Every Sunday morning as I sit in the morgue Watching the sea of heads nod back and forth They cry how bad things have gotten in the past few years Then they walk out the door back to their chores Dead from ear to ear (Pre-chorus) You just can't go on and think that it’s all right Just sit back and let someone else fight What will it take to bring you back to life? To get you up and fight (Chorus) I'm gonna rattle your cage - don’t you see what’s happening here I'm gonna rattle your cage - your eyes are open but you just don’t care I'm gonna rattle your cage - you say "oh I want this world to change" I'm gonna rattle your cage - nothing’s gonna change if you just complain Politician one or politician two? They're gonna make it happen all for you Making laws you don’t believe in So you turn the tube off ' cause you had enough Back in your world again (Pre-chorus) (Chorus)

I've been a fool Lord, can you forgive me for what I have done I've been living my life by my own rules, I walked away from Your holy Son Oh God now I finally realize that there is only one thing I can do I repent from my sin, set me free once again, Lord myself I present unto you (Chorus) Here I am, take all of me, Send Your almighty power to come over me Here I am. Take all of me, You have given me everything I’ll ever need Forgive me You hold the answers Lord, the key to this human race To know that I’m safe and secure in You’re arms here on earth There is no better place Oh God give me faith to live by your Word glorify You in all that I do It is this that I pray, in Your arms I will stay My God I cry out to you (Chorus) (Bridge, solo) (Chorus)

A man walks into a corner grocery on 5th street Points his gun at the unsuspecting Says give me your money. Give it now But if you move I'll pump you full of lead to the ground With trembling hands, he's handed a bag of small bills That don't add up to his mainline price tag In a fit of rage he puts the barrel in the man's mouth Pulls the trigger and is off with a blood thirsty shout (Chorus) The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, oh yeah Next day he rises from his sleep full of hunger No money for food cause he spent it on dope So he goes in search for another unsuspecting He eyes a bank but invades without logic He saw who pushed the button, and gunned him down But he got caught this time how he's downtown So the court gives mercy to a still merciless man Out on parole years later the victim's forgotten (Chorus) Now he's out but it hasn't changed him a bit He's still the killer inside, and he'll steal in a minute That day a corner preacher said God can heal ya man Just get on your knees and ask forgiveness. He'll set ya free But he knows his way into a store where the money looks good But this time he's met by a suspecting man Who raises a gun but still not quick on the draw And is gunned down quickly his face filled with awe... (Chorus) The problem is not all that this man is sick For he doesn't fear a capital punishment He knows that the system seems more on his side To protect the guilty so the innocent must die

It was 11:30 when he decided to go home - shouldn't have been alone Didn't see the other driver, his vision blurred from liquor (No time to run) 90 miles an hour to the floor It sounded like thunder and then it blew into the fire And the other will never see the light again (Chorus) No time to run - cannot change what has been done No time to run - run away from what might not have been? No time to run - hey there man what have you done, cannot run It was the morning after, a mother mourning for her son She thought about her gun In a fit of rage, no one stops her now In the car she shouts "I’m gonna kill him" (No time to run) 90 miles an hour to the floor She storms in; she finds him, points the barrel at him She cries out loud "you killed my son" (Chorus)

Let me out I’m getting sick of it all Living loaded with my back on the wall Alter my state; make me irate I'm black 'n' blue, hell with you Life for me is so nice and wonderful Since I’ve been a killer that no one knows I seem all right but deep in fear Wish someone could get me out of here (Chorus) I'm a sick individual, sick like no one knows I'm a sick individual, my time to kill, and your time to go Look who's here now they have figured me out? Loaded shotguns surrounding my house Hey man get down on the floor now Can't escape, murder rape Life for me was so nice you understand No one got to see who I really am Not until I wake up in a cell Change is coming fast like a train to hell I'm a sick individual, sick like you all Know I’m a sick individual I love you momma, gotta go (lead) Life for me is so nice and locked up well Gideon's Bible's all I got in my cell Reading is much better than suicide But hell, I ain't ready, to meet God when I die I'm a sick individual. Sick but not for long I'm a sick individual until the doctor came along Realize that there's a God in the sky Realize it from the tears in my eyes No more blindness, no more sickness Forgive me. Enter me. Save me

