It's a world that won't let you feel You grow up very fast in sorrow The drinking damage a parent provokes Can ruin a child's tomorrow No no no no do you feel you're abused By a bottle of liquor The alcohol will cause the fall State of control It never wants to let you go State of control Like chains around your body and soul There's no support they don't care at all You're lonely cause you feel abandoned But there's a way To heal the pain With God again and again You know I know Keeping secrets from your friends That your mothers sick It's like I said being drunk is dead State of control It never wants to let you go State of control Like chains around your body and soul And the soul of your children You feel like you've always been walked on And frankly I don't blame you a bit I see your unhappiness and I say No no no no State of control It never wants to let you go State of control Like chains around your body and soul

Why did you wait Why did you hesitate We tried to warn you Now you're out of time You chose your own way Now your gonna pay The party's over And you've been left behind We tried to show you Gods love But you said I don't need We tried to help you to see You said He's not for me Don't wait Like a thief in the night You'd better turn on your light He might come back tonight Why did you run When God gave his only Son So you might have everlasting life Before it's too late There's a choice you've got to make If you receive Him You won't get left behind Let Jesus consume your mind Drink from the living well You will live forever, yes But if in heaven or hell Don't wait Like a thief in the night You'd better turn on your light He might come back tonight He's comin' back It's a matter of fact But we don't know when He's comin' again We tried to show you Gods love But you said I don't need Don't wait Like a thief in the night You'd better turn on your light He might come back tonight

It's been a few days Since you've left and said goodbye There's got to be a way To stop the pain inside Oh how I miss you baby Looking at the pictures in my hand Wondering if I'll see you Ever again I'm cryin' oh oh Can't you see my heart is breaking I'm cryin' oh oh But I get my strength from up above I'm cryin' oh oh My love she isn't taking I'm cryin' oh oh Over you It's been a few nights That I've spent my time at home But somehow I know I'm not in this alone Oh how I miss you baby Looking at the pictures in my hand Wondering if I'll see you Ever again I'm cryin' oh oh Can't you see my heart is breaking I'm cryin' oh oh But I get my strength from up above I'm cryin' oh oh My love she isn't taking I'm cryin' oh oh Over you Why don't you listen to reason There ain't no problem we can't solve This hard times only a season We've got to fight gotta fight for our love I'm cryin' oh oh Can't you see my heart is breaking I'm cryin' oh oh But I get my strength from up above I'm cryin' oh oh My love she isn't taking I'm cryin' oh oh Over you

L.A.'s the place of dreams Or so it seems Is there a place you're runnin' to Don't like it where you are Life is oh so hard You feel like runnin' somewhere new The things that wait for you Isn't what you want Who you think you'll be Is not who you'll become A face a face In the dark A face a face In the dark So when you left your home You didn't leave a note Were things there that bad It's lonely running blind You're running out of time My friend you look so sad The things that wait for you Isn't what you want Who you think you'll be Is not who you'll become The things that wait for you Isn't what you want Who you think you'll be Is not who you'll become A face a face In the dark A face a face In the dark

Good evening to all of you Well we hope you'll enjoy the show Tonite the music belongs To those of you who can rock and roll We came to play, this is your day, so get excited Stand up and rock, give all you got Let's feel the music Bring it home Staring out from backstage Minutes from the start of the show I'm ready to begin My adrenaline is starting to flow The crowd is getting louder And the stage is telling me now to energize Push into the fast lane Floor it to the metal as we soar to the sky Close your eyes and feel the music's power rising Making you feel good inside your mind and body The stage of intensity The surge of power in my blood A flash of lightnings coming down Escaping to the hungry crowd Where they receive it screaming loud There is a chemistry in here Intense enough to make them cheer (Till the end of next year) Living on the road Where we travel from your town to the next Doing what we love Making sure that we only give you the best And so to all the rockers, we salute you We are here for all of you Push into the fast lane, floor it to the metal I will scream for you Close your eyes and feel the music's power rising Making you feel good inside your mind and body The stage of intensity The surge of power in my blood A flash of lightnings coming down Escaping to the hungry crowd Where they receive it screaming loud There is a chemistry in here Intense enough to make them cheer (Till the end of next year) The man that plays the instrument can be a tool And so he is responsible for what he tells you Imagine you are standing on a stage The surge of power in my blood A flash of lightnings coming down Escaping to the hungry crowd Where they receive it screaming loud There is a chemistry in here Intense enough to make them cheer (Till the end of next year) Now it's time for you To respond by getting very loud Captured by the mood of the song That we will play for you now You act as the jury in the court Of rock and roll all will rise Push into the fast lane, floor it to the metal Now, scream to the sky

