Doing my time and paying my dues
caught up in my midnight blues
hid behind my black and white hues
only to see my shadow through the sun

Stepped out to forget my shoes
doing the this and forgot my do's
thought it could only get better
but I found myself in the stormy weather
standing without my hat or a coat

I let the tongue slip to slit my own throat
when my ship would no longer float
thought I could win only to lose
on the decisions I would choose

I thought I would give love a chance
but couldn't handle that endless romance
when she took my heart
and stoled my soul
all I could do was watch her go

I saw the Devil waiting to dance
when I stood there in a trance
thought my time had finally come
when he pointed at me and said welcome

Thought that this world would change some
when I seen it come all undone
but it was only the start
to what has already begun
to all that has already gone
now cocked and loaded like a gun

When mountains crumble
and Ocean's start to rage
when you fall and stumble
and you're locked behind a cage
I will lay you down
in a peaceful garden
underneath that shade tree
where you can always find me

When you face the trouble
of paths blocked along the way
when the mind starts to worry
that you can't see the light of day
I will lay you down
in the clouds of Heaven
where waiting for you I will be

When the final scene has been played
and the river's wide you had to wade
when your dreams are washed away
and you can't keep both feet on the ground
I will lay you down
and wrap you in my wings
where another day brings
the comfort you can find in me

I wait for love's chance
to come beside me and dance
I wait for a love of a woman
who can come and move my world

Someone who can hold my hand
to always be there and understand
to be proud enough to call me her man

I wait for that one kiss
the one she says she has missed
when I walk through the door
that shakes the souls core

I wait for her some more
the one I been looking for
that is like none before
that comes in like a desert storms swirl
and brings me to the floor

Darkness comes pouring in
taking away my reality
and all that I feel
but only what is left to ****

Nothing more seems real
with nothing left for me
there's no more left to give
inside I have lost the will
with nothing more to live

Getting lost from within
I can't find myself again
nothing here to set me free
what is tearing inside of me
that won't leave me be

Screaming inside the pain
of all what is left to remain
feeling the emptiness rain
flowing through my vein
what is eating inside my brain
with nothing left inside to gain

Drifting farther everyday
into a state of agony
stuck inside a world of misery
needing to close my eyes to see
with nothing left inside me
but a soul left to steal

All I wanted was love to find me
to know what it was to see
what a love could be
I just wanted a touch so real
that could show inside me
what the heart should feel
and all I needed was you

I wanted to see stars light the sky
to feel the warmth of your lips softly
in a summertimes kiss
to get lost in the tenderness
of your sweet caress
and all I needed was you

I wanted dreams so surreal
that got me so high
where I never needed to come down
to know their was a love that true
and all I needed was you
to look where I could be found

You love only what you take
not knowing how to live
you take what you need
and in return have nothing to give
to see only through your greed

Through eyes you show your hate
to look at me you discriminate
you judge and you persecute
with your guns you shoot
not thinking on the decisions you make

You destroy and **** our land
all by the Devil's hand
and from others you only steal
through your God in his name
you say it was all in His will
forgetting where it was that you came

I have seen a world in a vision
where our people again shall rise
to get past the inhumanity
you have brought upon us

We won't hide behind the fears
or hide behind your mask of lies
that gave us reasons not to trust

We won't stand behind our tears
in this world that tries to condemn
just for the color of our skin
or the faith in our religion

We will be strong with our pride
with the Creator by our side
for our Spirit's are free
and inside us it never dies
