Track Lyrics
You Better Pray Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the sweat is dripping
That's because you know just what I'm thinking
Don't look back it's me who follows
And there ain't nothing from me you can borrow
You like to hide behind lies
But we see through your disguise
It's not a threat or a curse
Just a proper verse
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna make you let go
Of what you tried to withhold
And I can promise it won't be long
Yes I can promise
[Chorus]
Boy, you better pray
We don't seek you out, no
You better pray
[Verse 2]
You think the war is over
I've only shown you the tip of the iceberg
And you rely upon your lawyers
But at night when you sleep does it bother you?
You like to hide behind lies
But we see through your disguise
It's not a threat or a curse
Just a proper verse
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna make you let go
Of what you tried to withhold
And I can promise it won't be long
Yes I can promise
[Chorus]
Boy, you better pray
We don't seek you out, no
You better hope
We might lose control, no
[Bridge]
Is this good enough for you man? (x4)
[Chorus]
Boy, you better pray
We don't seek you out, no
You better hope
We might lose control, no
No Spell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seems I found a familiar face
In a place where there's no names
And we learn to appreciate
All the things we take in vain
[Chorus]
Hold on tight and enjoy the ride, girl
This is all that we get (Take a chance now)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)
[Verse 2]
I'm not worried and I'm not afraid
What we have should be displayed
No matter what the others may say
We will always stay this way (Oh)
[Chorus]
Hold on tight and enjoy the ride, girl
This is all that we get (Take a chance now)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)
[Post-Chorus]
This is no spell (This is no spell)
[Bridge]
When all the world is gone and dead
I'll still be the one to hold your hand
When all the world is gone and dead
[Chorus]
Hold on tight and enjoy the ride, girl
This is all that we get (Take a chance now)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)
Hold on tight and enjoy the ride, girl
This is all that we get (Take a chance now)
It feels right and I know you can tell
I'm not going to lie (This is no spell)
[Outro]
When all the world is gone and dead
I'll still be the one to hold your hand
When all the world is gone and dead
Pen & Paper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This whole routine is getting old
So am I
And so are you
My reputation lets me know
I can do whatever I want to
Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please
Not before, not before you wind up on your knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't cry to me no more
[Chorus]
You like the way the people stare at you
Now you look so fake
Just thought that you should know
And you're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical
[Verse 2]
You set yourself up to be sold
And that's okay 'cause that's your role
Manipulation takes its toll
What will you do when nobody wants you
Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please
Not before, not before you wind up on your knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't cry to me no more
[Chorus]
You like the way the people stare at you
And now you look so fake
Just thought that you should know
And you're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical
[Bridge]
I know I stood so long beside you
And I know I should have left you right where I had found you
I know I stood so long beside you
And I know I should have left you right where I had found you
[Chorus]
You like the way that people stare at you
Now you look so fake
Just thought that you should know
You're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical
You like the way that people stare at you
Now you look so fake
Just thought that you should know
And you're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical
Represent Lyrics
3 ContributorsRepresent LyricsA kid came up to me now just the other day
And asked me if I'd thought about what I would say
If everything came crashing down on top of me
How would I stay pure?
Will you represent
Who you stand for
Will they shame you
Will they blame you
It's funny how the words of a child can be
Simple, though the thought there is so meaningful
It makes me wonder what I would say to me
Through the eyes of another
Will you represent
Who you stand for
Will they shame you
Will they blame you
There's a consequence
For the path you chose
Will they change you
Will they make you who you are not
Let the free world light the way
In these times of darkened days
Let the free world light the way
You will represent
Who you stand for
They won't shame you
They won't change you
There's a consequence
For the path you chose
They can't change you
They can't make you who you are not
Pull Me Back Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two
One, two, let's go
[Verse 1]
There's lots of crazy, crazy things this world
Will offer you
And there's no way to fake what you've been through
So just hold on to what you know is true
[Chorus]
Pull me back again
I need you to hold me from my sin (Hold me back)
Hold me back again
I need you to pull me from my sin (Before I give in)
[Verse 2]
At times, it seems there's nowhere left to turn
It's true
I'd like to think that we could help each other rise above
The things we're going through
[Chorus]
Pull me back again
I need you to hold me from my sin (Hold me back)
Hold me back again
I need you to pull me from my sin (Before I give in)
[Post-Chorus]
One, two
One, two, let's go
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Pull me back again
I need you to hold me from my sin (Hold me back)
Hold me back again
I need you to pull me from my sin (Before I give in)
[Post-Chorus]
Pull me back again (Before I give in)
Pull me back again (Before I give in)
Step Right Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Please aim slow
I know it's not like you
To take the fall
For anyone but yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me show you a world that you've never seen
Let me help you unveil what you've been missing
There is no time to wait
When you find love, you can't hesitate
[Chorus]
Step right up, shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry, if you miss, I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win
[Verse 2]
Woah, you know you did it again-ain
And every time I hear your voice
Well, you know I have no choice but to let you in
Life is short, don't pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me show you a world that you've never seen
Let me help you unveil what you've been missing
There is no time to wait
When you find love, you can't hesitate
[Chorus]
Step right up, shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry, if you miss, I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win
Step right up, shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry, if you miss, I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win
[Bridge]
Please aim slow
Please aim slow
Ooh, what could I say to you (Please aim slow)
To let you know every day I am grateful? (Please aim slow)
I wish I could turn back time or make it rewind (Please aim slow)
I would find you when we were younger
So we could spend our good time on Earth together longer
[Chorus]
Step right up, shoot an arrow at the target
My heart is an easy thing for you to hit
Don't worry, if you miss, I'll let you shoot again
My heart is an easy thing for you to win
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, step right up again
When you find love, you can't hesitate
Woah, step right up again
My heart is aching, I can barely wait
Woah, step right up again
When you find love, you can't hesitate
Woah, step right up again
My heart is aching, I can barely wait
Believe Lyrics
[Versre 1]
Our decent times
It's gotten bad, and it's been
Pressin' on my mind
Got me feelin' sad
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know you know
That we could do more
But we just don't
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry, world
I feel your pain, and it's a shame
My shoulders are hurt
And stressed from the pain
And I know you know
That you could do more
But you
[Chorus]
And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together
[Verse 2]
With a little bit of help from up above
And a sprinkling of love
We can break these chains
We will end these days
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you know
That you could do more
But you
[Chorus]
And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together
And I still believe
That there is a lot at stake, there's no time to wait
We can change the world if we try
We're gonna change it forever
[Bridge]
You should join us
You should join us
You should join us
You, let it be you
Who will join us?
