Walking
around I hear the earth seeking relief.
I’m trying to find a reason to live.
But the mindless clutter my path.
Oh these thorns in my side.
I know I have something free
I have something so alive.
I think they shoot ‘cause they want it.
I feel forces all around me.
Come on raise your head.
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that’s dead.
Look at me…look at me.
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet
through my head.
Through my head.
Through my head.
Through my head.
In my lifetime when I’m disgraced
By jealousy and lies.
I laugh aloud ‘cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else’s mind.
Look at me…look at me.
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet
through my head.
Through my head.
Through my head.
Through my head.
Hey all I want is what’s real
Something I touch and can feel.
I’ll hold it close and never let it go.
Said why…why do we live life
With all this hate inside.
I’ll give it away ‘cause I don’t want it no more.
Please help me find a place.
Somewhere far away I’ll go and you’ll never see me again.
Freedom Fighter
The mouths
of envious
Always find another door.
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more.
But our mission’s set in stone
‘Cause the writing’s on the wall.
I’ll scream it from the mountain tops
pride comes before a fall.
So many thoughts to share.
All this energy to give.
Unlike those who hide the truth,
I tell it like it is.
If the truth will set you free.
I feel sorry for your soul.
Can’t you hear the ringing ‘cause
for you the bell tolls.
I’m just a freedom fighter.
No remorse
Raging on in holy war.
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me.
Face to face with me.
Can’t you hear us coming?
People marching all around.
Can’t you see we’re coming?
Close your eyes it’s over now.
Can’t you hear us coming?
The fight has only just begun.
Can’t you see we’re coming?
I’m just a freedom fighter.
No remorse
Raging on in holy war.
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me.
Face to face with me.
Run…hide.
All that was sacred to us
Sacred to us.
See the signs
The covenant has been broken
By mankind.
Leaving us with no shoulder…
with no shoulder.
To rest our head on.
To rest our head on.
To rest our head on.
Who’s got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected.
So what is the truth now?
There’s still time.
All that has been devastated
Can be recreated.
Realize
We pick up the broken pieces
Of our lives.
Giving ourselves to each other…
ourselves to each other.
To rest our head on.
To rest our head on.
To rest our head on.
Who’s got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected.
So what is the truth now?
Tell me the truth now…
Tell us the truth now.
Who’s got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected.
So what is the truth now?
Signs
This is
not about age.
Time served on the earth
doesn’t mean you grow in mind.
This is not about God.
Spiritual insinuations seem
to shock our nation.
Come with me I’m fading
underneath the lights.
Come with me,
Come with me,
Come with me now.
This is not about race.
It’s a decision to stop the
division in your life.
This is not about sex.
We all know sex sells and
the whole world is buying.
Come with me I’m fading
underneath the lights.
Come with me,
Come with me,
Come with me now.
Can’t you see the signs?
See the signs now.
Can’t you see them?
See the signs.
You see them.
All the signs we see them
Can’t you see them?
Please
come now I think I’m falling.
I’m holding on to all I think is safe.
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I’m trying to escape.
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I’m down to one last breath.
And with it let me say,
Let me say.
Hold me now.
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet,
Ain’t so far down.
I’m looking down now that it’s over,
Reflecting on all of my mistakes.
I thought I found the road to somewhere,
Somewhere in His grace.
I cried out heaven save me,
But I’m down to one last breath.
And with it let me say,
Let me say.
Hold me now.
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet,
Ain’t so far down.
Sad eyes follow me,
But I still believe there’s something left for me.
So please come stay with me.
‘Cause I still believe there’s something left for you and me.
For you and me,
For you and me.
Hold me now.
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking.
My Sacrifice
Hello my
friend we meet again.
It’s been a while where should
we begin…feels like forever.
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me.
I remember.
When you are with me
I’m free…I’m careless…I believe.
Above all the others we’ll fly.
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice.
We’ve seen our share of ups and downs.