Take what you can Try to take it all That's what you were taught When you were small Something for nothing Just ain't the way Everything you got Had a price to pay Who can you believe When you turn your back Who can you believe When you're being told Hard lies hard lies They seem to surround our lives Hard lies hard lies Like the chill of a cold, dark night People look at you Right in the eyes Calling you 'friend' While they tell you lies Taking from you All that they can Making you feel Like a lesser man Who can you believe When you turn your back Who can you believe When you're being told Hard lies hard lies They seem to surround our lives Hard lies hard lies Like the chill of a cold, dark night

Seven years later, I'm still at war The flesh and the spirit try to even the score I thought in time it would go away But the fight gets stronger day after day I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout I'm the one that wins without a doubt The victories mine in this inner war And I won't be a slave to the flesh no more I do the things I don't want to do The good in me fights to come through It took some time but I realized That when I don't sin I'm satisfied I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout I'm the one that wins without a doubt The victories mine in this inner war And I won't be a slave to the flesh no more I'm on my knees asking right from wrong I look to the God who makes me strong I don't live in fear of what I do I got a spirit of fire that knows the rules I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout I'm the one that wins without a doubt The victories mine in this inner war And I won't be a slave to the flesh no more

She was strange and so I loved her Her red hair a blaze of fire Boy, she melted all my wires She is mine I'm in love At full volume I believe She's the one for me She's the beauty queen of my dreams She's the star in all my movies She's the song that sings my feelings She is mine I'm in love At full volume I believe She's the one for me I recall the night we married Moved together me and my lady I enjoy her, Lord I loved her She is mine I'm in love At full volume I believe She's the one for me

You're lucky you were born You might not have been All people in this world Have a right to live Your bigotry is hell for The other man Who's color of skin by the way you just might have been The racist rambles on To tell what good he's done His pride and arrogance Has made him smaller And so the bigot falls Hippocracy's black walls Cave in on his unworthy head Who, who are you Are, bigotry man You, you think you are better than them Your not Men who are not like you are of lower form Men who don't look like you should of not been born The selfish man that hates knows not what is love Eventually he'll live all the things he's said and done Who, who are you Are, bigotry man You, you think you are better than them Your not The racist rambles on To tell what good he's done His pride and arrogance Has made him smaller And so the bigot falls Hippocracy's black walls Cave in on his unworthy head Who, who are you Are, bigotry man You, you think you are better than them Your not

Two thousand years ago there came a man A man who was hated and loved, worshiped and killed But what was this man all about and what did he do? What made him different and why did his name live on too? For me to live is Christ, to die is gain There's no other name by which I?m saved I've got the power, it's in my sights Because with him I?m not afraid to die Now I will disclose his name, it's Jesus Christ Why did he come just to die and how did he rise? Why is our system of dating based on one man's death? And why is the world upside down 'cause of one man's life? For me to live is Christ, to die is gain There's no other name for which I?m saved I've got the power, it's in my sights Because with him I?m not afraid to die Now I must warn you they'll tell you don't need God They are the foolish and they are the ones who will burn, burn in hell But if you accept Him, you'll be born again Do it now, you will live Feel the power of God like lead Feel the metal from inside my head Feel the steel, take his flight For when it leaves, Heaven will be in sight If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord And if you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead Then you will be saved and forgiven, you just have to ask He'll never leave or forsake you, his promise is fact For me to live is Christ, to die is gain There's no other name by which I?m saved I've got the power, it's in my sides Because with him I'm not afraid to die
