And if You wanna help me get up off the floor

(Vamp One)

(Vamp Two)(repeat 3x)

My Mama Gave Me Up When I Was Four Years Old
She Didn’t Destroy My Body But She Killed My Soul
Now It’s Cold ‘cause I’m Sleeping In My Back Seat
Understand The Spirit’s Willing But My Flesh Is Weak
Let Me Speak, I Never Had A Chance To Dream
Ten Years Old Finding Love In Dirty Magazines
Ms. December You Remember I Bought You Twice
Now I’m Thirty Plus And Still Paying The Price
Had A Sister That I Barely Knew
Kind Of Got Separated By The Age Of Two
Same Mama Different Daddy So We Couldn’t Fake It
I Saw My Sister’s Daddy Beat Her In The Tub Naked
Take It Serious The Demons In The Man’s Mind
The Same Daddy With Rape Charges Now He’s Doing Time
Crack Followed And Like Daddy Prison Thirteen Years
Haven’t Her But She’s Traded Tears For Fears

[chorus]
Shout. Shout
Let It All Out
These Are The Things I Can Do Without
So Come On
I’m Talking To You
So Come On

Sex Was How I Made It Through
Without Someone To Teach You Love What Else Is There To Do?
So Where I’m From They Call You Gay And Say You Ain’t A Man
Show Them You Ain’t No Punk
Get All The Girls You Can
A Simple Plan That Still Haunts Me Even Now Today
Back To Seventeen And Got A Baby On The Way
No G.e.d. All I See Is Failure In My Eyes
If You Listening Then Remember I Apologize
I Was Raised Falling In The Church
Made Mistakes Heard The Lord’s Calling In The Church
After Service On The Parking Lot Getting High
Wanted To Be Excepted So Bad I Was Willing To Die
Even Tried To Tell The Pastor But He Couldn’t See
Years Of Low Self Esteem And Insecurities
Church Taught Me How To Shout And How To Speak In Tongues
But Preacher Teach Me How To Live Now When The Tongue Is Done, Help Me

[chorus]

See I’m. See I’m
Soul Surviver. Soul Surviver
World Surviver
I Just Wanna Let It Go
World Surviver, Soul Surviver
Just Wanna Let It Go

Jesus Please On My Knees Can’t You Hear My Crying
You Said To Put It In Your Hands And Lord I’m Really Trying
You Wasn’t Lying When You Said You’d Reap What You Sow
Like That Night Mama Died
Hard To Let It Go
You Adopted Me
Cared For Me
And Changed My Name
But I Cursed At You
Lied To You
Left Your Pain
It’s Not Strange I Can Still See It In My Head
To Know For Hours You Were Laying In That Bed
If You Listening To This Record,
If It’s Day Our Night
If Your Mama Still Living Treat Your Mama Right
Don’t Be Like Me And Let That Moment Slip Away
And Be Careful Cause You Can’t Take Back What You Say
To My Real Mama If You Listening I’m Letting It Go
To My Father I Forgive You ‘cause You Didn’t Know
The Pain Was Preparation For My Destiny
And One More Thing Lord Let My Son Be A Better Man Than Me

[chorus 2x]

Oh Oh Lord Oh Lord
Gather Around Me Now Ooh
When I Must Breed Oh Lord
My Last Breath Inside Ooh
But Lord In My Dying Hour Aah Aah Aah
Stay With Me Lord Ooh Ooh Ooh

Oh Oh Lord
My Friends Are Gather Around
They Watching Me Slowly
I’m Slowly Sinking Down
But Lord In My Dying Hour
Stay With Me Lord

Well And Now Lord Be With Me Jesus
And Now Lord Be With Me Jesus
And Now Jesus Be With Me Jesus
Time Has Come
When I Must Leave
My Earthly Home

But I’m Not Worried
I’m Not Afraid
Cause I Know You Will Do Jesus
Just What You Said

Said Your Be With Me Lord
Day And Night

Oh Oh Lord
I Know You Would Stand By Your Word
When Ever I Call You

Lord In My Dying Hour
Stay With Me Lord

Oh Now Lord

Waiting For Me Up There

Oh Oh Lord
Talking About Waiting On Me
What A Reunion
I Know That That Will Be

Stay With Me Lord

Oh And Now Lord
Now Lord Lord
Right Now
We Need You Lord
Is It Anybody Out There
That Need Him Like I Do
I Need Him
In My Home

As I Walk
This Narrow Way

When My Way Get Dark
I Get All By Myself
When Don’t Nobody Want To Be Bother With Me
I Get All By Myself
I Just Call Him
Oh Jesus
I Wanna Thank Him Right Now
Clothes On My Back
Shoes On My Feet
Want He Make A Way

VERSE 1
Falling in love with Jesus
Falling in love with Jesus
Falling in love with Jesus
Is the best thing that I’ve ever done

(REPEAT)

VERSE 2
In His arms I feel protected
In His arms Never disconnected

And There’s no place I’d rather, rather be

REPEAT VERSE 1, THEN VERSE 2

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

God knows you put your life in two a times
And it’s both cradled you and crushed
But now it’s time to make your own demands
Whoa

All these years later and it’s killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don’t need convincing at all
I love this place enough to have no doubt
Whoa

