Couch Tomato Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 On My Way Here I took my first step On that black and white kitchen floor I sometimes wonder if that house Is even there, anymore I had my first glimpse of love When I was five I watched two people split apart But still the three of us survived I’ve seen the best I’ve seen the worst I wouldn’t change what I’ve been through I’ve touched the sky I’ve hit the wall But I did what I had to Ooooohhhh CHORUS: On my way here Where I am now I’ve learned to fly I have to want to leave the ground I’ve fallen hard But I’ve been loved And in the end it all works out My faith has conquered fear On my way here. Oh yeah yeaaah My address has changed Almost every year I've found that standing still Can quickly make a lifetime disappear I'd rather try and fail A thousand times denied And this, whenever you feel pain It lets you know that you’re alive I’ve been a fool I’ve been afraid Yeah, I’ve been loved I've been lied to I've been wrong And I've been right I stood up when I had to Yeah Yeahhhh On my way here Where I am now I’ve learned to fly I have to want to leave the ground I’ve fallen hard But I’ve been loved And in the end it all works out My faith has conquered fear On my way here. No guarantees I believed that I would find An open door or a light To lead me to the other side I guess that is why On my way here Where I am now I’ve learned to fly I have to want to leave the ground I’ve fallen hard But I‘ve been loved And in the end it all works out My faith has conquered fear On my way here Yeahhhh Oooooohh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabear Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 "The Real Me" Natalie Grant Lyrics - To be changed when we hear the re-written 'Clay Aiken' version "The Real Me" was written by Natalie Grant, who comes from the Christian world but is popular at AC. Her songs tend to explore life's challenges and offer a positive spin. We first looked at that song as one of four originals on the last album. The thing I love so much about "The Real Me" is that when I listened to it, I thought, "It's about God." Jaymes heard a romantic song. Other people think it's about their mom. Everyone is able to take their own message. Natalie was kind enough to change a little bit of the lyric so that it fits my life even better. Foolish heart looks like we're here again Same old game of plastic smile Don't let anybody in Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break How much will they take before I'm empty Do I let it show, does anybody know? [Chorus:] But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me Painted on, life is behind a mask Self-inflicted circus clown I'm tired of the song and dance Living a charade, always on parade What a mess I've made of my existence But you love me even now And still I see somehow But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into A perfect tapestry I just wanna be me But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me And you love me just as I am Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footloose Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 GRACE OF GOD (Don Mescall & Mads Hauge) Some folks always get the rough ride Seem they end up on the wrong side Constant battle just to survive on any given day I watched a mother on my TV Hungry children that she can’t feed Still I’ve got everything that I need And that just don’t seem right That I sleep safe tonight There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Mother Earth is down on her knees Poison rivers run to dead seas Cities eating up the green fields We never question why How truth turns into lies There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Sometimes it’s hard to believe In a truth that you can’t even see But faith holds the hope for the world And I know, I know There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I When I’m thinking it’s a bad day Feels like nothing’s going my way I pass a wreck out on the freeway And I pray that they survived There but for the grace of God go I from anncanada (CH) "Something About Us" Stop the music, play the song We'll dance together all night long The spotlight glows, somehow it knows, That there's something about us Something about us People smile when we walk by There's too much magic through the night A fool can see, we're meant to be 'cause there's something about us, something about us The words on every poet's tongue Every love song ever sung about us, it's about us And Romeo and Juliet, the plays they haven't written yet It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two in our perfectly perfect love You can see it in our way in how we spend our nights and days A crazy life, a photograph There's just something about something about us The words on every poet's tongue Every love song ever sung about us, it's about us And Romeo and Juliet, the plays they haven't written yet It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two in our perfectly perfect love So stop the music, play the song And we'll dance together all night long We'll reminisce of moments like this Cause there's something about us something about us yes, there something about us....

Where I Draw the Line It’s all as it should be You’re the best thing that ever happened to me I melt every time we kiss Never felt anything like this It’s almost too perfect Just like the thunder brings the rain Something beautiful brings on the pain Looks like it’s gonna be the same this time around I wanna let you in but I don’t know how I’ve been here one too many times Seems like whenever I let somebody get this close I’m right back where I got hurt the most That’s why That’s why Around my heart is where I draw the line I wish I could just forget Not have one more regret behind me to remind me Of what I’ve given up Could I ever live with this Knowing that I might have missed My last chance for love to find me I could stay here drowning in the rain Unless you have the strength to save me Nothing’s gonna change And it’s gonna be the same this time around I wanna let you in but I don’t know how I’ve been here one too many times Seems like whenever I let somebody get this close I’m right back where I got hurt the most That’s why That’s why Around my heart is where I draw the line Whether you’re gonna rescue me Or you’re gonna be the death of me It’s gonna be the same this time around I wanna let you in but I don’t know how I’ve been here one too many times Whenever I let somebody get this close I’m right back where I got hurt the most And that’s why That’s why Around my heart is where I draw the line Around my heart is where I draw the line As Long As We're Here why do we have to fight why can't we spend our time trying I wanna be close to you Keep love from slipping through... my hands The words said in anger aimed at someone Are hard to take back once the damage is done Let's stop now.... As long as we're here... alive on this earth I'm gonna love you... for all that it's worth And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly... Let's make the most of of our time As long as we're here... (yeah...) Some people live their lives Holding their fears... inside them Afraid to build windows To let the light of the world in... They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls If they could just tear them down... they'd have it all As long as we're here... alive on this earth I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly... Let's make the most of our time As long as we're here... When you're with me i breath easy you are my need right now love me As long as we're here alive on this earth I'm gonna love you And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly... As long as we're here... alive on this earth I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly... Let's make the most of of our time I'll make the most of our time As long as we're here... As long as we're here... Forget I Ever Knew You words and music by Greg Critchley I lie awake while the rest of the world sleeps happily I’m tossing and turning in the dark I try to make some sense of the mess that calls itself my life Just wish I knew where I should start I’d go back in time if I could and erase you from my mind for good I get so tired of trying Maybe I should just… Fly away let my heart pretend My dream comes true and the story ends I get on my feet and start again And forget I ever knew you I leave the past and rise above I let you go and fall in love With everything that I’m made of Say goodbye to all I’ve been through And forget I ever knew you I turn the page I’ve got nothing to say but I’ll start writing anyway Something that gets me moving on again Stuck in this place I’m putting one foot in front of the other foot Maybe today I’ll let this be over and done again I’d make up my mind if I could And leave this all behind me for good I’m getting tired of trying So maybe I should just… Fly away let my heart pretend My dream comes true and the story ends I get on my feet and start again And forget I ever knew you I leave the past and rise above I let you go and fall in love With everything that I’m made of Say goodbye to all I’ve been through And forget I ever knew you The sun can shine a little brighter now I’m gonna make it on my own somehow And I will start feeling alive again, yeah I’ll start living life with no regrets ‘Cause the best hasn’t happened yet I’m just fine with you out of my life I’ll just, fly away let my heart pretend My dream comes true and the story ends I get on my feet and start again And forget I ever knew you I leave the past and rise above I let you go and fall in love With everything that I’m made of Say goodbye to all I’ve been through And forget I ever knew you And forget I ever knew you I never knew you Say goodbye to all I’ve been through And forget I ever knew you On My Way Here was written by Hunter Davis, Anna Christina Faulk and Ryan B.

KAndre Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Sacrificial Love Sometimes I feel like I’m chasing the shadows in your eyes Losing my footing and looking for something that I recognize Tell me you’re here for forever but act like you’re passing through Which one’s the real you? Which one’s the real you? Are you only practicing until you find the real thing? Taking up space until you find yourself in that perfect face? Are you looking over my shoulder? Am I enough or just Your sacrificial love? I know when we started I kinda talked you into this I was good for the moment But now something’s missing from your kiss I see you lying beside me But I feel you’re moving on Which one’s the real you? Which one’s the real you? Are you only practicing until you find the real thing? Taking up space until you find yourself in that perfect face? Are you looking over my shoulder? Am I enough or just Your sacrificial love? Do I have to spill my tears? Teach you how to say goodbye? If that’s not what I am to you What am I? What am I? Are you only practicing until you find the real thing? Taking up space until you find yourself in that perfect face? Are you looking over my shoulder? Am I enough or just Your sacrificial love? Just your sacrificial love Grace of God Some folks always get the rough ride Seem to end up on the wrong side Constant battle just to survive on any given day I watched a mother on my TV Hungry children that she can't feed Still I've got everything that I need And that just don't seem right That I sleep safe tonight There's got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Every day makes the headlines Someone struggling for their life Feels like I’m watching from the sidelines Will nothing ever change? Just the truth got rearranged There's got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Sometimes it's hard to believe In a truth that you can't even see But faith holds the hope for the world And I know, I know There's got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I When I'm thinking it's a bad day Feels like nothing's going my way I pass a wreck out on the freeway And I pray that they survived There but for the grace of God go I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 A few edited versions of post CD release lyrics. (Please let me know if you see needed corrections.) As Long As We're Here why do we have to fight why can't we spend our time trying I wanna be close to you Keep love from slipping through my hands words said in anger aimed at someone Are hard to take

