heaven help me
no more can this be on my mind
i've sinned too much
done overtime
takin' back now
all the things i've said to you
say a prayer now
and hope that time will teach me to

get up, recover
(if you don't know why then you can't tell how)
get up, recover
(put your hands to the sky)
get up, recover
(when the days go by and there's nothing new)
get up, recover
(kiss your fears goodbye)

overexposure
to things i'll never understand
no reason
to walk away with righteous hands

get up, get up, get up

he's the only one for me
he's the only one for me
he's the only one for me
Jesus Christ

open up and let him in
open up and let him in
open up and let him in
open up and let him in

he will save you from your sins
he will save you from your sins

who will save you from your sins?
Jesus Christ

i know i can't do this on my own
i'll take my life and meet Him at the thrown
it's alright, it's ok, it doesn't have to be this way
i will walk beside Him till the end
(if there is an end)

Jesus Christ is on our side
Jesus Christ is on our side
Jesus Christ is on our side
for he's the one who for us died

it was not that long ago
my world collapsed and i let go
i got down on my hands and knees
filled with sin, un-cleansed, dirty
with all the endless aching pride
i opened up my heart so wide
standing in the light with a key
was Jesus Christ inside of me

Jesus Christ will set you free
Jesus Christ will set you free
Jesus Christ will set you free
Jesus Christ

on my own
though i still live at home
but that's ok
cause i'm savin' up for
someday
when i'm old and broken down
i'll move out
and find another...

town, to call my own
and talk on the phone
where i will find you on the street
and we will dine
and have a good time
in the town where we will meet

i'm driving far
'cause i can't afford the rent
and if i could
would my time be well spent?
with drama kings
and ten thousand piercings
would i be found?
in a place that's not my...

i've come this far
now i can't turn back
with all this time
slipping right through the cracks
am i cut out
for this kind of life?
or have i just lost my way?

another town, to call my own
i'll sit on my thrown
where i will find you on the street
and we will dine
and have a good time
in the town where we will meet

hello! self phone!
got some fear for me today?
hello! self phone!
got some control for me today?
press it up against your ear and never let go
you're slowly cranking up the volume of their control
i carefully listen to the voice on the other side
that tells me all i need to know and then says good-bye

hello! self phone!
got some love for me today?
hello! self phone!
ticking the time from me away

i know it's not only me
but it’s my philosophy
my number you will not see
on your caller i.d.

my selfishness and thoughtless ways
have been my only enemy

hello! self phone!
i've got your number on my mind
hello! self phone!
i'll call you when i have the time
hello! self phone!
'cause this illusion isn't real
hello! self phone!
so let's keep both hands on the wheel

it's all in my head and waiting
to find a way to my heart
i've got to hold on and find out
where i can play my own part
in society
where will they need me?
if i can't get out to breathe
then where will they find me?
i've got to grow up and get out
lookin' for some kinda clue
cause nothing makes sense in this life
without our God, me, and you
take a look at all you see
and the world's not so empty
disconnect the tragedy
make a friend with enemies

this is a calling for you to come back now
it's not so bad on the other side
it seems that you've been quite distracted
just let it go and trust the lord to be your guide

it's time to move on and find out
what i will need to survive
cause this carrying on, in my mind
will never get me through life
in society
where they will need me
if i can't get out to breathe
then where will they find me?

instrumental

this isn't fair and isn't going anywhere
i've seen you slowly drift away and under load
you don't know where you want to go
i pray you realize that you've taken too much in
and now you've separated life
from what you've got yourself in
it's all an illusion, now you've taken your time
to find out that the dream wasn't real
stop, turnaround and take a look at yourself
before you can't come back from this hell

oh wha-haa oh no
i'm under load

and the world will draw you in
before you see your ugly sin
(it doesn't have to be this way)
i pray to God that he will find you
in your darkest day
(and you will be saved)

his love has called us to make you see
we won't standby and watch you bleed

oh wha-haa oh no
i'm under load
oh wha-haa ho ho
you're under load

i made it my own problem
my own problem with you
now i’ve got it stuck in my mind
don’t know what else to do
i gotta get it down on paper
before it rips apart my soul
i’ve got to manage my behavior
before it gets out of control

i’ve put it off for so long
i know now i was so wrong
now i’ve got to be strong
i’ve got to move on

so many years apart
i just don’t know where to start
you’re anxious to make some art
no i just don’t have the heart

to leave you hangin’ there
my drive is left up in the air
i want to make it fair
i just hope you really care

about me doin’ my own
i’ve got to let it grow
i’m moving right on up
i called to say i’ve had enough

instrumental

i know, it's alright
everybody gets along and fights
sometimes...

i know, it's a part of life
makin' amends and takin' it twice
in the chest

but i've got to let it go
just so i can finally know
what will happen

please don't erase the past
i burned all my photos
now i've gotta get em back
...to you

and i....think i'm doing good so far
who knows, what could be behind that door?

so many letters i've written then
used up all the ink
now i've gotta get more pens

and i know it's all a test
endured the pain just to see the rest
now here it comes...

yes, i've done it wrong
forgiven myself, now i can move on
today...

i've got a lot of guilt
but that's been paid for on the hill
of calvary...

and i....think i'm doing good so far
who knows, what these trials are all for?

something very wonderful is about to happen...
