Sometimes you wonder what the mystery of life is, then you realize that itself is the mystery.

it's fun being different. Everyone thinks you're crazy and it really throws them off. THAT, is the joy.

Take the women and the children
And move them to higher ground
The fires spreading wide across the land

Don't believe the news
Or a single word they tell you
Stay with me because I swear I have a plan

Do you see me
Do you see me worried
Don't you think I know
That everything is wrong
Do you see me
Do you see me worried
But I've still got time to write one last song

A fire just broke out
In the parking lot and lobby
Unlock your doors, get out while you can

There's people fighting
Trying to throw each other in the fire
People hit their knees
And pray to the high command

Do you see me
Do you see me worried
Don't you think I know
That everything is wrong
Do you see me
Do you see me worried
But I've still got time to write one last song

Do you see me
Do you see me worried
Don't you think I know
That everything is wrong
Do you see me
Do you see me worried
But I've still got time to write one last song

It was sixty years ago
When they sent me to the Island
The warden said no one ever gets out alive
But I knew it was a lie

It was just a year later
When I got a funny feeling
The walls were caving in
And I wanted to be free again

I used to look out at the city
I loved to feel the wind blow through my hair
I swore I'd make it off the Island
And I'd be gone without a care

Made a raft out of raincoats
Made a few dummy heads
We left when the lights went out
And in the morning they thought that we were dead

We swore we'd make it off the island
We did what they said can't be done
We left that rock in the Ocean
We were free but we were on the run

Every night I think about my life
If things would have been different
If I only did my time
But I had different plans in mind

I used to look out at the city
I loved to feel the wind blow through my hair
I swore I'd make it off the Island
And I'd be gone without a care

We swore we'd make it off the island
We did what they said can't be done
We left that rock in the Ocean
We were free but we were on the run

It isn't a bird
No it isn't a plane
It's a man falling
Out of the sky

Now haven't you heard
That man was in pain
Now he's calling for help
While he's wondering why


Yeah the man
Who could fly
Fell out of the sky today
We don't understand
And we all want to cry
Who's gonna save the man
Who always saved the day?


It seems he had some broken wings
We've all been there before
He can't soar through the air
And listen to birds as they sing

And no amount of kryptonite
Will get this man to his feet
Only love will save this man
From the hatred on the streets

Yeah the man
Who could fly
Fell out of the sky today
We don't understand
And we all want to cry
Who's gonna save the man
Who always saved the day?

I was the tear
That fell upon that rock
And I could hear
Every word he spoke to God

Take this cup from me
It's not mine to drink
I've done nothing wrong
Father there must be some mistake

I was the reason
Why he died on Calvary
I was the reason
But he still chose to die for me
And every sin that I had made
Was there like black thick moss
I was the reason for the cross

I was  the nail
That pinned him to the tree
I held him there
As he died on Calvary

But I didn't use the hammer
I had no choice in this
It was the man in the Roman armor
But my shame was not dismissed

I was the reason
Why he died on Calvary
I was the reason
But he still chose to die for me
And every sin that I had made
Was there like black thick moss
I was the reason for the cross


I was the soldier
That hung him on the cross
It was not my decision
But I saw what it had cost

If I didn't have the nails
Then they would have my head
I killed an innocent man
It should have been me instead

I was the reason
Why he died on Calvary
I was the reason
But he still chose to die for me
And every sin that I had made
Was there like black thick moss
I was the reason for the cross

If we fail to follow our dreams, we chase shadows instead.
