Fear in me so deep it gets the best of me In the fear I fall, here it comes face to face with me Here I stand hold back so no one can see I feel these wounds, step down, step down, step down. --TRUSTcompany, "Downfall"

Tell me how does it feel When it comes to you and all the the things you say, to me You make me feel like nothing (like nothing) When you bring me down I fall apart and wrestle with myself, inside I'm nothin'

I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the STREETS have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear Without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name U2, Where the STREETS have no name

It's good to know that you are home for Christmas It's good to know that you are doing well It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting It's good to know I'm feeling not so well Because my inside is outside My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writing to reach you now but I might never reach you Only want to teach you About you --Travis, "Writing to Reach You"

The winter here's cold and bitter It's chilled us to the bone We haven't seen the sun for weeks Too long, too far from home I feel just like I'm sinking And I claw for solid ground I'm pulled down by the undertow I never thought I could feel so low Oh darkness I feel like letting go --Sarah McLachlan, "Full of Grace"

Grace, she takes the blame. She covers the shame. Removes the stain. It could be her name.
Grace,it's a name for a girl. It's also a thought that could change the world. When she walks on the street you can hear the strings. Grace finds goodness in everything.

I see the blood all over your hands Does it make you feel more like a man? Was this all just a part of your plan? The pistol's shaking in my hand, and all I hear is the sound
I love you I hate you I can't get around you I breathe you I taste you I can't live without you I just can't take anymore This life of solitude I guess that I'm out the door And now I'm done with you.

The scaffold was high, eternity near, She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans. In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones.
Now she walks these hills in a long black veil. She visits my grave when the night winds wail. Nobody knows; nobody sees; Nobody knows but me.
"Long Black Veil" - Johnny Cash

Without you one NIGHT alone Is like a year without you baby Do you have a heart of stone? Without you Can't stop the hurt inside When love and hate collide

This deformed society is part of the design. It'll never go away (it's in the cards that way). The masses of humanity have always, always had to suffer! A door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you. The masses of humanity, still clinging to their dignity, The masses of humanity will always have to suffer. Always have to suffer.

Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling I'm tied to the threads of some prayer Saying, When will she summon me When will she come to me What must I do to prepare When she bends to my longing Like a willow, like a fountain She stands in the luminous air And the night comes on And it's very calm I lie in her arms and she says, When I'm gone I'll be yours, yours for a song

You're gonna make it you're gonna rise from the ashes you're gonna make it through it all I know your heart is breaking oh how I wish I could be there 'till then I'll hold you I'll hold you in this song.

Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn
I dreamt if I could lay you upon this bed of straw We may break the rules but we don't break the law Come across but the river's too wide Come across but the river's too high Over by the fountain where we meet I will lay silver roses at your feet
Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn

In the morning when I rise, when I’m opening my eyes Yesterday stands in the doorway daring me to dream again Was there pause to smell the rain, did compassion reach the pain? Did I offer all I could, did I look to the common good?
Arise, the sun proclaims the day The wind sets you free, sets you off in a new way Arise, you’ll lift up upon new wings And with the breath of dawn you will have life to sing.

Now Suzanne takes your hand And she leads you to the river She is wearing rags and feathers From Salvation Army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While Suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that you can trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

I know you’re lookin’ for the answers And a place where you belong Take your shoes off, risk the moment There’s no time to fret ‘cause the world needs you to get wet
Get into the river with me Feel the spirit flowing free Below the surface You’ll find your purpose Get into the river you’ll see

Even though she sleeps upon your satin; Even though she wakes you with a kiss. Do not say the moment was imagined; Do not stoop to strategies like this.
As someone long prepared for this to happen, Go firmly to the window. Drink it in. Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing. Your firm commitments tangible again.
And you who had the honor of her evening, And by the honor had your own restored – Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving; Alexandra leaving with her lord.

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby I love your body and your spirit and your clothes But you see that line there moving through the station? I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Will you not agree There’s beauty in each person But do we really see There’s no justice in the slaughter of the innocent but bombs burst angrily and it’s criminality is it worth the price of a child’s life to make us free
A new way we must find To free our world of violence We’ll start with hearts and minds and then convert 300 billion dollar guns if not I must remind there’s truth in Gandhi’s line an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind

I saw you this morning. You were moving so fast. Can't seem to loosen my grip On the past. And I miss you so much. There's no one in sight. And we're still making love In My Secret Life.
I smile when I'm angry. I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do To get by. But I know what is wrong. And I know what is right. And I'd die for the truth In My Secret Life.

I heard the news that you were soon to be a part of this world, in my life a new light rising over the crashing waves the dreams, the light grew bright when I saw your eyes
In our fears God gives them angel’s eyes for a world just they can see there is joy in life though angel’s eyes
Now a desperate world reaches out to me I can feel the hunger what to believe, what do I stand for but all you see are the birds in the sky the trees and their colors the gentle peace of God made clear through the eyes of a child

I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

She's running home from the bruises and the beaches with her little girl in hand, she's picking up the pieces she left behind the bright lights and the hassle spent three days on this bus heading for her childhood castle
She's looking for a rock in the middle of life's ocean a place inside her memory that's safe and warm and holds no harm that's where she wants to be

Every now and the I need to take a little break shed my daily skin, take note of what I've left Grab the wheel and turn it over
Cutting through the heat and the haze hanging low I pass a woman on the street, a women in vagabond clothes I was hoping I wouldn't see you here in this passing land so many miles to go I got to leave you where you stand
