I’ve been holding, for an angel without wings, to stay now, oh to stay now I’ve been wanting, to wake up every morning, no there’s no more faith filled scars Pray for the day Holding for a miracle, something more something spiritual Can I find A heaven with no device Where we can go Trying hard, to understand how Our gods will find a way to say a change is going to come Holding for a miracle Something more something spiritual Trying hard, to understand how Our gods will find a way to say, a change is going to come Chorus Reach past the religion Find there is a wisdom To accept there is no difference, What’s in you, is in you, is in you, is in you Its clearer then clear what must be done, For our children to live in a world that runs on love Someday, all worth, changing, Second Verse I’ve been holding, onto a little dream, Forty two hundred different songs All believe in different keys, And this dream, That I walk into and alls safe Pray for the day, the day we can Reach for meaning in our flaws, undefined bounds Where all are gods are equally at bay, On my knees ill say, a change is going to come 2nd Chorus (double chorus) Reach past the religion Find there is a wisdom To accept there is no difference, What’s in you, is in you, is in you, is in you Its clearer then clear what must be done, For our children to live in a world that runs on love Someday, all worth, changing Reach past the religion Find there is a wisdom To accept there is no difference, What’s in you, is in you, is in you, is in you Its clearer then clear what must be done, for our children to live in a world that runs on love Someday, all worth, changing Bridge: Someday, oneday it’s all going to go When we look back, at what we couldn’t do, that we’re all here just the same And Someday it’s all worth saving When we look ahead, at what we can do, That we’re all here just the same, All the same all the same, all the same all the same Someday, oneday Final chorus: Reach past the religion, find there is a wisdom To accept there is no difference What’s in you is in you is in you is in you Clearer then clear what must be done For our children to live in a world that runs on love, Someday, all worth, saving

Earths Shaking, Moneys Making, Times Wastings, Wars Waging Earths Shaking, Moneys Making, Times Wastings, Wars Waging Earths Shaking, Moneys Making, Times Wastings, Wars Waging I’m going to start slow, not against this war no more Too much anger with no plan If I’m going to be here fighting Politics will stay the same Brought up and caught up and bought up in reigns of change I’m going insane Having a hard run, down down down In days that will come, can this race be won I’m going to until you hear me No, that aint going to work no more. WAR Whats it going to be, Its more then just four years, of blaming just one man We have to make a plan, I’ll never understand, M people, your people, our people are screaming No, that aint going to work no more. Wont doubt my strangers, gone, age old ways Wont doubt my neighbors, lost in this race CHORUS As I try to hide the anger that burns inside of me What do I stand for?! As I look around confounded by the world that I don’t see What do I stand for?! VERSE 2 No education, these trials and tribulations, not making any sense Who’s making, my tax paying, my votes swaying, what keeps me coming back To put my faith in a system, high walls with glass ceilings, making money off of stone cold killing Danger, strangers, paying pretty pennies to pay the player on the greatest stage of them all Moneys made, moneys spent, no idea where it went People come, then they go, pass the torch, same old show No, that’s not going to work no more. Wont doubt my strangers, gone, age old ways Wont doubt my neighbors, I’m lost in this race CHORUS 2 As I try to hide the anger that burns inside of me What do I stand for?! As I look around confounded by the world that I don’t see What do I stand for?! INSTRUMENTAL BREAK As I try to hide the anger that burns inside of me What do I stand for?! As I look around confounded by the world that I don’t see What do I stand for?!

Racing half his live To find a new way In search of new found reason Working for men that claim Who think they’re at the top Who think that they can rob There’s people in the world that are going to stand up No law, is going to bring them down Who do you think you are Playing Russian roulette, with the workers and pay for way to long Its not the color of his skin, or the faith of hymns, If we drop our selfish laws we all win The only sin is not accepting him for his beauty All the people of the world, who had the heart, to stand up care for, where we are No more trouble CHORUS # 1 No more lying No more cheating No more trouble, no more trouble only reason To drop our guards, our selfish laws, In respect there is no flaws Trouble don’t you knock no more Trouble don’t you knock no more Trouble don’t you knock no more Trouble don’t you knock no more Verse 2 Racing half her life To find a new way In search of new found reason Where the matriarch stays Who knew So many men in the world, could be so cruel There’s people in the world that are going to stand up No law, is going to bring them down Who, do you think you are Dirty hands of obsession waging violence and oppression for way to long She’s the power in the morning streets, the power in the heart that beats The one that gave you eyes to see the one that gave you breath to breathe, Show respect and show it soon All the people of the world who had the heart To stand up care for where we are No more trouble CHORUS # 2 No more lying No more cheating No more trouble No more trouble only reason No more lying No more cheating No more trouble No more trouble only reason To drop our gods, our selfish laws, in respect there is n flaws Trouble don’t you knock no more, trouble don’t you knock no more Trouble don’t you knock no more, trouble don’t you knock no more Trouble don’t you knock no more, trouble don’t you knock no more Trouble don’t you knock no more, trouble don’t you knock no more

If every day feels the same And every dream seems to fade You took my fire, you took my drive A Kin to the sounds of your lonely rode Your down in the depths in the heart of my soul Its hard to look around Cant go on, I see there’s something wrong Feeling something deep down home Chorus Here’s to the words that I already know That live in the heart, in the depths of the soul Here’s to the time I spend alone Feeling something deep down home (3-4 part) Day after day, you havn’t changed, blocking my way Day after day, I will refrain, from the shame, the blame, your ways, Verse 2 Now everyday I turn the page And in due time, I begin to think Feeling okay, feeling okay, feeling okay No more, self Loathing, no more self shaming No more, absolutely no more taking From a part of the heart of my soul That feels the fire inside is gone Its time I look around I can go on, I see the strength to come Feeling something deep down home Chorus Here’s to the words that I already know That live in the heart, in the depths of the soul Here’s to the time I spend alone Feeling something deep down home Here’s to the words that I already know Telling stories of a lonely road Strength will come, you can go BRIDGE: Gone are the days That I wake up and say, Wheres my fire, wheres my drive, doubt took over the heart my soul. Day after Day Making my way Day after day GO ON GET OUT OF MY SOUL Make it real Make it feel Make it real Make it feel Day after day, you havn’t changed, blocking my way, day after day, I will refrain From the shame, the blame, your ways Day after day, you havn’t changed, blocking my way, day after day, I will refrain From the shame, the blame, your ways Make it real
