I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, Where you been?
He said, Ask anything.
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Why’d you have to wait
To find me, to find me?

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It would been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me

It's been so long since
You felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know
There's a place where you belong
Here in My Arms
Chorus:
When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call My name and I'll be there
You just call My name and I'll be there
The pain inside
Has erased your hope for love
Soon you will find
That I'll give you all
That your heart could ever want
And so much more
Chorus:
When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call My name and I'll be there
You just call My name and I'll be there
You just call My name
You just call My name
Call My name say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
Call My name say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
You just call My name
You just call My name
You just call My name
The love I have for you is so alive
The love I have for you is so alive
You just call My name
You just call My name
You just call My name

Hey!
Everytime I try to go in alone I get shut down,
Locked up and held captive in the clutches of my down
We go back, we go forth,
We go back
I'm sick with vertigo
Weary of my ways, my days
My lips are frozen
I wanna feel a new day
(There's gotta be more than this)
I wanna live a new way
(There's gotta be more)
I wanna feel a new day
(There's gotta be more)
I wanna live a new way
(There's just gotta be more)
Right here, right now
Under the stars, I promise you my heart
Cause it starts tonight!
We wanna rise,
We wanna touch the other side
(It starts tonight!)
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more
(Cause it starts tonight!)
We wanna rise,
We wanna touch the other side
(It starts tonight)
We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
(Cause it starts tonight)
Tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
Can't feel like any night before
Under the sky full of stars
With hearts that want more
(Tonight)
Like the rhythm no dam can hold
Bein' drivin by a source overflowin our souls
(Tonight)
Won't be like any night we have seen
It changes everything (e-e-e-e-everything)
Right here right now
Under the stars
I promise you my heart
Cause it starts tonight!
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side
(It start tonight!)
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more,
(Cause it starts tonight!)
We wanna rise,
We wanna touch the other side
(It starts tonight!)
We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
(Cause it starts tonight!)
Tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
So let us seize this night
Let us make off great
It's on like the break of dawn
So let us seize this night
Let us make our flight
It's on like the break of dawn
Tonight
Tonight
Cause it starts tonight!...
Cause it starts tonight!
I wanna feel a new day
I wanna live a new way
(It starts tonight)
I wanna feel a new day
I wanna live a new way
(We don't wanna fall tonight!)
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side
(We wanna shine tonight!)
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more
(We don't wanna fall tonight)
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side

We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
(We don't wanna fall tonight)
Tonight tonight
(We wanna shine tonight!)
Tonight tonight
Cause it starts tonight!

Someone throw your hands up
If you wanna take a chance
Then you gotta sing a little louder
Let's wake this crowd up
Someone throw your hands up
If you wanna take a chance
Then you gotta sing a little louder
Let's wake this crowd up
I got a hankerin' for something special
Tonight's the night it becomes official
Don't stop the rock, hold both your hands up
S-show these people how to shake things up
I'm not sittin' down till I'm older
And I'm not shuttin' up till it's over
Raise your hands and shout if you're with me
Then once we start it won't make a difference
If you wanna live life loud throw your hands up
If you wanna scream and shout lemme hear you
Takin' all the fakers out if you're with me
Everybody work it, just keep living
Wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
I started figurin' with good intentions
Listen up now, give me your attention
Don't make a sound if you don't believe me
You won't wake up, you'll just keep living
Wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
I'm not sittin' down till I'm older
And I'm not shuttin' up till it's over
Raise your hands and shout if you're with me
Then once we start it won't make a difference
If you wanna live life loud throw your hands up
If you wanna scream and shout lemme hear you
Takin' all the fakers out if you're with me
Everybody work it, just keep living
Every time that I close my eyes,
I catch a glimpse of the west coast sunrise
And I can tell you you're just as beautiful
Someone throw your hands up
If you wanna take a chance
Then you gotta sing a little louder
Let's wake this crowd up
Someone throw your hands up
If you wanna take a chance
Then you gotta sing a little louder
Let's wake this crowd up
If you wanna live life loud throw your hands up
If you wanna scream and shout lemme hear you
Takin' all the fakers out if you're with me
Everybody work it, just keep living
Wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
(Just keep living)
Wow, oh, oh

[Interlude:]
I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love that knows that it's all mine
Oh.oh, oh
Do what you want,
But you never gonna break me,
Sticks and stone are never gonna shake me
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus:]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
[Interlude]
I got pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love that knows that it's all mine
Oh, oh, oh
Wish that you could,
But you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you can to control me
Oh, oh, oh
[chorus]
[Hook:]
When the slaves that are go
Where nobody knows
And I call it home
When there's no more lies
And darkness is light
And nobody cries
There's only butterflies
[Chorus x2]
[Chorus & Interlude]
The sun's on my side
Wave me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright
The sun's on my side
Wave me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright

At twenty years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A wars already waged
For my destiny
But you've already won the battle
and you've got great plans for me
Though I cant always see
(Chorus)
Cause I've got a couple dents in my fender
I've got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to put the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
and on my own I'm so clumsy
But on your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life would turn out right
and id make it here some how
But things dont come that easy
and sometimes I would doubt
(Chorus)
And you're free to be you
Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring
But you look at my heart and you tell me
That I've got all your secrets
And its easy to believe
Even though
(Chorus) x2
And you're free to be you

