I've been running nowhere street I've got to mend my bloody feet I've thrown away ten thousand days I've hidden black and white and painted gray In my weakness, out of pride I failed to see the other side It's a lost and broken war That I won't fight for anymore [Chorus:] Where did I go wrong? A shattered life, a wasted song I composed, I lived and wrote each one What is destiny? To Live and Love and Die Honorably So I'll trade My Eclipse for The Son I want to make a difference I want my life to make some sense Cause when it's all over I will have to answer for myself I'm tearing down my rotten fence And burying my weak defense I want to crossover Its time to take my heart off of the shelf [Chorus]

We've been on the outside looking in before We've lived on the inside with a closed locked door We've slept in the corners of the open floor We go round and round and round and round and round and round and round [Chorus:] There's no strength in a unicorn No luck in a 4 Leaf Clover There's no life unless it's born And no death when it's over We've listened with open ears yet closed our minds We've loved without any tears from our own eyes We've gone to the parties in our cheap disguise We go round and round and round and round and round and round and round [Chorus] There's no strength in a unicorn No luck in a 4 Leaf Clover There's no life unless it's born And no death when it's over [Chorus]

Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying Future's coming much too slow And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin' Can't decide on which way to go Yeah, yeah, yeah I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind. Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder Hope it doesn't take too long Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter Come a day when you'll be gone I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind. Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin' Doesn't mean too much to me Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin' Can't decide who they should be. I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind. Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. Look ahead.

Listen, birds don't sing anymore Waves don't crash on the shore 'Cause You don't love me anymore See, the morning sun doesn't shine And the moon's nowhere to find 'Cause You don't love me anymore [Chorus:] Then I realize - I'm Alive, I'll survive I was only dreaming that our love died I'm Alive, I'll survive I'll never stop believing Feel, there's no wind in my hair There's no warmth from the sun's glare 'Cause You don't love me anymore Stand, there's no ground to walk on There's no one to lean upon 'Cause You don't love me anymore [Chorus] Then I realize - I'm Alive, I'll survive I was only dreaming that our love died I'm Alive, I'll survive I'll never stop believing or deny [Chorus] Listen, the birds are singing once more The waves are crashing on shore 'Cause You love me....

Ten years ago I know I loved You so Right here, Right now I just don't know I've tried, I've lied I've told the truth at times I've laughed, I've cried I've slept with open blinds Where do I go from here? I've gotta crucify my fear [Chorus:] I want to be the man, the one I know You see I want to live the plan, the one with You and me I'm worn, I'm torn I'm sheared from side to side But Your love, Your light Is something I won't hide I wanna go somewhere from here So I can sail a sky that's clear [Chorus] I want to be the man, The One I know You see I want to live The Plan, The One with You and me [Chorus]

Saturday night's a lie, I follow every cue Sunday is sanctified, I smile and take the pew Monday it's back to school - Am I learning, not at all Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday I just crawl [Chorus:] Gotta fight, gotta stop living a lie Gotta fall, gotta lay down and die Gotta stand and run to the other side Gotta live or it's Murder By Pride Seeds that were growing have been dried up by my flesh I walk the walk and talk the talk but where's the rest I could have everything even what's behind the stars But I built my prison without windows, without bars [Chorus] Gotta fight, gotta stop living a lie Gotta fall, gotta lay down and die Gotta stand and run to the other side Gotta live or it's Murder By Pride [Chorus]

Love saves the soul Hate kills the heart Fear robs the goal Hope gives a start Forgiveness is a gift Bitterness a chain The ugliness we sift His beauty still remains [Chorus:] When we all reach Heaven There will be no shame 'Cause when we stand before Him He will know each name It's all about believing He died and took the pain When we all reach Heaven It's Mercy Over Blame Faith heals the scars That pride has brought upon Grace will be ours When all we have is gone [Chorus] When we all reach Heaven There will be no shame 'Cause when we stand before Him He will know each name It's all about believing He died and took the pain When we all reach Heaven It's Mercy Over Blame

If I see You standing, one hundred stars away It feels as though You're touching me If I am landing, with a stormy night delay It's You I want, it's You I need When I'm lost I close my eyes And suddenly I'm home [Chorus:] I just wanna run in You I just wanna hide in You I just wanna come to You And not thirst anymore I just wanna walk with You I just wanna ride with You I just wanna talk to You And not thirst anymore I feel demanding, I know I'm selfish too I often live in my own world I've been commanding, it's my way or we're through If I am sand, you are the pearl When I'm found I open my eyes And it's You I see [Chorus]

I woke up at six a.m., and took a look at me All I was, all I am, I refuse to be Within a simple breath, I taste my destiny Before I lose what's left, I want my heart to see [Chorus:] Love is why I live, Love is why I die It's what I give, and yet what I deny It's what I need, it's how I will survive Love Is Why I can read, I can write, but still I'm deaf and blind All the things I've discerned, I've given up to find The only thing that sets me free is a mystery Worth more than anything, throughout my history [Chorus] Love is patient, Love is Kind, Love - it has no pride Love will wait forever, Love won't hide Love is patient, Love is Kind, Love - it has no pride Love will wait forever, Love won't hide [Chorus]

You know I really love you Your love is beautiful, lasting and true. I've searched for a true love for such a long, long time Now, my search has ended, yes, cause you are mine. [Chorus:] I'll always love you and I'll always tell you so As long as I'm with you, my love I'll always show Whenever I'm sad and feeling real blue I begin to feel happy as I sit and think of you. I think of your face and your personality. You are so beautiful, you mean everything to me. [Chorus]