You're the one that I love, my hideaway In the night I can find my heart a resting place From the world that can steal my dreams away So I’m on my way to You Take me to a higher ground fly me across your highway Lord I want to feel the sound fly me somewhere far away Through the cracks in the mirror I had to gaze On the road going nowhere I felt the pain Realized that I needed a place inside for you I'm on my way to you Take me to a higher ground fly me across your highway Lord I want to feel the sound fly me somewhere far away Shake the stars all around fly me somewhere far away Lord I want to feel the sound Fly me somewhere far away Late in my room - so real it changed my life I can feel You keeping my dreams alive Give me wisdom. Bright as the sun and moon Leave the light on; I’ll see ya soon
They came from everywhere growling just like bears Waiting for the go, the 're ready for rock n roll Like a hungry breed, feeding time 's a need Tonight they will be fed heaven for every head The crowd is loud enough feed to blow Feed the bears but don't give them rock and roll The building starts to shake walls begin to break The stage is gonna blow from the Spirit of God you know The bears are getting restless and the time has all but come Suddenly there’s a flash the fires have begun Growl and howl yell an roar Feed the bears and give 'em God's rock and roll Loose the shackles from my feet and shoulders And we'll feed the fire in the name of God Feed the bears a little fire from heaven And they'll know what power is in the name of God Hunger makes the wild roar Better keep em fed - rock n roll - with a little fire Loose the shackles from my feet and head And we'll feed the fire in the name of God Feed the bears a little fire from heaven And they'll know what power is - in the name of God

I lay here in the blackened night bitterness in my heart Feeling it grow stronger as I slowly die away But Jesus told me let it go and let it die I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life I remember the day so clearly I was hurt and at my low Some wrong words said, and man I was dead With pain I’d never know But Jesus told me let it go and let it die I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life And then He told me let it go and let it die... You got to forgive or you'll die inside I justified my angry life each and every day But as time went on, His Spirit was gone Alone and bitter and my God so far away But Jesus told me let it go and let it die I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life And then he told me let go let it die You got to forgive, you got to forgive You got to forgive or you'll die inside You got to forgive, you got to forgive You got to forgive or you'll die inside Let it go Let it die

Round and round I want to get it down And then we'll rock this town when my Love comes down Give me what I really want give me what I’m looking for And give me something that won't be gone When I walk outside that door, Give me something right now Give me what I’m dreamin' of Lord it's time for love Time for love Time for love Time for love Round and round it really gets around There's power to be found, can you hear it? Its name is love Got to get it into my soul, need a double shot of love And need the kind that'll still be there when the feeling's down below Time is here and right now, time for what I’m dreamin of Lord its time for love Time for love Time for love Time for love More than a feeling it's really love And it's more than I’ve felt before And it's easy to see on the day that I met my Lord Ain't nothin' better Than the kind I’m of dreamin' of, ya

I wasn't feelin' to well- a little hotter than hell And it was right about the midnight hour Saw a fisherman - he put his catch in my hand My soul was shaken just like lightning and thunder I saw a look in his eyes. It burned a hole in my mind The Son was rising, it was midnight baby I felt a surge in me, down to my knees, shakin' me (Pre-chorus) All night, my heart was really crying I’ve been on my own Midnight, broken love had found me, now I’m goin home (Chorus) Midnight Son - you're the light that surrounds me alone in the dark Midnight Son Midnight Son - you're the comfort that warms in the midnight hour Midnight Son Midnight Son Check my pulse and You'll see - just what has happened to me My blood is running like a mile-high river You brought me to my knees - You dropped me heaven's keys When it's open wide I’m gonna take a ride to Ya The things I thought were just fine have escaped my mind The point of no return has just been burned (Pre-chorus) (Chorus)
