I love lyrics. Lately... Colton Dixon's lyrics. Here are some of the best!!

"NOISE"
Every day is a car alarm
That I don't know how to disarm
Where is the silence
That simple silence

Every day is a time bomb
Ticking louder till it goes off
Where is the silence
Where is it hiding

Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything has come alive, oh
But I'm getting lost in the sound
I need to hear Your voice
Reminding me that at the end of the day
No matter what goes down I'll be OK
Even through the noise

I'm looking high and I'm looking low
It's the same any place I go
Where is the silence
Where is it hiding

Gonna come what may be
But things are getting kind of crazy
Where is the silence
Can't get no silence

Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything has come alive, oh
But I'm getting lost in the sound
I need to hear Your voice
Reminding me that at the end of the day
No matter what goes down I'll be OK
Even through the noise

Whisper my name, whisper my name
When it's getting too high
Whisper my name, whisper my name
Tell me that it's alright
[x2]

Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything has come alive, oh
But I'm getting lost in the sound
I need to hear Your voice
Reminding me that at the end of the day
No matter what goes down I'll be OK
Even through the noise
Even through the noise

"NEVER GONE"
Lights off, a shot in the dark
We get lost when we're playing a part
We lay blame like we know what's best
... It's a shame...

We break when we fall too hard
Lose faith when we're torn apart
Don't say you're too far gone
It's a shame
It's a shame

There's space between our lives
Hard to face, but I know we try
To revive, bring it back to life
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Yeah, I was never gone

I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
"Love Has Come For Me"

I tell myself that I can do better
Someday I'm gonna get it all together
Who am I fooling?
I am weak and prone to be
The me that I will always be
So what's left to do but surrender?

This is where I am
And this is where You start
And everything I needed
Is everything You are
Love has come for me
Oh, love has come for me

I've never understood but it's amazing
The way you never let the past enslave me
How do you do it?
Love the heart, the part of me
That desperately needs a remedy
I wanna be a life You keep changing

Cause this is where I am
And this is where You start
And everything I needed
Is everything You are
Love has come for me
Oh, love has come for me

And I'll go where You want me to be
And even though I may be broken
I can see Your love has come for me

I'm never gonna get it all together
So, what's left to do but surrender?

Cause this is where I am
And this is where You start
And everything I needed
Is everything You are
Love has come for me
Love has come for me
Yeah, love has come for me
Love has come for me  

"Rise"

What happened to your life
It's more than makeup staining your eyes
You wanna be in a better place
Say you don't wanna live this way
All alone

When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight, tonight

So hard to watch you bleed
Your fragile heart ripped at the seams
You gotta try to help me understand
But first you're gonna have to let me in
No, you're not alone

When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight
You can rise tonight, yeah

There's a light, a hope in your eyes
Like a star burning in the sky
There's a fire you can't hide tonight, oh
[x2]

When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight
You can rise tonight

"Where My Heart Goes"

Where does my heart go
When I have a choice to make?
Who do I follow
When my character's at stake?
Will I run from You or to Your arms?
Will I fight to be right where You are?
'Cause life is pulling me a million different ways

This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home, You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks
If it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know You won't ever let me go
(You won't let me go)
I want You to be where my heart goes

There's no denying
What this world will promise me
But I have decided
You are the only thing I need
So take everything
Take everything
Take everything

This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home, You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks
If it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know You won't ever let me go
(You won't let me go)
I want You to be where my heart

Runs to, clings to
Jesus, I so need You
I want You to be where my heart goes

This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home, You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
(Where my heart goes)
And if it all breaks
If it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know You won't ever let me go
(You won't let me go)
I want You to be where my heart goes
I want You to be where my heart goes

"THIS IS WHO I AM"

A million colors paint the world
But you don't see them
Like I see them
A picture worth a thousand words
But you don't hear them
Are you listenin'?

I've been singing out, screaming loud
Shoutin' for so long

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am

A sea of faces all around
I see you sinkin'
I see you drownin'
But I won't let you pull me down
As I'm reachin' for deeper meaning

Oh, I've been searchin' for that somethin'
But I've know it all along

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am

This is who I am
I'm the blind man given eyes to see
The captive who has been set free
The truth if only you'd believe

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am

Whoa oh, whoa oh
I won't apologize
This is who I am
Whoa oh, whoa oh
I will not compromise
This is who I am

"IN AND OUT OF TIME" -- My favorite!!!

Future is waiting
He's always pulling me
And present's worth saving
But the past is haunting me

I wanna live out of time
But I know it could run out
It could run out on me
I wanna love out of time
Wanna turn it around before it comes down on me
Find a way to rewind it
Stop it, deny it
I wanna live in the light but I know that I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' in and out of time

Time, you confuse me
You own every day
Patience, please heal me
Come take me away

I wanna live out of time
But I know it could run out
It could run out on me
I wanna love out of time
Wanna turn it around before it comes down on me
Find a way to rewind it
Stop it, deny it
I wanna live in the light but I know that I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' in and out of time

Time heals the fallin'
I hear the callin'
Clock strikes the hour
Don't run, don't cower

Time heals the fallin'
I hear the callin'

I wanna live out of time
But I know it could run out
It could run out on me
I wanna love out of time
Wanna turn it around before it comes down on me
Find a way to rewind it
Stop it, deny it
I wanna live in the light but I know that I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' in and out of time

"Wake Up"

Is anybody out there
You wonder as you close your eyes
Does anybody even care, anymore?

You're stuck inside the same dream
Waiting on the sun to rise
But deep inside your heart screams, for more

Wake up!
The story begins when we open our eyes
Chains will be broken and the dead will rise
This is the moment, we are alive, alive, alive
Wake up! We gotta wake up!
We gotta wake up! We gotta wake up!
We're coming to life
We're coming to life

Welcome to the nightmare
A state of complacency
But you don't wanna be here anymore

Wake up!
The story begins when we open our eyes
Chains will be broken and the dead will rise
This is the moment, we are alive, alive, alive
Wake up! We gotta wake up!
We gotta wake up! We gotta wake up!
We're coming to life

Wake up! We gotta wake up!
We gotta wake up! We gotta wake up!
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
We're coming to life
(Wake up)
We're coming to life
(Wake up) 

Okay, I realize I basically copied nearly all the lyrics off of his entire album, but the words are really that spectacular. I love it. I love finding bits and pieces of my soul in other peoples words. Makes me feel so much less alone. "Looking for my radio so I might find a heart to follow." Precisely.
