Peace... is what they tell me
Love... am I unholy
Lies... are what they tell me
Despise... you that control me

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

Torn... I'm filthy
Born... in my own misery
Stole... all that you gave me
Control... you claim you save me

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far


Peace... in my head
Love... in my head
Lies... in my head

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Screams fill the room
Alone I drop and kneel

Silence now the sound
My breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around
My face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence
Expecting no return
Here there is no penance
My skin begins to burn

And I said oh

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh

All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance
See a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
On that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness
Only He holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
And grant me life eternally

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

And I said oh

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh

All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison

I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison

And I said oh

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh

All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

And I said oh

So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride

And I said oh

All held captive (I've created)
Out from the sun (I've created)
A sun that shines on only some (I've created)
We the meek are all in one (I've created my own prison)

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

Hurray for
A child that makes it through
If there's any way because
The answer lies in you
They're laid to rest before
They've known just what to do
Their souls are lost because
they could never find.

What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?

I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrists, I know your pain
I know the purpose on your plane
Don't say your last prayer because
you could never find

What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
I said of only just one king
One king
One king

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Cause we all live under the reign
I said of only just one king
One king
One king

Well they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Cause we all live under the reign
Of one king

Hey Mr. Seeker
Hold on to this advice
If you can seek then you will find
Don't want to follow
Down roads been walked before
So hard to find unopened doors

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Oh, I said
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Hey Mr. Hero
Walking a thin, fine line
Under the microscope of life
Remember your roots, my friend
They're right down below
'Cause heroes come and heroes go

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Oh, I said
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Countdown to the change in life that's soon to come

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Countdown to the change in life that's soon to come

Your life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Oh, I said
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Oh, I said
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come

Your life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun

When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake

So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay

Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets?

Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there
Let's make our escape
C'mon let's go there
Let's ask can we stay

Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher?
to a place with golden streets?

So let's go there
Let's go there
C'mon let's go there
Let's ask can we stay

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Sail up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine.

Sail up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine.

Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher?
to a place with golden streets?

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is gonna to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
under the sunlight
welcome to this place
i'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

I'll show you everything
Oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open

With Arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

With arms wide open
I'll show you everything oh yeah
With arms wide open
wide open

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

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

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...awaaaaaaayyy

Am I hiding in the shadows?
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows [2X]

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 [3X]

Am I hiding in the shadows?
Are we hiding in the shadows?

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

[Chorus]
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

Im 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

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.

'Cause 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
I just want to say hello again

'Cause 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.

'Cause 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.

My sacrifice (I just want to say hello again.)
I just want to say hello again.

My Sacrifice

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 maybe 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 yeah
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

'cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
It just won't heal
It just won't heal
No it just won't heal oh no no

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 yeah
I said sometimes I feel like giving up

Me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
And it just won't heal
It just won't heal no

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
I choose to fight
To fight

'cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't
Covered with skin that peels and it just won't
Covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal
