LYRICS
1. Freedom
It's been feelin' like a battle
more and more when I go outside
People bound and shackled down
to a track we're callin' life
I'm wanting free
Freedom
I escape to my imagination now
just to get me by
But gettin' by just to fall in line
not quite what I had in mind
Oh, I'm wanting free
Freedom
Til the constant learns to change
I'm gonna get away
(Chorus)
I'm going wild
for me
I'm going wild
completely
When that sun comes up I'm taking off
Gonna make the train jump its track
No more fighting for survival
No more taking another's path
Oh, I'm wanting free
Freedom
Til that constant learns to change
I'm gonna get away
(Repeat Chorus)
In life there ain't no second chance
no time to do it again
So take your risks and take your chance
And break far from that plan
and run free
Til that constant learns to change
I'm gonna get away
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm going wild
For me
--------------------
4. On My Own
Let's begin, where we start
is on that line between
your passion and tryin' to be something you're not
meant to be
As you move on slowly
your clock ticks on
there's no time to stall
and no way to turn it all around
if you're wrong
(Chorus)
But I can't deny it
for too long
you know I'm trapped in it now
What I give
is a lifetime and then some
As you sway side-to-side now
you're balancing over
only dreams
and wondering just how bold and brave
crazy can be
(Chorus)
Still I'm hopin' it all
won't fall down it won't crumble
I'm regretting now
everything I gave and what I'm paying for
when I said
I can make it on my own
The choice is yours
but be cautioned
if you choose wrong
and bet it all
you might just learn how naive
all that hope can be
(Repeat Chorus)
Still I'm hopin' it all
won't fall down it won't crumble
I'm regretting now
everything I gave and what I'm paying for
when I said
I can make it on my own
2. In the Middle
I've got this feelin'
I'm not the only one no more
who is out to settle every score
who is demanding be fair
To the us that
were maybe given less than chance
or the we that privilege can't advance
I'm coming for theirs
(Chorus)
From the ones who rule with an upper hand
and those who are giving it all to chance
til that world keeps spinnin'
I can't keep letting them win
You've got this way with your words
I swear you're tauntin' me
maybe you're just wanting me to be crazy
and out of control
So you can disassociate yourself
put it all on someone else
then blame when it's wrong
(Repeat Chorus)
I think you're underestimating this overtaking
baby, hesitating won't be making
any of us ever come clean
So before you're off to declare war
divide ourselves up even more
stand in the middle and rise
(Repeat Chorus)
Until that whole world shifts
In the middle is where I stand
--------------------
5.Thy Will Be Done
Forgiving rain
falling gently on my skin
are you washing
are you washing me clean
Cuz I've been sick
and need to be redeemed now
so wash me
wash me clean I pray
All I've found
another victim to the ground
from this disease
this disease driving us all mad
Voices cryin' out
Oh God, save me
but silence
silence is all we hear
Thy will be done
(Chorus)
Silence
I can't take no more
No heavens
No heavens are calling us home
Violence
I can see around me
It's coming
It's coming for me right now
Sing softly to me
Amazing Grace
I can know I'll be found
Lie your hands upon me
Blessed are they pure of heart
For they will come to know God
Thy will be done
(Repeat Chorus)
So, my will be done
3. Paradox
Returning exhausted from a path I
traveled through
A journey I called life and I
shared with you
Love was leading us no matter how
young and blind
When we got lost we left our
ever-after behind
(Chorus)
All that I need to know
is were you ever even really there
All that I need to know
is were you ever even really there
All that I need
Is truth really just for those
who believe
Is honest only for those you don't know
to deceive
Is a promise kept if you don't know
when it breaks
Do we give forever knowing
it's a time we cannot make
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Is a love that won't hurt
A love that won't shame me for who I am
A love that won't laugh
and leave me for better because they can
So coping to lessons that life isn't
as it seems
and love may be only for fairytales
and those who dream
And trusting is entering a battle
unarmed and alone
and real isn't real
it's a paradox that we'll
never know
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Is a love that won't hurt
A love that won't laugh
A love that won't shame me for who I am
--------------------
6. Cry
Try
is all I can do
In times
when fairness won't come through
I saw my world collapse
as I became
the victim of consequence
consumed with blame
I confessed
a secret I should not have shown
My truth
was more diseased
than I could have ever known
I watched it spread and infect
all those I loved
til I was forced to face
life alone
(Chorus)
Oh, I've been there before
pounding that door screaming
let me in
but no one ever came
so all I'm saying is sometimes
all you can do is cry
Losing yourself
to the curse of worthlessness
Disguising all you can
trying just to fit in
Leaves a wound that swells
when you recognize
the only place you're safe
is where you hide
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
