Testimony 2
Love knocked upon my door one day In the midst of my suffering Lost at the core I turned away When the illusion meant everything As the winter of my dreams died down I turned to hear a different sound In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy street Long, long ago I held on tight Life was all about making it Then came the time of the cold dark night Disappointment had taken it I would not have my day in the sun But at least I could have some fun! In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy street As the day goes down, slowly slipping now There's a time of a brighter knowing Inner places reach, trying hard to breach There's so much that we cannot understand In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street You can rest when the day is done But your're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy street

The time changer, tapping on my shoulder Now is later, the past is just an epitaph The time changer, warmer now it's colder Highlight shader, take me back into the past Time changer, Time changer Change the time, Change the time Time changer, Time changer Change the time, Send the sign, Take my mind... As the change came down And the night began to fade I was leaving town for the money to be made Spock's was the new kid in town Could I still make the grade? I got the steady gig that I never really had Playin' every week with the Burdon band (Eric's Burdon's band) I got the house, the gig, and the fam, so strike up the band! Time changer, Time changer Change the time, Change the time Busy with my writing and playing on the road I'd take my wife to church if I ever was at home Good luck you Christians, that's nice, but I gotta go Spock's was taking off and we took what we could grab The retrograde applause gave us more than we had planned Just crank up the tron and I sang with all that I had With all that I had! Never were we so surprised To seize the day from where we had come Sun and moon both crystallized It was better late Our date with the sun As we were going to who knows where Up it was coming and all for the one! Never were we so surprised To seize the day from where we had come Sun and moon both crystallized It was better late Our date with the sun Time changer, Time changer Change the time, Change the time Time changer, Time changer Change the time, Send the sign, Take my mind...

The sun crossed a field to a pale gray Time was torn apart The doctor said things weren't all okay She was born with a broken heart Jayda a song to my soul Jayda Your daddy's here he'll never let you go There was nothing to do, but just sit and wait Will she make it through today? My wife laid our baby at heaven's gate And gave her heart... in trade Crying Jayda Lord make her whole But Jayda Your mommy knows she has to let you go The testers kept testing for very long With no word to console They searched and they searched But found nothing wrong 'Cause they couldn't find the hole Jayda a song to my soul Oh Jayda the Father's come and he has healed you Jayda it's not time to go Oh Jayda the father's come and he has made you whole

We were rockin', we were rockin' We were rockin', we were rockin' We were rockin', we were rockin' rockin', rockin', rockin' I was drunk when I heard about her healing When the phone rang I fell out of bed When I got the news it blew out a fuse in my head I was out there all alone at three in the morning At an east European hotel We were rockin' the blues Blowing out the tubes as we yelled Oh yeah, oh yeah The nighttime collectors were feeling no pain Oh yeah, oh yeah How could I know how soon this all would change? Oh yeah The first thing I said is "I don't believe it" Then fear gripped my heart and held on I'd rather just grieve than start to believe and be wrong "Well, all I can tell you is what they told me" My wife said and said it once more Her heart looks alright They've seen nothing like it before Oh yeah, oh yeah The nighttime collectors were feeling no pain Oh yeah, oh yeah How could I know how soon this all would change? Oh yeah

While I was playing rock n' roll Wondering if His way was the way Hey, hey, hey He was breaking protocol Moving me each step of the way... Hey, hey, hey He would say Will you go this way? Hey, hey, hey Perhaps your time has come today Time has come today So, He kept reaching out to me Though I never said I would go... Ho, ho, ho The God of the whole universe loved me Though I was a bit slow, I don't know Would you go? Will you go this way? Hey, hey, hey Perhaps your time has come today Time has come today C'mon Will you go this way? Hey, hey, hey Perhaps your time has come today Time has come today Maybe it's your time today Time has come today

