Bad Day 03:02
lyrics
buy track
I woke up on the wrong side Of my head again today I’m tired of being pushed around And, told just to obey Every day they tell me What to think & what to say My brain is fried.. My hands are tied.. They say I’m mad.. She’s so.. INSANE! Give me a minute & I’ll be OK It’s just a bad day Give me a minute & I’ll be OK Staring at the wall again Just can’t take anymore I’m tired of being pushed around Just stepped on & ignored I woke up on the wrong side Of my head again today I close my eyes.. And, realize.. It’s alright.. I’m not.. INSANE! Give me a minute & I’ll be OK It’s just a bad day Give me a minute & I’ll be OK Megalomaniacal Psycho’s craving more control Who gave them authority To take any part of me? My own sanity’s at stake They just won’t give me a break Round & round we go again The cycle never ever ends I’m not.. INSANE! Give me a minute & I’ll be OK It’s just a bad day Give me a minute & I’ll be OK

Black & blue You mend my heart Without you I fall apart You’re my eyes when I can’t see You’re every best part of me Black & blue You mend my heart Without you I fall apart You’re my eyes when I can’t see You’re every best part of me Black & blue You mend my heart Without you I fall apart You’re my eyes when I can’t see You’re every best part of me You shake me You shake me down to my core You shake me You make me feel like so much more

I hear a voice calling out my name You wanna have some fun? Come on over and let’s play a game The night has just begun.. My daddy told me that you’re a fake Mama said, “Child don’t feed the snake!” When evil hisses & starts to crawl Fix your eyes above or your bound to fall Right is wrong & wrong is right Jesus, please just hit the lights Bad, bad days & wicked nights Jesus, please just hit the lights Yea If you don’t wanna play that’s OK I’ll hang around & wait The night is long and I’m fittin’ to stay You know, it’s never too late.. I don’t like your tone, so just leave me alone You’re a mean, cruel one with a heart of stone I won’t play the fool, you’re not worth the time So, just move it along, you ain’t no friend of mine Right is wrong & wrong is right Jesus please just hit the lights Bad, bad days & wicked nights Jesus please just hit the lights I feel real bad company Makin’ me the show Dear God, they’re a curse on me Don’t let my demons drag me down below Right is wrong & wrong is right Jesus, please just hit the lights Bad, bad days & wicked nights Jesus, please just hit the lights Right is wrong & wrong is right Jesus, please just hit the lights Bad, bad days & wicked nights Jesus, please just hit the lights

Teenage Rebel 03:40

It ain’t easy being me A little awkward in society Leather jacket, shredded jeans I never fit into the social scene I like to rock, I love to roll Somethin’ inside me deep down in my soul Says I was born.. Born this way Listen up now, I heard it say Teenage rebel I want you to know You were born to turn it up And, play that rock n’ roll Teenage rebel I want you to know The devil can’t have all the good music In rock n’ roll In the Summer of ‘99 Back in high school when I was shy Formed this band in my garage Our biggest fans were our own applause I played around the music scene Came to a crossroads at age seventeen There, that voice just like before It told me somethin’ again once more Teenage rebel I want you to know You were born to turn it up And, play that rock n’ roll Teenage rebel I want you to know The devil can’t have all the good music In rock n’ roll March to the beat of a different drum Hear the sound of angel’s hum? Sing that song, sing it all day long Play for Me the sound of heaven’s song Teenage rebel I want you to know You were born to turn it up And, play that rock n’ roll Teenage rebel I want you to know The devil can’t have all the good music In rock n’ roll

That Boy 03:24

Let me tell you ‘bout a boy that I used to know With hazel-brown eyes and nerdy clothes That boy.. He’s gonna be mine I saw him standin’ in the church parking lot That Sunday mornin’ I stopped & thought That boy.. He’s gonna be mine And, so I found out he went to my school Well, who’s this boy that I barely knew? Since that day I’d tease and play All the little games, yet too shy to say Oh Stay Stay with me a while Why do you always have to go? Stay with me a while This one time I didn’t feel so well He showed up on my doorstep & rang the bell That boy.. He’s gonna be mine In muddy cleats with dirt on his nose He gave me a card & a yellow rose That boy.. He’s gonna be mine We went to the movies & the beach & more We both hated surfing, but we loved Star Wars! My first crush became my best friend I’ll never forget that Summer with him Oh Stay Stay with me a while Why do you always have to go? Stay with me a while Oh Stay Stay with me a while Why do you always have to go? Stay with me a while Stay Stay with me a while Why do you always have to go? Stay with me a while

