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.
