Dreams 05:17
lyrics
Verse 1: I am climbing Climbing up the highest tree Spread my arms and fell forward You caught me with the falling leaves When my body hit the ground I felt the clouds shake You can hear the sound The sound our shadows make. Verse 2: I am walking Step by step upon these cracks It's holding me down I need to take one last breath Drowning me under shallow water Feeling guilt inside of me Disappointed look Disappointed look on my father Chorus: Don't you leave You're making it sound ridiculous Like it's coming from a dream You know that If you turn away Your life will pass you by As you waste You waste the day away You waste the day Bridge: Distractions from the left and right I can't even control my eyes God steps in my life And makes it right He tears down the walls in my heart No one else can pull apart He's all you need And He is willing Chorus: Don't you leave You're making it sound ridiculous Like it's coming from a dream You know that If you turn away Your life will pass you by As you waste You waste the day away You waste the day

Rebellious Life of an 18 05:29
lyrics
Verse 1: I tried to run away From the church that I grew up in Trying new things Party every week A rebellious life of an 18 crashing down I could stop but why now? I'm actually having fun in this town Verse 2: The disrespect that I gave to my parents It was not me and they knew it from the start A drink for a buzz just made me forget who I was Yea it hurt But I just kept I kept going on Who will be the judge to tell me that my right is wrong? These hypocrites they cannot tell me that I am wrong I am lost and I need someone to save me Not someone to tell me what I need to do Physically help me cause Im dying soon A rebellious life of an 18 crashing down I could stop if I knew how I'm actually having fun Verse 3: Got work in my hands But other things on my mind Oh I've tried I've tried to keep a one track mind Been feeding my flesh And burning my lungs inside Now my time is running out And all the things I've had in doubt Hook: But who will be the judge to tell me that my right is wrong? These hypocrites they cannot tell me that I am wrong Bridge: Oh I'm drowning in these lies Hiding thoughts under my disguise Because I've waiting way too long Fighting the shadows on the wall I need love unending love Is it too late for me to love? Is it too late for me to love? Chorus: I am lost and I need someone to save me Not someone to tell me what I need to do Physically help me cause Im dying soon A rebellious life of an 18 crashing down I could stop if you show me how, God Verse 4: Oh I've tried to run away From the face that loved me Before I knew what love was But still He wants me anyway He died on a tree To show how much He loves us End: My heart was lost but now its found He picked me up when I was down Now my heart is safe and sound You're the only God that I can't live without I was lost now I'm found because You saved me.

Turn My Heart Around 03:39
lyrics
Verse 1: I know it's crazy I'm waiting for an open door to change me Like I haven't changed myself before And it's not something I would do Unless my mind's running from truth Verse 2: Is it worth it? I constantly have to ask myself Before it wrecks my hearts and steals my pride and I'm not leaving until you put your foolishness aside Chorus 1: How can it be? a thousand eyes are watching me strumming the strings built in my heart How will it change If my steps ran away? Would they run back the start? Verse 3: And maybe Maybe it's the only thing to save me from this bumpy roller coaster ride But they won't let me off until I've fully realized Chorus 2: How can it be When these eyes are watching me? How will they see the change in my heart? How will it change If my steps ran away? Would they run back the start? Bridge: A change is coming and I can feel the beast that once was in but now Running outside. My doors were locked but he came in through a window that was left Open in my mind Mistakes I've made, I'm still a human But it shouldn't change how I should live my life a chance to start over again Verse 4: I know it's crazy How hard I try But I could never save me Only God can turn this heart around And Im not waiting for my heart to turn around No I'm not waiting for someone to tear me down Oh God please save me I'm buried deep inside this filthy ground I'll stay with you cause i'll be safe and sound.

To Live a Life of Love 05:34
lyrics
Verse 1: If I could relive yesterday I would The man I've been is not the man I should To live a lie or live to die I'm praying for a second try ooh If I could change How would I change it all? I'll keep my hands in front in case I fall. To live a lie or live to die I want to change But how can I? ooh To live a lie Or live a life of love x2 I'll pack my bags and head out in the storm My heart is all I have to keep me warm To live a lie or live to die But when I cry my tears from dry I'm walking on an unfamiliar ground I hear the sounds of crying all around To live a lie or live they cry they're begging for a second try I searched but I could never find The love that brought me back in time The suffering of feelings I tried running getting away but it's inside me Inside me x3 I searched but I could never find The love that brought me back in time (until end) End: It's not too late Don't hesitate I'm still here so don't let go You separate with barricades blinding floodlights from head to toe

Who I Am 04:48
lyrics
Verse 1: I searched but I could never find The love that brought me back in time You remember how I used to be Putting you aside Doing things for me And I know that I've been rude at times But times have changed And so have I I am not the man I used to be And I was lost until I found you Chorus: Lately, lately I've been doing rough But I'm back on track I hate watching me fall beside my foolish acts I'm getting sick and tired of the things I lack Fade to black Turn around and tell me Who I am Verse 2: I searched and knew that I was near And when at last I broke down in tears I am not the man I used to be The air I breathe tastes differently And I never knew that this was true I searched for love and I found you And I've lived a life that's plain to see This song is my soliloquy Chorus: Lately, lately I've been doing rough But I'm back on track I hate watching me fall beside my foolish acts I'm getting sick and tired of the things I lack Fade to black Turn around and tell me Who I am Who I am Bridge: Before I met you I was known to be that vagabond The time has gone Why would you turn around For a person that means nothing to anyone? But I guess I'll never know the reason why you stepped aside And took the time to get me on my feet And to wipe the tears dry All this time I thought that running free from life would keep this heart alive But I was wrong I needed you. Chorus: Cause Lately Lately I've been doing rough But I'm back on track I hate watching me fall beside my foolish acts I'm getting sick and tired of the things I lack Fade to black Turn around and tell me Who I am