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
[Chorus:]
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
[Chorus:]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

(feat. Kierra Sheard)
I just wanna tell the truth mayne [x5]
[Verse 1:]
Your so fly your so high
Everbody around you trying to figure out why
Your so cool your win all the time
Everywhere you go man you get alot of shine
You draw like a magnet better yet I have it
Everything you wear people say they got have it
From the sweat suit to the white tee to the gucci
You can probably say people wanna get like me
[Hook:]
But what they don't know is when you go home
And get behind closed doors man you hit the floor
And what they can't see is your on your knees
So the next time you get it just tell em
[Chorus:]
It's the God in me [x5]
You think I'm so fresh you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet It's the God in me
[Kierra Sheard:] What is it you think you see
[Verse 2:]
You see her style you think she nice
You look at her whip you say the whip tight
You look at her crib you thinks she's paid
You look at her life you think she's got it made
But everything she's got the girl's been given
She calls it a blessing but you call it living
When it comes to money she can be a hero
She writes them cheacks with a whole lot of zeros
[Hook:]
But what they don't know is when you go home
And get behind closed doors man you hit the floor
And what they can't see is your on your knees
If you ask her she'll tell you
[Chorus:]
It's the God in me [x5]
You think I'm so fresh you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet It's the God in me
[Kierra Sheard:] What is it you think you see
[Kierra Sheard:] What is it you think you see
When you see me, you see me
You don't know how much I pray
Don't know how much I gave
Don't know how much I changed
I'm just tryna explain
[Chorus:]
It's the God in me [x5]
You think I'm so fresh you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet It's the God in me
[Kierra Sheard:] What is it you think you see

Light that reflects in the mirror
Showing the essence of who I am
Made from pure perfection
I'm connected to the one, therefore I am
One to rise above all the ugliness
Evolve into a world of selflessness
I can see love and no love can be higher than this
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
You will find love, and no love can be higher than this
Feeling like everything going wrong
Take a step back and edit yourself
There's a hero in you waitin' to happen
Make the choice to take a chance and save yourself
You gotta let go of your insecurity
Explore the passion in your possibilities
You will find love and no love can be higher than this
What can be higher than this?
Love, ain't nobody love me like you do
So I gotta tell the world that
You are in everything that I do
Ain't nobody love me like you do
There's no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this?
Uh, uh, higher than this
I need someone to tell me
'Cause I don't see nothing else more
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, higher than this)
Don't nobody know the love that I feel right now
What can be higher than this?
There's no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this?
You will find love
See all you got to do is just let him in
(You will find love)
Anything you dream of is gonna to happen
(You will find love)
Just let it go
There's no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this?
Love, ain't nobody love me like you do
So I gotta tell the world that you are in everything that I do
Ain't nobody love me like you do
There's no love more higher than this
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?
What can be higher than this?

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tar
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, he's buying time
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been there a million times
A couple of million eyes just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well, I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way You see the people all alone
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
That I keep missing
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse 1
tonight the stars are dancing to the song the angels sing
I hear your whisper on the breeze
and every sound echos the rythym of your heart as I begin to fade into
this lovely night, I'm alive
Chorus
our worlds collide
I'm lost in time, heaven kisses me tonight
your heart with mine,
it beats in time and I know why I am alive
Verse 2
now that I've found you I could never let you go away
you've left my life never the same
sing over me and let me hear the words you wrote for me
Whisper the words that set my spirit free, sing to me
Chorus
our worlds collide
I'm lost in time, heaven kisses me tonight
your heart with mine,
it beats in time and I know why I am alive

She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call
from our knees
We're gonna get there soon
If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singing this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Cause you are all that I've waited for
All of my life
(We're gonna get there)
You are all that I've waited for
All of my life
You pull me closer to love hu huuh
Closer to love hu huuuh
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh
Closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love

Come down to the river
Come and let yourself in
Make good on a promise
To never hurt again
If you're lost and lonely
You're Broken down
Bring all of your troubles come lay 'em down
All you sinners
And the weak at heart
All you helpless
On the boulevards
Wherever you are now
Whatever evil you've found
Bring all of your troubles
And come lay 'em down
We're all tied to the same old failings
Finding shelter in things we know
We're all dirty like corrupted small towns
We'll bring our troubles
We'll bring our troubles lay 'em down
All you rich men
And the high above
All those with And without love
All you burdened Broken down
Bring all of your troubles
Come lay 'em down
. . .

this is the start
this is your heart
this is the day you were born
this is the sun
these are your lungs
this is the day you were born
and I am always yours
these are the scars
deep in your heart
this is the place you were born
this is the hole
where most of your soul
comes ripping out
from the places you've been torn
and it is always yours
but I am always yours
hallelujah!
I'm caving in
hallelujah!
I'm in love again
hallelujah!
I'm a wretched man
hallelujah!
every breath is a second chance
and it is always yours
and I am always yours

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.