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more from this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always

I’m having the day from hell,
it was all going so well (before you came)
And you told me you needed space,
With a kiss on the side my face (not again)
And not to mention (the tears I shed)
But I should have kicked your (ass instead)
I need intervention
Attention to to stop temptation to scream

‘cause baby

[chorus:]
Everything is F’ed up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up where do I start
‘cause I can’t turn to you when it all falls apart
No

Don’t know where I parked my car
Don’t know who my real friends are (anymore)
I put my faith in you
What a stupid thing to do (when it rains it pours)
And not to mention (I drank too much)
I’m feeling hung over (and out of touch)
I need intervention
Attention to to stop temptation to scream

‘cause baby

[chorus]

Can it be easier?
Can I just change my life?
‘cause it just seems to go bad everytime
Will I be mending?
another one ending once again

[chorus x2]

Falls apart
Gotta pick myself up ‘cause things are messed up

After 12, not so well
Won’t pretend, it’s too soon to tell
What’s round this bend?
No disgrace, about face
Anything not to have to chase you down again
You know nothing hurts like loosing
When you know it’s really gone
Except for the pain of choosing
To hold too long

[Chorus:]
I tried it your way
But I got nothing to show
It’s been the same, same
And the story’s getting old
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road
For us it’s too late
Let the credits start to roll

[Verse 2:]
A lot to say
But not today
Let the radio break the silence
As we drive
A kiss goodbye
Not this time
Don’t remember what about this song
I ever liked
You know nothing hurts like loosing
When you know I’m already gone
Except for the pain of choosing
To hold too long

[Chorus:]
I tried it your way
But I got nothing to show
It’s been the same, same
And the story’s getting old
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road
For us it’s too late
Let the credits start to roll

[Bridge:]
I thought maybe we were getting somewhere
But we’re still nowhere at all
I watched your tail lights fading
I try but it still won’t fall
I remember what it feels like to know love
And have it taken away
Can’t think of what I’ve learned right now
But I’ll be thanking you someday

[Chorus:]
I tried it your way
But I got nothing to show
It’s been the same, same
And the story’s getting old
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road
For us it’s too late
Let the credits start to roll

Let the credits start to roll
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road,
End of the road

She was giving the world
So much that she couldn’t see
And she needed someone to show her,
Who she could be.
And she tried to survive
Wearing her heart on her sleeve
And I needed you to believe

You had your dreams, I have mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.

La dee da dee da

She was in her room, watching from far away.
She was given a role, never knew just when to play.
And she tried to survive
Living her life on her own
Always afraid of the throne
You’re going to need the strenth to find home.

You had your dreams, I have mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.

She was scared
Unprepared.
Lost in the dark.
Falling Apart,
I can survive,
With you by my side.
We’re gonna be alright.
This is what happens when two worlds collide.

You had your dreams, I have mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You show me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.
La dee da dee da

You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.
When two different worlds collide.

How could you know
That behind my eyes a sad girl cried
And how could you know
That i hurt so much inside
And how could you know
That i’m not the average girl
I’m carrying the weight of the world

YEAH!
So can you get me outta here
Take me away
We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be
Over It

I’m playin the role
Of the happy girl
But no one knows
Inside i’m alone
But i would never let it show
I get everyday
Too much work and not enough play
Over and over
It’s always the same
YEAH!
But you can make everything OK…

Take me away
We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be
Over it
Over it

And when the world is closin’ in
I can leave it all and just walk away
I can always start all over again
I am closer to a better day
Take me away
We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be

Take Me Away
Take Me Away
Take Me Away

We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be

Over It
Over It
I am Over It

wanna believe what I believe
That someday the future holds for me
Something special, yet something unique
Somewhere over the rainbow

Chorus:
I wanna be that girl who has everything
I wanna wish that I’m better, I’m gonna make it rain
I wanna fly like a bird and spread my wings
Come on, come on, come on
Hear me everything
I deserve on I can get you nothing you’ve seen
(I’m not really sure if that’s the right lyric, it’s hard to understand)
No, nothing yet
I’m gonna grab the brassy golden ring
Come on, come on
I want everything

Don’t need to dream cuz it’s all comin’ true
Don’t give me a choice cuz there’s nothin’ to choose
I’m on a mission, I’m not gonna lose
So don’t bet against me

I know it’s gonna happen
It’s a glorious fashion
I’ll know when I’m dancin’
In my mansion

Chorus 1x
(I want everything)

Don’t try cuz if you try
They’ll try to take it from you
Don’t try cuz if you try
They’ll try to take it from you

I wanna be that girl who has everything
(I don’t know these words) but it’s good to be me
I’m gonna fly like a bird and spread my wings
Come on, come on
I want everything

(Come on, come on, come on…)
Come on, come on
Hear me everything

I deserve on I can get you nothing you’ve seen
No, nothing yet
I’m gonna grab the brassy golden ring
Come on, come on
I want everything

I know it’s gonna happen…
Come on, come on…
It’s a glorious fashion
You’ll know when I’m dancin’
Come on, come on…
In my mansion
I want everything

I deserve on I can get you nothing you’ve seen
No, nothing yet
I’m gonna grab the brassy golden ring
Come on, come on
I want everything
