Creed


Higher


When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of
this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake


So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?


Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets


Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate


So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?


Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first
time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these
dreams
And make them mine


What's This Life For


Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you


They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they
could never find


What's this life for


I see your soul, it's kind of gray
I see your heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find


What's this life for


But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king


My Own Prison


A court is in session, a verdict is in
no appeal on the docket today
just my own sin
the walls are cold and pale
the cage made of steal
screams fill the room
alone I drop and kneel


Silence now the sound
my breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around
my face showing no emotion
Shackeled by my sentence
expeting no return
Here there is no penence
my skin begins to burn


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


I hear a thunder in the distance
see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness
only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
and grant me life eternally


Should have been dead
on a sunday morning
banging my head
No time for mourning
ain't got no time


Should have been dead
on a sunday morning
banging my head
No time for mourning
ain't got no time


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


I cry out to God
seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and conferms
i've created my own prison


I cry out to God
seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and conferms
i've created my own prison


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


Should have been dead
on a Sunday Morning
banging my head
no time for mourning
ain't got no time


What if


I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
I've lost sense of time and all seasons
I feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out


What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?


I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on


What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?


I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question
What if?


What if your words could be judged like a crime?


With Arms Wide Open


Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face


With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open


Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life


With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open


If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...


My Sacrifice


Hello my friend we meet again
It's been a while where should we begin
Feels like forever
With in my heart are memory
Of perfect love that you gave to me
Oh I remember


Chorus
Cause when you are with me I'm Free
I'm careless I believe
Above of the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice


We've seen our shares of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
within yourself and within mind
lets find peace then


Repeat Chorus


I just want to say hello again(2x)


Chorus(2x)


I just want to say hello again(2x)


My sacrifice


Bullet


Walking around I hear the sounds of the earth seeking relief
I’m trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side(2x)
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot ‘cause they want it(3x)


I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that’s dead


Look at me…look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet
through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head


In my lifetime when I’m disgraced
By jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud ‘cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else’s mind


Look at me…look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet
through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head


Hey all I want is what’s real
Something I touch and can feel
I’ll hold it close and never let it go
Said why…why do we live life
With all this hate inside
I’ll give it away ‘cause I don’t want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away I’ll go and you’ll never see
me again


One Last Breath


Please come now I think I’m falling
I’m holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I’m trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say


Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down


I’m looking down now that it’s over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say


Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down


Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there’s something left for me
So please come stay with me
‘Cause I still believe there’s something left for
you and me
For you and me
For you and me


Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking

Back
