Request the honor of your presence The tear gas has blown away Put down your crumpets and your coffee now So unfashionably late Little brother, little sister Underwater we go Out of our ordinary selves Stepping out To where the people sing Woohoooooooooo -and the people sing -and the times are good You say I'm acting like a beggar I call it killing the fool You carry more baggage Than a momma's boy On your first day of school Little brother, little sister Underwater we go Out of our ordinary selves Stepping out To where the people sing Woohoooooooooo -and the people sing -and the times are good Let go the light of the TV Drop the hands The chains that bind me Turn it all around stop Lift you up 'n die to self In a time when the left and the right's the same When it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze Send out the invitations! Woohoooooooooo -and the people sing -and the times are good You say I'm acting like a beggar I call it killing the fool To save your life you gotta lose it So the people sing |

I say hello To anyone who's listening Put on a show If that's what makes your ears prick This microphone Will take a word and make it bigger Oh hello So here goes Steppin' right up to the microphone I say hey man! There's only one way! One God one body one faith alone If you don't know Then ya need to be told! I said hey, boy It's a narrow road I say hello to anyone who's listening The message ain't nothing new I don't decide what's true So when the stones get thrown They either miss or they turn to glory Here's the story as far as I know Steppin' right up to the microphone I say hey man! There's only one way! One God one body one faith alone If you don't know Then ya need to be told! I said hey, boy It's a narrow road Steppin' up I don't step alone The question is "How do we know what we know?" The answer is so plain to me So here I go Tap the mic "Test 1,2,3" Steppin' right up to the microphone I say hey man! There's only one way! One God one body one faith alone If you don't know Then ya need to be told! I said hey, boy It's a narrow road |

One to another Do you remember me? I feel so small Are you listening tonight? So temporary Things that I have seen I ran so far Will you take me back again Entertaining angels By the light of my tv screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me One to another The feelings in between I won't let go Of all you taught me Alright Close as a brother The way we used to be I'll hold my breath And wait for you to breathe Entertaining angels By the light of my tv screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my tv screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my tv screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my tv screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me |

As I lay me down Where do I begin So simply complicated The voice within I hear it singing so clear Invisible like the sound of the wind We all know You are there I just believe I just believe it And sometimes I dunno why I gotta go with my gut again On this one Not just a feeling It's the reason We know a line is crooked 'Cause we know what's straight That little voice inside As I lay me down I confess I'm a fool for you No more, no less And in this world turning gray Strikes a chord when I say There is black There is white There is wrong And there is right I just believe I just believe it And sometimes I dunno why I gotta go with my gut again On this one Not just a feeling It's the reason We know a line is crooked 'Cause we know what's straight That little voice inside There is no alibi If it's not the truth it's.....?? Falling for the truth again Not by the wisdom of a man, Or a machine This is not preference or A taste that disagrees The evidence of things unseen The more you look The more you'll see I just believe I just believe it And sometimes I dunno why I gotta go with my gut again On this one Not just a feeling It's the reason We know a line is crooked 'Cause we know what's straight That little voice inside I just believe I just believe it And sometimes I dunno why I gotta go with my gut again On this one Not just a feeling It's the reason If there's ever been a time it's now I hear that still small voice inside I just believe I just believe it And sometimes I dunno why I gotta go with my gut again On this one Not just a feeling It's the reason We know a line is crooked 'Cause we know what's straight That little voice inside I just believe, I just believe it |

You may be in london, Waiting on a train You may be in paris, Dancing on a stage Or shooting the curl in bali or Down south drinking sweet tea You may be glued to the television As happy As larry You may be a doctor, Giving up the ghost You may be a short order cook, Fixing grits and toast Whenever Wherever Whoever you are Let it be Plain to see It's time to reach for Something higher Everybody hears the need Tuning in around the world All you boys and all you girls Tune in till ya drown the noise All you girls and all you boys Tune it in and hum along Let it lift the woebegone Tune it in around the world All you boys and all you girls It may be your birthday Or it may be your last As a kid you couldn't wait to get old Now the year years fly by too fast Whenever Wherever Whoever you are Let it be plain To see No time No place Nobody but you Will keep you from your Knees Tuning in around the world All you boys and all you girls Tune in till ya drown the noise All you girls and all you boys Tune it in and hum along Let it lift the woebegone Tune it in around the world All you boys and all you girls Let the truth fill up our lives Let the choir fire up and over The renewal of our minds is Never over till it's over And where our treasure is That's where our hearts will be So take my will And set me Tuning into you Tuning outta me Tuning in around the world All you boys and all you girls Tune in till ya drown the noise All you girls and all you boys Tune it in and hum along Let it lift the woebegone Tune it in around the world All you boys and all you girls |

