I found that I could not learn to write, until I was no longer afraid to dream.
Hank Love Jul 14
I see you crying
Thinking it's the final straw
Wondering if you have it in you
Before the final curtain call

You ask yourself if this is worth it
The makeup and the masquerades
Entertaining all these people
Underneath the lights with a pretty face

Close your eyes
Even the brightest stars
Can't be seen sometimes

The show must go on
It's not the time to take a bow
The show must go on
Even though you wonder how
Take a breath it's okay
If you make mistakes
That's what we do
In this business we call life
We live and learn it's not too late
The show must go on

I can tell your nervous
Like you've got something to prove
You walk out there trying not to fall
Trying so hard not to play a fool

Well yes it's tough
But the best things don't come free
Nothing worth it is ever easy
If it was imagine what the world would be

Take your time
You've still got
The rest of your life

But The show must go on
It's not the time to take a bow
The show must go on
Even though you wonder how
Take a breath it's okay
If you make mistakes
That's what we do
In this business we call life
We live and learn it's not too late
The show must go on

Your love spreads
Just like a cancer
And it's killing me
To wish it away

Your love burns
Just Like a fire
And it destroys everything
That's ever in it's way

So you can say
"Woe is me
Enough is enough
And it's time to leave"
But when push comes to shove
When I've finally had enough
Tell me do you have a clue
Whos going to be there waiting
To open closed doors for you?

You play a good part
As the hero
But you never tell
The story true

Your friends all
Know my name
I guess you've got
A good thing going for you

So you can say
"Woe is me
Enough is enough
And it's time to leave"
But when push comes to shove
When I've finally had enough
Tell me do you have a clue
Whos going to be there waiting
To open closed doors for you?

Imagine standing there
Afraid and all alone
You can't phone a friend this time
No it looks like you're on your own

Two doors are in front of you
There's door one and door number two
Behind the first door you hear singing
In that Heavenly studio

The door next to it
Followed by a million different screams
Is that place of fire and brimstone
You hope you'll wake up from this dream

Between the two doors
The One with the shining light
And the other with
The excruciating reddened glow

Half a million things come to your mind
As you stand awaiting judgement
From the throne
For your soul

In the blink of an eye
A figure sits before you
And the impact
Causes you to hit your knees

Beside him on a table,
Sits a book wrapped in white
The one that keeps sccount
Of everything He's heard and seen.

To the right of him
Is a man wearing a crown and purple robes
Holding a ball in His hands we call the earth
But He holds it like a globe

You realize at this point
That it's none other
Than God the father
And God the son.

The one who knew you
Before you were born,
And He knows your sins
One by one.

Clearing His throat
And leaning towards you
You know this meeting
Has only just begun.

He says "I'll make this quick,
You've seen doors one and two.
But before I open either of them,
There's something I'll ask of you.

Do you deny the things
That you did on Earth?
Tell me, do you have
Any sort of excuse?

What can you possibly tell me
In your favor
Before I completely
Wash my hands of you?"

In that moment,
You feel ashamed.
He heare your thoughts,
And He sees your blame.

You remember all the stories
That you were told in Sunday school
About the man named Jesus
Who bled and died for you.

You don't realize it's a test
Or that the questions are rhetoric
So you sit there contemplating your answer
And slowly you start to panic.

Then you feel a different emotion.
One you haven't felt for the longest time
Something inside you almost glowing
That tells you you'll be fine.

You look up and you see God
Raising His brow from His seat.
You walk up to the throne
Filled with the holy spirit
"May I remind you that sin held me prisoner
But the blood of Jesus has set me free!"

Neither the measure of a man's influence on worldly matters, nor his knowledge of the world will spare him from being crushed by it. Only the fear he has for He who created it is suffient.

I wrote this not for myself personally, but for those who is forced to lose someone they love, I've seen people scream at God in hurt and anger and other things written in this song.

You were too young
When you spread your wings
I can hear voice
While I try to sleep

Telling me it's okay
Easier said than done
There's nothing left to say
But I've only just begun

Cause i could shake my fist
And ask God why
The old live too long
While the young always die
Yeah I could scream
Until my lungs gave out
I could tell a stranger what it's all about
Or i could cuss like a sailor
But what good would it do?
When all I want Yeah all I want
Is One more minute with you

They said you were better now
And I walked away
I hit my knees
But I didn't pray

Instead I punched the ground
Cause now it's the one holding you
Yeah it doesn't know you
Quite like I do

And I don't want to sleep at night
Cause my dreams always laugh at me

Cause i could shake my fist
And ask God why
The old live too long
While the young always die
Yeah I could scream
Until my lungs gave out
I could tell a stranger what it's all about
Or i could cuss like a sailor
But what good would it do?
When all I want Yeah all I want
Is One more minute with you

Yeah all I want
All I want

Is to shake my fist and ask God why
The old live too long
While the young always die
God I wonder why
Yeah I could scream
Until my lungs gave out
I could tell a stranger what it's all about
Or i could cuss like a sailor
But what good would it do?
When all I want Yeah all I want
Is One more minute with you

Yeah all I want
Is one more minute with you

Tonight I need some sign
Won't you let me know if I'm still alive
Tell me if I'm only dreaming
Yeah tell me if I'm still breathing

Cause I feel so weak
And everything looks so bleak
The clouds can hold back the rain
But my body can't take the pain

So if you want
Would you lay with me tonight
Yeah if you want
Would you hold me close
And dry my eyes
Yeah it seems so wrong
Cause I don't
No I really don't want to go

Today was better
Than it has been for a while
And I could laugh
Yeah people even saw me smile

And it's such a pity
Yeah man it's such a shame
But if you want to baby
You can tell everyone my name

Yeah if you want
Would you lay with me tonight
Yeah if you want
Would you hold me close
And dry my eyes
Yeah It seems so wrong
Cause I swear I don't
No I really don't want to go
