Red colonial houses lining all the snow white streets.
Working out all our problems there in the back of the house where the ghosts all sleep.
I know it's impossible but you should try to shake it off.
With that shot to the chest, boy.
I think they're gonna make you start over
You don't want to start over
Put your backpack on your shoulder
Be the good little soldier
Take your places now
'Cause we're all predisposed
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
A-traveling through this world below
But there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I woke up with the power out,
Nothing something to shout about.
Ice has covered up my parents’ hands
Don’t have any dreams don't have any plans.
I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are swingin' from the power lines,
Nobody’s home, so nobody minds.
And the power's out in the heart of man,
Take it from your heart put in your hand.
And there's something wrong in the heart of man,
Take it from your heart and put it in your hand!
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
This is the place where all
The devils plead
Their case to take from you
What they need
Can I isolate your gene
Can I kiss your Dopamine
I don't want to say it
If it isn't so
I don't want to weigh it
But I've got to know
I saw you out there in the fray
Caught in a flashing ray
Don't be scared of anything at all
Everything we have is all we need
All the spotlights streaming into angry skies
Means there's no one watching as we leave
Say the first thing that
Comes into your mind when you see me
If it looks like it works and it feels like it works
Then it works
With the sun on your face
All these worries will soon disappear
Just follow me now
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way
It should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothin' new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
When everything is wrong I'll come talk to you
You make things all right when I'm feeling blue
You are such a blessing and I won’t be messing
With the one thing that brings light to all my darkness
You're my best friend
And I love you, and I love you
Yes I do
Maybe I have been here before
I know this room, I have walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and its a broken 'Hallelujah'
Father lead me down to the river
Wash me in the water 'til I'm whiter than snow
I know I'm not worthy
But tell me there's mercy for the wanderin' soul
I lost my way but now I'm on my knees
If it's not too late won't you tell me please
You gotta place for me
A little grace for me
Father meet me in the cool green valley
In all of your glory when my days are done
Name me as one of your chosen
Heaven's unbroken prodigal son
Maybe sparrow, you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning
Oh, my sparrow, it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning
Don’t the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know you're closed-eye watching me,
Listening
I thought I saw a smile
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
