I Am A Boy
04:53
|
|||
I am a boy
just like any other
I have a dad and mother
I love rock and roll
I am a boy
sometimes my clothes don't fit right
sometimes I can't sleep at night
sometimes I just don't know
Just don't talk about it
try to forget about it
when you feel yourself get colder
When you feel the change
and everything feels strange
pull yourself up like a soldier
I am a boy
I am a boy
don't let the armor fool you
I put it on for school, yeah
it serves me well
I am a boy
I still dream and wonder
but I conceal it under
a conforming shell
Just don't talk about it
learn to live without it
when you dream of arms to hold you
I still feel the same
Why did you all change?
Why did everyone get colder?
I am a boy

Truest
04:42
|

Searching for the truest thing
Searching for the truest thing
can make a boy run right to the flame
If I leave it all behind
If I leave it all behind
If I leave it all behind
would I still find protection?
Omophorion
Searching for the truest thing
Searching for the truest thing
can make a faithful man go insane

God Weighs In
02:46
|
|||
God weighs in
at the end of the night
and i've been waiting on this
since the first bell of our last fight
God weighs in
when the curses have been pronounced
God weighs in
unannounced
But if the lion breaks in
If the lion gets through
He's gonna write in the sand
and do what he do
and then oh
He's gonna let some people go
God weighs in
when I know that I'm right
but I should shut down
shut up for the night
God weighs in
when I should just walk away
God weighs in
Anyway
But if the lion breaks in
if the lion gets through
He's gonna show us his hands
and do what he do
and then oh,
what more could we know?

Tyrants
03:54
|
|||
I don't want my children
dying in some war
but tyrants being tyrants
they push us til we can't take no more
and barricades they go up
in our hearts before on the street
God offers justice
but we demand a king
the righteous write on ashes
while the wicked flood the waves
with promises of heaven
while we dig another grave
but they can't take the homeland
if we don't have a home
so wake up your neighbors
and sell all you own

Dissonance
04:14
|
|||
Baby I will hold you
through all this dissonance
and baby, we will find peace
in these troubled times
We grieve this
we grieve this violence
cause it happens all the time
we cry Jesus come and save us
Spirit make the change
Love is the answer
Love is the answer
I know its been said
too many times before
but its not time
to close the door on love

The Last War
03:53
|
|||
The last war you will ever have to fight
is for the heart
its for your heart
against the words and darts
of those who tear you down
your shield is love
Lift your head from your hands
feel your heart beating inside
you're still alive
you are the image of the one
who formed you in his hands
and gave you breath
Be who you are
you can make some mistakes
you've got what it takes
you've got your friends to help you out
when you're in need
we can work together