Oh how quickly life can turn around in
an instant.
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind.
Let’s find peace there.
When you are with me
I’m free…I’m careless…I believe.
Above all the others we’ll fly.
This brings tears to my eyes,
My sacrifice.
I just want to say hello again .
You
always reached out to me and
helped me believe.
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them.
The truth of it is there’s a right way to live
And you showed me.
So now you live on in the words of a song
You’re a melody.
You stand here with me now.
Just when fear blinded me
you taught me to dream.
I’ll give you everything I am
and still fall short of.
What you’ve done for me
In this life that I live,
I hope I can give love unselfishly.
I’ve learned the world is bigger than me.
You’re my daily dose of reality.
You stand here with me now.
On and on we sing,
On and on we sing this song.
‘Cause you stand here with me.
Weathered
I lie
awake on a long, dark night.
I can’t seem to tame my mind.
Slings and arrows are killing me inside.
Maybe I can’t accept the life that’s mine.
No I can’t accept the life that’s mine.
Simple living is my desperate cry.
Been trading love with indifference
yeah it suits me just fine.
I try to hold on but I’m calloused to the bone.
Maybe that’s why I feel alone,
Maybe that’s why I feel so alone.
Me…I’m rusted and weathered,
Barely holding together.
I’m covered with skin that peels and
it just won’t heal.
The sun shines and I can’t avoid the light.
I think I’m holding on to life too tight.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
Sometimes I feel like giving up.
Sometimes I feel like giving up.
Me…I’m rusted and weathered
Barely holding together.
I’m covered with skin that peels
and it just won’t heal.
The day reminds me of you.
The night hides your truth.
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you.
Take all this pride
And leave it behind.
Because one day it ends,
One day we die.
Believe what you will
That is your right.
But I choose to win.
So I choose to fight,
To fight.
Hide
To what do
I owe this gift my friend?
My life, my love, my soul?
I’ve been dancing with the devil
way too long.
And it’s making me grow old,
Making me grow old.
Let’s leave…oh let’s get away,
Get lost in time.
Where there’s no reason to hide.
Let’s leave…oh let’s get away,
Run in fields of time.
Where there’s no reason to hide.
What are you going to do with
your gift dear child?
Give life, give love, give soul?
Divided is the one who dances,
For the soul is so exposed,
So exposed.
Let’s leave…oh let’s get away
Get lost in time.
Where there’s no reason to hide.
Let’s leave…oh let’s get away,
Run in fields of time.
Where there’s no reason to hide.
There is no reason to hide.
No reason to hide.
Don't Stop Dancing
At times
life is wicked and I just can’t
see the light.
A silver lining sometimes isn’t enough,
To make some wrongs seem right.
Whatever life brings,
I’ve been through everything.
And now I’m on my knees again.
But I know I must go on.
Although I hurt I must be strong.
Because inside I know that many
feel this way.
Children don’t stop dancing.
Believe you can fly
Away…away.
At times life’s unfair and you know
it’s plain to see.
Hey God I know I’m just a dot in
this world.
Have you forgot about me?
Whatever life brings,
I’ve been through everything,
And now I’m on my knees again.
But I know I must go on.
Although I hurt I must be strong.
Because inside I know that many
feel this way.
Am I hiding in the shadows?
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows.
But I know I must go on.
Although I hurt I must be strong.
Because inside I know that many
feel this way.
Children don’t stop dancing.
Believe you can fly
Away…away.
Am I hiding in the shadows?
Are we hiding in the shadows?
Lullaby
Hush
my love now don’t you cry,
Everything will be all right.
Close your eyes and drift in dream.
Rest
in peaceful sleep.
If there’s one thing I hope
I showed you.
Hope I showed you.
Just give love to all.
Oh my love…in my arms tight.
Every day you give me life.
As I drift off to your world,
Will rest in peaceful sleep.
I know there’s one thing that
you showed me.
That you showed me.
Just give love to all.
Let’s give love to all.
