The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.
The GPS program provides critical capabilities to military, civil and commercial users around the world. In addition, GPS is the backbone for modernizing the global air traffic system.
The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems, integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994.
Advances in technology and new demands on the existing system have now led to efforts to modernize the GPS system and implement the next generation of GPS III satellites and Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX). Announcements from the Vice President and the White House in 1998 initiated these changes. In 2000, U.S. Congress authorized the modernization effort, referred to as GPS III.
Plot
Evan Milton (Joshua Paul McCreary) is a door-to-door cutlery salesman that, in his loneliness, has become attached to the voice of his GPS. Especially as his GPS does not merely give street directions, but annoyingly offers advice on sex, hygiene, and weight loss. However, when the GPS suddenly redirects Evan to a different suburban neighborhood and brings up the subject of suicide, Evan realizes he cannot ignore the GPS anymore. He accepts that in order to change his destination in life, he must first confront his past, a secret hidden within a house located in this neighborhood. However, when Milton discovers that the homeowner (Rafael Medina) is an eighteen-year-old kid who believes he is Jesus reincarnated, Milton reconsiders how he interpreted the GPS's directions... and warnings.

It took a while for there rains to come
There's no other season, it will never change
Caught within a circle, a never ending page
You alone did move it all, the journey had to end
Standing in the rain, the scars will never mend
Since you've been gone, I'm feeling so strong
Since you've been gone, The line is now drawn
Since you've been gone, It's time to move on
Since you've been gone, since you've been gone
Waking from a winter, I see a promised land
Rocks of salt are diamonds, safe within my hand
Now the snow has melted, All will be revealed
Take away the chains, Take away the shield
Since you've been gone, I'm feeling so strong
Since you've been gone, The line is now drawn
Since you've been gone, I will carry on
Since you've been gone, Were no longer as one
Since you've been gone
Still I'm free,
You'll never understand, you'll never understand
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone, I'm feeling so strong
Since you've been gone, How can we move as one
Since you've been gone, gone
Utan dig var är jag då?
Hur vet jag vilken väg jag kör på?
Utan din röst Jag skulle hamna på fel ställe
Även om allt är mörkt du gör mig se
Och även om jag ibland göra fel väg
Du kommer alltid att vara här för att leda mig rätt
En dag förlorade vi varandra
Allt blev mörkt och din röst försvann
Hur skulle jag komma till den plats jag vill vara?
Då såg jag vad som fick mig att förstå
Jag trodde din kraft var borta
Heaven can wait
and a band of angels
wrapped up in my heart
will take me through the lonely night
through the cold of the day
And I know, I know
Heaven can wait
and all the gods come down here
just to sing for me
and the melody's gonna make me fly
without pain
without fear.
Give me all of your dreams
and let me go along on your way
Give me all of your prayers to sing
And I'll turn the night
into the skylight of day
I got a taste of paradise
I'm never gonna let it slip away
Got a taste of paradise
that's all I really need to make me stay
Just like a child again
Heaven can wait
and all I got is time until the end of time
I won't look back, I won't look back
Let the altars shine...
