaction
What we need's a call to action
Display it in your coldest caption
What we need's a call to action
And at this moment I'm standing forward
(Action)
I've tried it your way so how do you like me now?
Like me now
Open up and reveal what's goin' on in the backroom (Uh oh)
I see you I never knew what it was you were goin' through
But I can relate I used to wear the same shoes
So quit livin' like a hypocrite and be real
Like an opposite of counterfeit
And you'll feel what it is you're really up against
Stop foolin' yourself not foolin' anyone else
I hope you're getting this
You're not the same man you were before
Tell me what are you like behind closed doors
I can't take this anymore
To see these people slippin' out through the back door
So what's the point of even trying to hide
Cause everything you do is seen by omnipotent eyes
So come outside and leave behind
Don't be satisfied with the backslide we on the flipside
Sometimes it's so easy to cheat
But the only one's you're cheatin' are just you and the Chief
It ain't just a belief He'll be back like a thief
You better breathe get your things and leave
I know you will eventually
When you gonna come out to play
When you gonna come out to stay
When you gonna come out to say
Midnight I've fallen fast asleep
Daylight I can't remember anything
So many questions that get in the way
About the place I keep sleeping awake
So wake me and tell me what you see
Let me walk with you in the streets
The streets with no name cause I feel far away
And as I wake I only fail to remember
Why do I feel like I'm slipping away
Why do I feel so far away
Wake me up inside my dreams
Just in time for me to believe
Another morning chasing lies
After another evening chasing skies
So make tonight my reality
So tomorrow I remember everything
Why do I feel
Like staying awake when I fall asleep
I don't wanna feel
It's Sunday morning and you struggle with the sheets
You hear the alarm kick the snooze go back to sleep
If you could only get up you would see what you were missin'
He is always there if you just take the time to listen to His
Mission His will He'll tell you what to do
Now that it's been done it's up to you to see it thorough
And then do it daily 'cause that's where it's at
It'll help you keep your life on track
It's on all day everyday kinda thing
So many times we think we got it tough
We go to church two times a year and you think that's enough
To get by with our lives and look good in others' eyes
Eventually with God we see there is no compromise
We realize how weak we really are
Without Him in your life then you won't make it very far
24-7 is the point I'm tryin to make
A daily walk with Him is exactly what it takes
When you know you're down
When you're looking in
And you know your heart has your only friend
Don't you know that life, it can take some time to get it real
Too far gone for people to ever change your mind,
You better get a bit closer to the one that makes you bright
It's all you've got and you know where to go
It's like the magic that you need
You know the oneStuck on top is mighty low,
Twice as far as the blanket that won`t let you go
It's all you can do that makes you whole,
Twice as far as the lights that went off in time
It's all in your head if you think you're a
Lie, you're twice as good as Mars and Mars is outta sight
It's all that you do that lets you know
Stuck on top makes me down inside
See it in your eyes
Now I know why you are so vacant
I want what's missing there
A place you hide
Now I notice why I'm high
I almost shake itI mean it's everywhere
All the days I waited
If I could reach you, you know I'd wanna see you there