Who will join us?
Who will join us?
You, let it be you
[Chorus]
And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together
And I still believe
That there is a lot at stake
And there's no time to wait
We can change the world if we try
We're gonna change it forever
And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together
[Outro]
And I still believe
Pleads and Postcards Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I need this, is it a good time for you?
And if it's not, just know I may not be here when you need me
Sometimes I feel like I would die without you
And if it's too early don't worry when I say I'm sorry now
[Pre-Chorus]
Hang on to this moment
It will be all over soon
[Chorus]
'Cause I know you'll wait for me
You'll wait for me 'til I get home
Yes I know you'll wait for me
You'll wait for me 'til I get home
[Verse 2]
Is this what life is supposed to be about?
Sometimes it's hard but I will help you understand it somehow
The only thing that I want from you is trust
Together we will make it through this world, we must
[Pre-Chorus]
Hang on to this moment
It will be all over soon
[Chorus]
'Cause I know you'll wait for me
You'll wait for me 'til I get home
Yes I know you'll wait for me
You'll wait for me 'til I get home
[Bridge]
But if I should fall (Don't wait)
Then you should move on (Don't wait)
I will always watch out for you, from up above
Now don't take this wrong (Don't wait)
But you should move on (Don't wait)
I will always watch over you, from up above
This could be the last time that I speak with you
So just in case let's make the best of what we have until it's through
[Chorus]
'Cause I know you'll wait for me
You'll wait for me 'til I get home
Yes I know you'll wait for me
You'll wait for me 'til I get home
I get home
Lonely Road Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My grandpa said to me, "Grandson, sit down, we need to talk"
In life, there may be times when it gets hard to walk the walk
It's easier to take the path that most have traveled on
But then again, sometimes to do what's right, you must walk alone
[Chorus]
And that is a lonely road, oh
When this world burns down deep in your soul, oh
You will find there's a peace left in mind
You will find there's a peace to find
Peace to find
[Verse 2]
Some people are unkind to those who see things different
And we've all felt pain in ways it hurts to even bring it up
But that don't mean that we should take this motion lying down
I'll stand and fight until the day they put me in the ground
[Chorus]
And that is a lonely road, oh
When this world burns down deep in your soul
You will find there's a peace left in mind
You will find there's a peace to find
[Bridge]
And now I've taught you all I know
So take this seed and let it grow
(So take this seed and let it grow)
So take this seed and let it grow
Though I'm here now, soon, I'll be gone
I did what I can to try and make you strong
(I did what I can to try and make you strong)
And they sing out your song
[Chorus]
And that is a lonely road, oh
When this world burns down deep in your soul (When this world burns down deep in your soul)
You will find there's a peace left in mind
You will find there's a peace to find
And that is a lonely road (Such a lonely road)
And that is a lonely road (Hey, hey, hey, it's a lonely road)
And that is a lonely road
And that is a lonely road
Senioritis Lyrics
3 ContributorsSenioritis LyricsGather 'round now everyone
Put your glass in the air
Sing along now everyone
We've got a reason to cheer
Take it in, breathe it in
We are about to begin
Make the choice to use your voice
But don't get lost in the noise
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
'Cause when it's over it is done
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
All good things come to an end
We shouldn't have to pretend
Everything we know could change
Will you remember my name?
I hope you do, honestly
I'll keep you in my memory
Make the choice to use your voice
But don't get lost in the noise
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
'Cause when it's over it is done
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
I have waited so long
To write this song for you
And I hope you like it
I have waited so long
To write this song for you
And I hope you like it
I have waited so long
To sing this song with you
And I know that you'll like it
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
'Cause when it's over it is done
Skip classes, take chances, have fun
Godspeed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's January 1970
Do you remember me?
You put me on a boat across the sea
In the name of victory
But much to my surprise when I arrived
There was no welcoming committee
Instead there was a man for me to kill
And now I see how this is all too real
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life he fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade
He whispered softly
[Chorus]
Godspeed this letter
Away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
And stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
[Verse 2]
And in his pocket there
I saw a picture of his children and his family
And I began to realize
This person I despised
In actuality
Was not much different from myself
We probably could have taught each other many things
And now I know it's much too late although I couldn't hesitate
I check his gun and his chamber was empty
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life he fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade
He whispered softly
[Chorus]
Godspeed this letter
Away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
And stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
[Bridge]
Oh, we know not what we've done
And oh, we know not what we've done
[Chorus]
Godspeed this letter
Away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
And stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