And I know that I've been released
But I don't know to where
nobody's gonna tell me now
and I don't really care
No no no
I got a taste of paradise
That's all I really need to make me stay
got a taste of paradise
If I had it any sooner you know
You know I never would
have run away from my home
Heaven can wait
And all I got is time until the end of time
and I won't look back
I won't look back
Let the altars shine
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
and I won't look back
I won't look back
Let the altars shine
I think I've been infected with the flu
Once again bordems got me feeling blue
Sometimes in this live you've got to cut the crap
Sit down for my rights cuz I don't care
to do what everybody else would do. I'm fine right here
I voted once but I didn't win, ill never vote again
People say I should give a damn
People say I should respect this land
But I say no way I wont compromise
Either way my life remains the same
Its great, come join me at the lake its freshly stocked
No work just play leeching of the state all day
clears my mind
They say this is the land of the free
To me that means I have the liberty to sit down for
my rights cuz I don't care
To do what everybody else would do I'm fine right here
I voted once but I didn't win Ill never vote again

Thought I was a wise man
On a ship of fools
When you gave us friendship
Next we gave you rules
Yes we gave you rules
It's written on the wind
You must let me in
It's written on the wind
You must let us in
Then to the west we traveled
Till we met the sea
And this land was golden
Gold for you and me
Gold for you and me
It's written on the wind
Let the rush begin
It's written on the wind
Big sky closing in
Won't you listen to the wind
And we gave you rules
Yes we gave you rules
Cos it's written on the wind
You must let us in
It's written on the wind
Someday were gonna turn to dust again
Every man must be free
We were born equally
So they taught him how to love
And they showed him how to feel
It's cold outside
Light is calling you
It's cold outside
And your shell is through
Now your soul, soul, will be free
From his cell to the seas
Sent away just sixteen
This is not my war
By the lord he swore
It's could outside
Light is calling you
So, so cold outside
Life is leaving you
Soon this soul will be free
Yes this soul, soul, will be free
In the snow where he lay
Silent eyes look away
His crime was just to feel
Had no wish to kill
It's could outside
Light is calling you
It's cold outside
But this life is through
Now your soul will be free
Through the walls I hear the screams
The preacher and the slave
You can have your pound of flesh
But you cannot take away, away, away
One day
We'll build a better place
One day
A land we will embrace
This lamb will not lie down
Till the crack of doom
With feet of clay we'd roam, roam
And make this kingdom come, come
One day
We'll build a better place
One day
Upon the rocks of faith
One day
The stars will show the way
We can make this kingdom come
Not by sword, not by gun
New Jerusalem
You can take away my skin
But the fire still burns within
But I still need love this time
As I live and breathe your lies
Window to the soul
So tell me Father
When will I get shelter from the pain
Why do we falter
And after joy it always turns to rain
So much to learn
As the path does turn
Lost in circumstance
Might there be a chance
But I still need love this night
Though I look and see your lies
Window to the soul
I'll keep on pushing
Shoulder to the stone not roll away
Keep, keep on looking
Every time the song remains the same
And we don't ask why
As the years go by
Would there be a time
When this day is mine
Still need love this time
As I live and breathe your lies
Window to the soul
The eyes
Yes I still see through your eyes
Day by day the memory fades to grey
I still see you within my world
Burns so bright, the candle shows the way
We follow even now
There will be a place, there will be a time
I'll see you again dear friend of mine
Day by day as memories fade to grey
I still hear you within my world
One so strong, the flame will never die
Somewhere you still breathe on
There must be a place, there must be a time
I will see you again good friend of mine
You just live for the moment
Guess you broke all the rules
And you had all you did want
But fate stepped in and took the dream away
You just live for the moment
Taking all that you see
Summer lasts for a long time
But fate stepped in and took the dream away
There must be a space
There must be a time
I will se you again
Good friend of mine
You just live for the moment
Yes you broke all the rules
And you had all you did want
But fate stepped in and took the dream away
You live for the moment
Taking all that you see
Summer smiled for a long time
There once was a time
I knew you were mine
All we have is hate
I wish it could change
The years never fade
The scars are the crimes
That we make
I believe in yesterday
I was happy in that place
I believe in the yesterday I knew
I believe in yesterday
Another time a better space
I believe in the yesterday I knew
Did not realize
The beauty of life
And so we just pray when we loose
Please don't ask me why
Now as times passed by
I've saved this dance til the end
I believe in yesterday
I was happy in that place
I believe in the yesterday I knew
I believe in yesterday
Another time a better space
I believe in the yesterday I knew
I believe in yesterday
I was happy in that place
As a child, he would never question
Told what's right, punished for confession
Too many times, witnessed confrontation
Led by design, is no explanation
Oh, they lied
Oh he cried
All my life, all my life, I believed
All my life, all my life, you deceived
Paid the price, is he not forsaken?
For taking life, on an order spoken
This dream is alive, cannot stop it's thunder
Oh, you lied
Oh, he cries
All my life, all my life, I believed
All my life, all my life, you deceived
All my life I, all my life I believed
All my life I, all my life you deceived
The day of the light, has revealed the future
Twisted inside, universal soldier
Oh, they lied
oh, he cried, cried, cried
All my life, all my life, I believed
All my life, all my life, you deceived
All my life I, all my life I believed
