Carrying the past upon my shoulders Shame that weighs me down like a boulder Underneath I'm calling out Carrying my shame Put myself through pain In the end You will take the blame pain and suffering my heroes The greatest sacrifice becomes a zero Underneath I'm calling out Carrying my shame Put myself through pain In the end You will take the blame Carrying my shame Suffering is vain In the e...

What can I tell You Lord That You don't already own? What can I tell You Lord That You don't already know? I know I'm lost, I know I'm blind I hope You can see I'm not hiding behind my pride I know I fell, I know I'm down And making this deal is my only out Chorus: I'd like to trade it in My crimson for downy flake I'd like to trade it in My rags for riches in grace What can I do for You That ...

There's just one Paris One La Rochelle There's just one Heaven There's just one Hell I ain't been around the world But I've seen enough to know what I believe To be truth And I have decided for me But I can't decide it for you Now there was just one Adam And just one Eve Just one garden And one forbidden tree You know I've made some big mistakes But I've seen enough to know what I believe To b...

I'm trusting you, You've changed my view I'm seeing things like I've never wanted to Been through hell, but I don't trust me so Don't let go if I let go Don't let go if I let go Who was I don't recognize A single feature on that awful creature Yet what seems a mile can be a mite away Don't let go if I let go Don't let go if i let go Penniless, my mind's a mess I cash You in on a lie that's dre...

In the race I once was running Now I'm only standing still Almost sleeping At a crossroads Yesterday the path was easy But today, it's all uphill And this burden once gone Now reappears Draw me back Draw me back And the echoes of a voice Far away that once was near Whisper gently Words I'm longing to hear Draw me back Draw me back I might dare to point my finger But my choices brought me here ...

One hand holds everything The other thinks it's not enough Groping blindly for alternatives Enticed to senselessly indulge The hand with everything Let go to lend the other aid Too ashamed to face reality They folded hands and sealed their fate Chorus: When dissension sings, rebellion runs around The consequence it brings, never slows them down They never thought they would be found But they w...

Mary's boat has sprung a leak Snd she's told she won't finish the race Her mind intent on getting home She never slows her pace Chorus: Look at Mary row She's got a long long way to go Look at Mary Look at Mary's boat Only her faith has kept it afloat Look at Mary Quickly filling, though she's not willing To let this trouble have its own way The more she believes, the more water that leaves Th...

With empty pockets full of laughter I set my eyes on bars of gold Went to the market of hereafter Where truths are bought and lies are sold It would hurt to hear that I was after Half a million dollars every year If I ever traded truth for laughter I'd forgotten why I was put here I gave up looking for some meaning Within the vault of old cliches And pocket change could buy no healing For all ...

Looking at the starfish Stranded on the beach Reminds me of the homeless Standing on the street Feeling the wind that I can't see Hearing it moving through the trees You can't hold the sun You can't stop the rain All you've left to do is Hold the hand that can Looking at the flowers Flattened by the storm Thinking of the cities Trampled by the wars Feeling the rain upon my face Knowing that I ...

Danger ahead It's always been said The night is watching, waiting For us to turn its way instead And when the day is over The very thoughts I fear Have come to visit me so clear Beyond the third dimension Beyond what I can see I cannot touch what touches me Under my skin The feelings begin I know you're there, I sense you The air is thick where it was thin So I rebuke the darkness And I lift u...