You Make Me Move 03:38

I’ll tell ya somethin’, you wanna know? About this hero who not so long ago Raised the dead up & healed the sick? He didn’t need a super power or a magic trick He made demons tremble Shiver right down to the bone In just one breath, defeated death Then rolled away the stone I don’t need a Superman To come & save the day My hero doesn’t wear a cape He washed my sins away I feel the rhythm of your heartbeat Echo in my chest You give me all these feelings Unlike all the rest Make’s my body move My blood starts pumpin’ I’m feelin’ somethin’ comin’ alive in me Don’t you know you’re my rhythm & my groove? You make me move I raise a hallelujah, yea You make me move When I’m feelin’ down & low Like I’ve got no life left in my soul Look in the mirror, what do you see? I see a hero smile & stare right back at me The pharoah had no power over, “Let My people go!” The walls they couldn’t hold up When He brought down Jericho The devil couldn’t stop Him When He set the world free I’m unstoppable because That hero lives in me I feel the rhythm of your heartbeat Echo in my chest You give me all these feelings Unlike all the rest Make’s my body move My blood starts pumpin’ I’m feelin’ somethin’ comin’ alive in me I feel the rhythm of your heartbeat Echo in my chest You give me all these feelings Unlike all the rest Make’s my body move My blood starts pumpin’ I’m feelin’ somethin’ comin’ alive.. I feel the rhythm of your heartbeat Echo in my chest You give me all these feelings Unlike all the rest Make’s my body move My blood starts pumpin’ I’m feelin’ somethin’ comin’ alive in me Don’t you know you’re my rhythm & my groove? You make me move I raise a hallelujah, yea You make me move

Ghost 03:08
lyrics

Late one night I found you Sitting on the floor The pages started turning To Romans chapter four My knees began to buckle Your presence I could sense Like you knew I needed you How’s this coincidence? Speak to me The Ghost in me, He said.. Come with me The Ghost in me, He said.. I spent the night in Hebrews Re-read eleven one Took a trip to Genesis Chapter twenty-one But, the story isn’t over The Ghost He wasn’t through Jehovah Jireh spoke to me In chapter 22 Speak to me The Ghost in me, He said.. Come with me The Ghost in me, He said.. In the eleventh hour He told me, “Don’t you quit.” “In fifty-nine more minutes.. You’ll see that this is it.” I’ve got a nasty habit That gets the best of me You see, I just lose sight of The things that I can’t see Speak to me The Ghost in me, He said.. Come with me The Ghost in me, He said..

Push the pedal to the floor Fire that motor up once more Just one last, final ride Rev it up & let it roar What are we still waiting for? Let’s, leave this town behind You & me (soon we’ll be) On this road out of nowhere The night is ours Under the stars I’ll see you around Just say when it’s.. Goin’ down (down down) Did you hear the sound? Goin’ ‘round (‘round ‘round) We’re leavin’ town The gang’s all here I’ve gotta go Let’s move on with the show So, let’s roll Waive goodbye & buckle up I’m gettin’ out, I’ve had enough Shot gun! Slap my hand No lookin’ back & no regrets Pick me up, is it time yet? This town is like quicksand Me & you (drivin’ on through) This narrow road out of nowhere The night is ours Under the stars I’ll see you around Just say when it’s.. Goin’ down (down down) Did you hear the sound? Goin’ ‘round (‘round ‘round) We’re leavin’ town The gang’s all here I’ve gotta go Let’s move on with the show So, let’s roll It’s goin’ down (down down) Did you hear the sound?

We are the candlelight Which flickers in the dark We are the dynamite The matchbox & the spark Rise now! Gather ‘round This moment’s yours to take Hey now! Don’t wait around History’s yours to make (Listen up! Spread the news) (Tell every boy & girl) (We are the flame, the spark, the day) (The brightest light in the world) Wake ‘em up What’s that.. What’s that sound? Shake ‘em up Like thunder underground Light ‘em up Let the world see Revival’s comin’ So join me Do you feel somehow Just so much more alive? Do you hear it now? Ten thousand voices cry Stand out of the crowd With others just like you Stand tall, heed the call And, be the chosen few (I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE) (Can never be forbidden) (We are the city upon a hill) (The light that can not be hidden) Wake ‘em up What’s that.. What’s that sound? Shake ‘em up Like thunder underground Light ‘em up Let the world see Revival’s comin’ So join me (I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE) (Can never be forbidden) (We are the city upon a hill) (The light that can not be hidden) Wake ‘em up What’s that.. What’s that sound? Shake ‘em up Like thunder underground Light ‘em up Let the world see Revival’s comin’ So join me Wake ‘em up Shake ‘em up Light ‘em up Revival’s comin’