the most of our time As long as we're here As long as we're here Forget I ever knew you I lie awake while the rest of the world sleeps happily I'm tossing and turning in the dark I try to make some sense of the mess that calls itself my life Just wish I knew where I should start I'd go back in time if I could erase you from my mind for good I get so tired of trying Maybe I should just Walk away and let my heart pretend the dreams come true when the story ends I get on my feet and start again say goodby to all I’ve been through And forget I ever knew you I turn the page I've got nothing to say but I'll start writing anyway Something that gets me moving on again Stuck in this place putting one foot in front of the other foot Maybe today I'll let this be over and done I'd make up my mind if I could And leave this all behind me for good I'm getting tired of trying Maybe I should just Walk away and let my heart pretend the dream comes true when the story ends I get on my feet and start again And forget I ever knew you I leave the past and rise above I let you go and fall in love With everything that I'm made of Say goodbye to all I've been through And forget I ever knew you I'll start living life with no regrets 'Cause the best hasn't happened yet I'm just fine with you out of my liiiiiiiife Walk away let my heart pretend the dreams come true when your story ends I get on my feet and start again And forget I ever knew you I leave the past and rise above I let you go and fall in love With everything that I'm made of Say goodbye to all I've been through And forget I ever knew you I never knew you Say goodbye to all I've been through And forget I ever knew you GRACE OF GOD (Don Mescall & Mads Hauge) Some folks always get the rough ride Seem to end up on the wrong side Constant battle just to survive on any given day I watched a mother on my TV Hungry children that she can’t feed Still I’ve got everything that I need And that just don’t seem right That I sleep safe tonight There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes Wish I could find some way that we could justify all this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Everyday it makes the headlines Someone’s struggling for their lives Feels like I’m watching from the sidelines where nothing ever changed just the truth got rearranged There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes Wish I could find some way that we could justify all this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Sometimes it’s hard to believe In a truth that you can’t even see But faith holds the hope for the world And I know, I know There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes Wish I could find some way that we could justify all this suffering There but for the grace of God go I So when I’m thinking it’s a bad day Feels like nothing’s going my way I pass a wreck out on the freeway And I pray that they survived There but for the grace of God go I It's in Every One of Us Cliff Richard It's in every one of us to be wise Find your heart Open up both your eyes We can all know every thing Without ever knowing why It's in every one of us by and by It's in every one of us I just remembered It's like I've been sleeping for years I'm not aware as I can be But my seeing's better I can see through the tears I've been realizing that I bought this ticket And watching only half of the show But there's scenery and lights And a cast of thousands Who all know what I know And it's good that it's so It's in every one of us to be wise Find your heart Open up both your eyes We can all know every thing Without ever knowing why It's in every one of us by and byyyyyyy It's in every one of us by and by Sacrificial Love Sometimes I feel like I’m chasing the shadows in your eyes Losing my footing and looking for something that I recognize You tell me you’re here for forever but act like you’re passing through Which one’s the real you? Which one’s the real you? Are you only practicing until you find the real thing? Taking up space until you find yourself in that perfect face? Are you looking over my shoulder? Am I enough or just Your sacrificial love? I know when we started I kinda talked you into this I was good for the moment But now something’s missing from your kiss I see you lying beside me But I feel you’re moving on Which one’s the real you?

Am I enough or just Your sacrificial love? Do I have to spill my tears? Teach you how to say goodbye? If that’s not what I am to you What am I? What am I? Are you only practicing until you find the real thing? Taking up space until you find yourself in that perfect face? Are you looking over my shoulder? Am I enough or just Your sacrificial love? Just your sacrificial love The Real Me Foolish heart looks like we're here again Same old game of plastic smile Don't let anybody in Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break How much will they take before I'm empty Do I let it show, does anybody know? [Chorus:] But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Reveal me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to hold back my frailty Cause you see the real me Painted on, life is behind a mask Self-inflicted circus clown I'm tired of the song and dance Living a charade, always on parade What a mess I've made of my existence But you love me even now And still I see somehow That you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Reveal me completely I'm loosening my grasp No need to hold back my frailty O-o-oh, Cause you see the real me Shadows of shattered dreams They followed me They’ve haunted me But you‘ve taken the broken pieces of my life and helped me to believe Cause you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within reveal me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to hold back my frailty O-o-o-oh, Cause you see the real me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
