I can't walk through these streets anymore,
Many times I've been tempted to knock on your front door
(All I want is to hear your voice)
But you left for the sky
(You made your choice, you made your choice)
But you left for the sky
(You made your choice, you made your choice)
And the nights seem darker, believe me I know
But the cutting of skin or the breaking of bones
Will never fix you, will never heal you
This life is yours to live, this life is yours to cherish
This life is yours to cherish
You got to hold on or your day will never come around
How can any good come if you're six foot underground?
(If you're six foot underground)
And the nights seem darker, believe me I know
But the cutting of skin or the breaking of bones
Will never fix you, will never heal you
Will never fix you, will never heal you
Will never fix you, will never heal you
Will never fix you, will never heal you
I can't walk through these streets anymore,
Many times I've been tempted to knock on your front door
(All I want is to hear your voice)
But you left for the sky
(You made your choice, you made your choice)
But you left for the sky
(You made your choice, you made your choice)
What if I was there?
To cut the ropes, to hold you close
To tell you that life isn't as bad as we believe
Life isn't as sad as these days seem to be
What if I was there?
To tell you that I needed you, would that change a thing?
I didn't get to say I loved you, I didn't get to say I loved you
I will scream up above for you, I love you
Would that change a thing?
Would that change a thing?
Would that change a thing?
Would that change a thing?
Cause I've been searching everywhere for you
But I can't find even the slightest trace
But I can't find the slightest trace
I can't walk through these streets anymore,
Many times I've been tempted to knock on your front door
(All I want is to hear your voice)
But you left for the sky
(You made your choice, you made your choice)
But you left for the sky
(You made your choice, you made your choice)

I severed the ties and covered my tracks,
Tore the page from the book and never looked back.
You're the story that I wish I never knew;
Knowing in my heart I'll always remember you.
At the end of the day my conscience is clear
Tell me what the fuck do you see when you look in the mirror?
I'm just stuck, caught in the webs you've weaved
I hate everything you are, even the breath you breathe.
Maybe some day I'll move on and forget
And fall away from this state of regret
But until then just know my energy's spent
On better things than you, on which I can depend
I severed the ties and covered my tracks,
Tore the page from the book and never looked back.
You're the story that I wish I never knew;
Knowing in my heart I'll always remember you.
And to think I wrote this song for you
Wasted actions and words that I can not undo
That I cannot undo
So you just try and forget me
So you can try
(Forget me)
Nights spent on you have been thrown aside
(I am free, forget me)
Nights spent alone have shown the light
(Have shown the light, have shown the light, have shown the light)
Nights spent on you have been thrown aside
(I am free, forget me)
Nights spent alone have shown the light
(Have shown the light, have shown the light, have shown the light)

In Hopes

We all want to give up (sometimes)
We all want to tie ropes
Believe me, I know
I've been down that road (to be let down)
With high hopes
With high hopes
And when it feels that all is lost
And your whole world has stopped
It's okay to feel this way
Just hold on for another day
The love you withhold is the pain you carry
The past is dead, and burdens buried
And hope shines through in the simplest of things
Open your heart and let life flow in
We all want to give up (sometimes)
We all want to tie ropes
Believe me, I know
I've been down that road (to be let down)
With high hopes
With high hopes
You will light the path
And guide the way
To paradise and greater days
Cause there are things we don't know
And there are things we must learn
We will suffer, and bridges must burn (It's hard to keep sight)
And this is my word
Don't bleed blind to your worth
And when it feels that all is lost
And your whole world has stopped
It's okay to feel this way
Just hold on for another day

First Light

You were the first light in my life, I've never seen a star shine so bright
Forgive me if I am indifferent,
(I will never forget you)
Guide me home to where I belong
Help me find the right in my wrongs
Guide me home, because I am lost
Without you
And maybe some day in those infinite skies
Where the wise await with bliss in their eyes
I will meet you again, and know your touch
I will know your voice, and I will know your love
Your absence has carved its mark into my chest
I could never imagine the way it is now
I try to find you inside clouds
Maybe it's true, and we're all alone
But wherever you are is where I am home
Where have you been?

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor.
That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery.
We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone.
And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful.
You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don’t hate!
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “The Kingdom of God is within man”
Not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful.