He nods a little too fast Talking illogic with a big bombast, he's Full on dead sure any way's true, and he Wouldn't wanna knock it if it works for you, he Heave sighs a little too loud So frustrated with the one-way in crowd Full on dead sure anything goes Until you go stepping on his own toes Hold on if the truth be known Truth is more than "to each his own" If the truth be known There'll be more to anwser for Everybody gets a shot It'll cost everything you've got If the truth be known Do you really wanna know? She tries a little denial Rolls here eyes like a jaded reptile True/false questions make her uptight Opposites attract, so they both must be right What if there's a Someone up there? Shrugs it off with a "Don't know, don't care" Hopes to God He doesn't exist But ignorance here is less than bliss Hold on if the truth be known Truth is more than "to each his own" If the truth be known There'll be more to anwser for Everybody gets a shot It'll cost everything you've got If the truth be known Do you really wanna know? If the truth be known, everybody gets their shot |

She's diving down Gonna make her home now The ocean She's done with living her life On the ground She's sinking down Hands above her head Held her Nineteen years And now they're letting go Tomorrow will be 'round And everyone will see No tragedy It's like it's over But it's just begun She's going off The deep end Breaking from the crowd She's way over her head I think she's gonna drown She's going off The deep end The search is over now She's falling into your hands It's all or nothing There's no guessing She's been lost and found She's diving down Scars on her elbows The wind blows An old song spins around inside 'How sweet the sound' To be living And dying Looks like it's over But it's just begun She's going off The deep end Breaking from the crowd She's way over her head I think she's gonna drown She's going off The deep end The search is over now She's falling into your hands It's all or nothing There's no guessing She's been lost and found To take this step of faith Don't need to be scared Turn worry into wonder Dissolve the fear She's steppin' out And you drop the blame As she speaks the name Above all other names She's going off The deep end Breaking from the crowd She's way over her head I think she's gonna drown She's going off The deep end The search is over now She's falling into your hands It's all or nothing There's no guessing She's been lost and found To be lost and found Her world has turned Upside down Her soul restored With salt like rain From all of the things That you forgave And all the times she'd disobey She's diving in the ocean of Your grace |

Walk into the sunlight so bright Illumination blocking out the night She knows that the promises are airtight There's no doubt and you can see it in her eyes You'll hear her singing to heaven Even without letting out a word to be heard In every single situation (none too big - none too small) She looks up and the world looks on She sings hallelujah When all has become nothing Her hope the Savior, has colored all she does And taints the way she loves She sings hallelujah, and falls to the ground again With hands stretched up to the sky Waiting for the day, she'll hear the Father say... Step into the spotlight-so bright A character check in the dead of night To cut the stays of reason, till death defy All understanding in the neighbour's eye To run the race like this day's the last Celebrate, in all we do and all we say Look up - 'cause the world looks on She sings hallelujah When all has become nothing Her hope the Savior, has colored all she does And taints the way she loves She sings hallelujah, and falls to the ground again With hands stretched up to the sky Waiting for the day, she'll hear the Father say... We sing hallelujah When all has become nothing Our hope in the Saviour, has covered all we do Let it be for you We'll sing hallelujah, and fall to the ground again With hands stretched up to the sky We're waiting for the day, we'll hear the Father say Yeah to hear him say "Well done, good and faithful one Enter in, come on share with me Welcome home, good and faithful one On and on to eternity" |

Think I'll wait for the tide Seems it's all I can do right now There must be a reason I've run aground I'll wait for the waves To come By the moon and the tide Like a man and his bride I will wait On you, Lord And we will run so far from here To your.........safety Think I'll lie in the sun for awhile Maybe inside out I've been leaving messages for you I'm sure it will all work out And I know the waves Will come By the moon and the tide Like a man and his bride I will wait On you Lord And we will run so far from here To your safety in the storm In the storm There is courage for the simple man To the holders of secrets and scars Learning to stand with reaching arms We'll wait till the very last No matter what will be You're always good Always good To me We will run so far from here And I know the waves Will come By the moon and the tide Like a man and his bride I will wait On you Lord And we will run so far from here To your.........safety |

What were you thinking I got a right to ask Is there a reason Other than your past A great pretender Why was I the last to see Through your SKIN Is there a chance you'll ever change It's always the same You're always to blame Is there any way around this I can't see You walked out on her You planned to be free I'm trying to point the finger But it's killing me What were you thinking Where you thinking of me Did you see what they wrote On the family tree I know it's all over All in the past I need to forgive you? If I'm the last - will I ever change It's always the same You're always to blame Is there any way around this I can't see You walked out on her You planned to be free I'm trying to point the finger But it's killing me Take these pieces Thrown away Put them together from Night 'n' day Washed by the sun Dried by the rain To be my father In fatherless days |
