Hey,
Mr. Seeker
Hold on to this
advice
If you keep seeking
you will find
Don't want to follow
Down roads been
walked before
It's so hard to find
unopened doors
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Hey, Mr. Hero
Walking a thin, fine
line
Under the microscope
of life
Remember your roots,
my friend
They're right down
below
'Cause heroes come
and heroes go
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Count down to the
change in life that's soon to come
Your life has just
begun
What if
I
can't find the rhyme in all my reason
I've lost sense of
time and all seasons
I feel I've been
beaten down
By the words of men
who have no grounds
I can't sleep beneath
the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut
the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in
bitter mouths
Can drive a men to
bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an
eye?
I've seen the wicked
fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who
lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a
vengeful song
Inspired by the times
you've been walked on
My stage is shared by
many millions
Who lift their hands
up high because they feel this
We are one
We are strong
The more you hold us
down the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an
eye?
I know I can't hold
the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes
your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a
question
What if?
What if your words
could be judged like a crime?
Beautiful
She
wears a coat of color
Loved by some, feared
by others
She's immortalized in
young men's eyes
Lust she breeds in
the eyes of brothers
Violent sons make
bitter mothers
So close your eyes,
here's your surprise
Beautiful is empty
Beautiful is free
Beautiful loves no
one
Beautiful stripped me
In your mind she's
your companion
Vile instincts often
candid
Your regret is all
that's left
She told me where I'm
going
And it's far away
from home
I think I'll go there
on my own
The dust has finally settled
on the field of human clay
Just enough light has shown
through
To tell the night from the day
We are incomplete and hollow
For ur maker has gone
Who is to blame?
We'll surely melt in the rain
Say I
The stillness is so lifeless
with no spirit in your soul
Like children with no vision
do exactly what they're told
Being led into the desert
For your strength will surely
fade
Who is to blame?
We'll surely melt in the rain
Say I
Frantic, faction, focus
The world breathes
And out forms this
misconception we call man
But I don't know
No, I don't know him
Because he lies
Say I
What makes you touch?
What makes you feel?
What makes you stop
and smell the roses in an open field?
What makes you
unclean?
Yeah, Yeah
What makes you laugh?
What makes you cry?
What makes our youth
run
From the thought that
we might die?
What makes you bleed?
Somebody told me the
wrong way
What if I died?
What did I give?
I hope it was an
answer so you might live
I hope I helped you live
I hope I helped you live
Somebody told me the wrong way
I spent a day by the
river
It was quiet and the
wind stood still
I spent some time
with nature
To remind me of all
that's real
It's funny how
silence speaks sometimes when you're alone
And remember that you
feel
Again I stand against
the Faceless Man
Now I saw a face on
the water
It looked humble but
willing to fight
I saw the will of a
warrior
His yoke is easy and
His burden is light
He looked me right in
the eyes
Direct and concise to
remind me
To always do what's
right
Again I stand against
the Faceless Man
'Cause if the face
inside can't see the light I know
I'll have to walk
alone
And if I walk alone
to the other side I know
I might not make it
to home
Again I stand against
the Faceless Man
Next time I see this
face
I'll say I choose to
live for always
So won't you come
inside
And never go away
Hands on a window
pane
Watching some
children laugh and play
They're running in
circles
With candy canes and
French braids
Inspired to the
question
What makes us grown-ups
anyway?
Let's search for the
moment
When youth betrayed
itself to age
So let the children
play
Inside your heart
always
And death will you
defy
'Cause your youth
will never die
In searching for
substance
We're clouded by
struggle's haze
Remember the meaning
Of playing out in the
rain
We swim in the
fountain
Of youth's timeless
maze
If you drink the
water
Your youth will never
fade
Never die
I won't let go of
that youthful soul
Despite body and mind
my youth will never die
Well I just heard the
news today
It seems my life is
going to change
I closed my eyes,
begin to pray
Then tears of joy
stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you
everything
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if
I'm ready
To be the man I have
to be
I'lltake a breath,
take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've
created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you
everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has
changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you
everything
With arms wide open
If I had just one
wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like
me
I hope he understands
That he can take this
life
And hold it by the
hand
And he can greet the
world
With arms wide open...
When dreaming I'm
guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to
stay asleep
'Cause I don't want
to leave the comfort of this place
Now there's a hunger,
a longing to escape
From the life I live
when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go
there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me
higher?
To the place where
blind men see
Can you take me
higher ?
To the place with
golden streets
Although I would like
our world to change
It helps me to
appreciate
Those nights and
those dreams
But my friend, I'd
sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the
Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference
is
To let love replace
all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go
there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm
alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong
enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
More lyrics coming soon