The storm before me stands upon the water I've been sailing in my ship toward dry land Wounded, scarred, and sad and disillusioned And the world just said "too bad" and let me stained But where is the rain? Where is the rain? Where is the rain that's supposed to wash away my pain? Will I remain Tied to this chain? Still there's a song of freedom calling me again Come on son you've been on the run But the shore awaits you now Set your heart on the highest part And you'll make it there somehow The sea you'll leave behind when all your fears have been released And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free Catapulting out towards the future The desert wind blow hot upon the sand At least in my own ship I have authority I'll carve a future with my own bare hands But where is the rain? Where is the rain? Where is the rain that's supposed to wash away my pain Still He is here Still He is here Still there's a song of freedom calling me again Come on son you've been on the run But the shore awaits you know Set your heart on the highest part And you'll make it there somehow The sea you'll leave behind And I will give perfect peace And you will know the truth, And the truth will set you free I surrender all I surrender all of to my love The highest measure of my gain I surrender all Oh, I surrender all to you my love Just stop this haunting in my brain, brain... hey! Come on son you've been on the run But the shore awaits you know Set your heart on the highest part And you'll make it there somehow The sea you'll leave behind And I will give you perfect peace And you will know the truth, And the truth will set you free You will know the truth, And the truth will set you free

I wish that I could tell you I'd turned right then And never looked back again It took a little while to work things out I had my life I had my doubts I'd rather stay in here with the pain I know Then step into the outside chance of a lifetime I'd rather stay in here with the pain I know Then step into the outside chance of a lifetime So I continued on in my opposite life Church by day, bars by night And as the time went on and I felt the change More and more, but I felt strange Cause I'd rather stay in here with the pain I know Then step into the outside chance of a lifetime I'd rather stay in here with the pain I know Then step into the outside chance of a lifetime Cause what if it's a trick I'm feeling And I start leaning and he hangs me out to dry? What if I just think he's steering But I'm just hearing the voice of my evil mind? Cause what if it's a trick I'm feeling And I start leaning and he hangs me out to dry? What if people think I'm crazy to turn 180 (degrees) And give my entire life? What'll people think? What if it's a lie?

Out on the road for thirty days With lightning in my head My dream life had become a maze Just about left me dead Jesus, Jesus, I don't wanna leave my family all alone Jesus, Jesus, The only way to make the rent is on the road If You really are the King I've never known Jesus bring me home At the Day's Inn in Boston I couldn't take it any more As the clock flashed in the darkness I got down on the floor Crying Jesus, Jesus, I don't wanna hurt my family any more Jesus, oh Jesus, Will You help me and get me off the road? If You really are the King I've never known Oh Jesus bring me home It's all I can do to get up in the morning And get through another day Will the real God please stand up There's so many people who say they know the way But I want the truth, come back it up I'm tired of living in a constant state of prayer I don't care what they say I really want to know the way

Two weeks after I got home I heard the news Metal Blade sent a deal that we could not refuse God had showed his hand but now I had to choose Singin' thank you all for helping me But home is where I'd rather be What's down the road I can't see But I've got another destiny to choose No more road dog blues No more road dog blues So I quit my traveling with the Burdon band My wife and I put the house and car in better hands And we set out not knowin' if we'd sink or stand Singing' thank you Lord for helping me 'Cause home is where I'd rather be What's down the road I can't see But I've got another destiny to choose No more road dog blues No more road dog blues I'm coming home! No more road dog blues

Crossing Over And so the journey starts Communion of our hearts He led me to a place beside the water And as our season grew The time came when I knew My path led from among my band of brothers And I can't describe how hard it was Or how much we loved each other... But to go on with the summer On with the tide To go on I must surrender The fullness of my life And I'll love you forever But I must say goodbye To go on I must cross over A voice says deep inside Carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on And so he brought me to a life I never knew He's leading me to the bridge across forever He saved the saddest one Who thought his life was done He gave me a new heart just like my daughter And he's blessed me more than I can tell And now all that I desire... Is to go on with the summer, on with the tide To go on I must surrender The fullness of my life And I'll love you forever But I must say goodbye To go on I must cross over A voice says deep inside Carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on To go on with the summer On with the tide To go on I must surrender Everything inside To go on to forever Where all tears are dried When it comes to crossing over I'll hear you deep inside Say carry on (On to forever) (I am willing) Carry on (On with the tide) (I am broken) Carry on (On to forever) (I am willing) Carry on (Where all tears are dried) (I am broken) Carry on to the heart of the sun Mercy Street Reprise Love knocked upon my door one day In the midst of my suffering How can a dream so far away Become a blazing reality⦠YEAH! In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street We're awaiting to become one But we LOVE For now As the snow falls Down on mercy street

