"Because the Past Influences the Present"1
Keep me runnin'
From the shadow of my lies
Like a gypsy
Who is never satisfied
Once you compromise your soul
You spend a lifetime dodging the devil's toll
0
Keep me runnin'
Keep me coverin' up my tracks
Keep me runnin' so i'm always looking back
Always restless in my dreams
And trouble's never too far behind it seems
Keep me runnin'
Keep me movin'
Keep me always on the go
Keep me makin' sure my footprints never show
Keep me runnin'
Keep me movin'
Keep me numb from head to toe
Keep me hiding where my past will never go
2
Keep me runnin'
From the sins i can't erase
Like an outlaw
With a mask to hide his face
Once i was told that love could fly
Yeah, but it's been so long
that I just don't remember why
1 Sarah, can I love you? Will you open up the door? I know you've heard that misused word A lot of times before But I think that you need someone Who can firmly take your hand And love you in a way That you can really understand 2 Sarah, will you love me? You've got so much there to give We waited for so long to change The lonely way we live And I see the fragile lady That you hide behind your eyes And I want so much to reach you When I hear those distant cries 3 Sarah, someone loves you In a way I never could He laid his life before you On a cross made out of wood Oh, and in his hour of anguish Our dreams were given birth I hope you finally realize How much your love is worth
1 There is a redeemer Jesus, God's own Son Precious Lamb of God, Messiah Holy One 2 Jesus my redeemer Name above all names Precious Lamb of God, Messiah Oh, for sinners slain 0 Thank you, oh my father For giving us Your Son And leaving Your Spirit 'Til the work on Earth is done 3 When I stand in Glory I will see His face And there I'll serve my King forever In that Holy Place
1 Make my life a prayer to you I wanna do what you want me to No empty words and no white lies No token prayers no compromise I wanna shine the light you gave Through your son you sent to save us From ourselves and our despair It comforts me to know you're really there 0 Well I wanna thank you know For being patient with me Oh it's so hard to see When my eyes are on me 0 I guess I'll have to trust And just believe what you say Oh you're coming again Coming to take me away 2 I wanna die and let you give Your life to me so I might live And share the hope you gave me The love that set me free I wanna tell the world out there You're not some fable or fairy tale That I've made up inside my head You're God the son and you've risen from the dead
1 Well here you are Lying bleeding on a grimy street See the broken glass Sparkling darkly as it cuts your feet Smell the rotting stench The rancid odor of old Cantonese Feel the toxic flames all around you You can hardly breathe come with me 0 Come on, I've got something to show you Come on, you thought that it was over Come on, you're really gonna love this Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on We can dig you a home deep in the ground Bury your soul down in Dragontown We'll be lower than low spiraling down Far as you wanna go down in Dragontown 2 Open any door Remember everyone you meet before Oh there's a wicked young man Cooking slowly in a frying pan And a family of bones Hung back together, sleeping all alone Then there's Alice dear And all the little things that got him here, Now you're here 0 end [2x] We can dig you a home deep in the ground Bury your soul down in Dragontown We'll be lower than low spiraling down Far as you wanna go down in Dragontown
1 I'm in control I got a bulletproof soul And I'm full of self-esteem I invented myself with no one's help I'm a prototype supreme I sit on my private throne And run my lifestyle all alone Me, myself and I agree We don't need nobody else 0 I never learned to bow, bend or crawl To any known authority I really want to build my statue tall That's all I'm just trying to be God. I only wanna be God. I just wanna be God. Why can't I be God? 2 I got no time to take advice I want to gamble with my eternity with loaded dice I don't need a preacher in my face When I'm the omnipresent ruler of the human race Ain't gonna spend my life being no one's fool I was born to rock and I was born to rule But if I'm wrong on judgement day I'm royally screwed with hell to pay E(2x) I'm just trying to be God. I only wanna be God. I just wanna be God. Why can't I be God?