Long ago and far away I let you down; I let love lay And I could look the other way And go about my working day My heart was jaded to the core A professional amateur Like everything's been done before But today I feel better 'Cause I feel like an absolute beginner Like this is the first day of a whole new life And I know this love is gonna deliver Like an absolute beginner Everything is new And it's all because of you I was told on my Daddy's knee That life would give no guarantee But knowing that you're there for me Is dancing on my destiny I cannot keep this in my mind I've never been the silent kind I want to tell those left behind Good things are 'round the corner [CHORUS] Let your love come tumblin' down It's never felt so real as right now [CHORUS (to end)]

When the music fades And no one cares or really understands I'll be there to take your hand And when the last note plays And no one's there and you want to run and hide I will still be by your side Singing in that voice you hear inside When my heart is on the line Winter days or bright sunshine You're the window on the wall When my hope is fading fast You're like rain upon the grass And the wonder of it all Your love sustains... It's supernatural, supernatural, yeah When your time has come And you can feel your spirit slip away I'll be there to make your day And when your mind is gone And life itself is about to take the dive That's the moment I'll arrive And we'll know what it means to be alive [CHORUS] After the music fades we walk by candlelight But somehow the music reaches far beyond our sight [CHORUS (to end)]

Sowing in the fields of gray and far from home In a place of no return Feeling like you might be in a danger zone Before the fire starts to burn Look away - to a place where this war is worlds away When it's all about you and it's not about me To a place where you know you'll be OK And it's all about you and you get it for free And I have my whole life in front of me As the world keeps moving on it's time to change Bring the changes to the front Maybe this is only in my mind today But I can change it if i want Look away - to a place where this war is worlds away When it's all about you and it's not about me In a place where you'll always want to stay When it's all about you and you get it for free And I have my whole life in front of me There's a place for me in the city of light if I'm found there There's a chance to be and I think that I might understand there There's a place for me in the city of light if I'm found there There's a chance to be and I think that I might understand there Run, baby, run, chase the dragons once more Have fun in the sun, scrape for a little bit more They can love you to death But one thing's for sure I'll still love you more Go, baby, go, come on and work it on out 'Cause it's all just a show, that's what life's all about You can grind down the wheel 'til you can't feel no more But I'll still love you more I'll still love you more Take, baby, take, 'til there's nothin' to give Life on the make, sure ain't no way to live You can run 'til you drop, burn down every door But I'll still love you more I'll still love you more This is the day all your life you've looked forward To when you'd get lucky; take life for a ride But now that it's here it's the great disappointment You find yourself empty and lonely inside Like the spark that was in you was lost and quietly died But there's a homecoming beyond the danger zone Where you never feel alone And tomorrow feels like home Yes, there's a homecoming that they can't take away Like a child gone far away Come on home, it'll be OK Tried tribulation at first it was nothing Like nothing before you could turn back the tide But now that you're older you're like the new husband Who lifts up the veil from off of his bride And finds she's not quite the young girl that he had in mind But there's a homecoming beyond the danger zone Where you never feel alone And tomorrow feels like home Yes, there's a homecoming when you'll admit you're wrong When you're tired and you've lived too long Come on home where you belong There's a homecoming beyond the danger zone Where you never feel alone And tomorrow feels like home Yes, there's a homecoming where there's no fear or pride Your senses open wide This home is on the inside As the world keeps moving on it's time to change And this change is from the heart Sowing down the seeds of gold remove the chains I think now's the time to start Look away - to a place where this war is worlds away When it's all about you and it's not about me To a place where you know you'll be OK And it's all about you and you get it for free And I have my whole life in front of me Look away - to a place where this war is worlds away When it's all about you and it's not about me To a place where you'll always want to stay When it's all about you and you get it for free And I have my whole life in front of me Submits, comments, corrections are welcomed at webmaster@darklyrics.com NEAL MORSE LYRICS
