Rise Again Click here to download chords
No man is an island, but I’m in the waves
And the water’s rising, and I feel right at home
Wanna walk on horizons, but Jesus hasn’t called me from the boat.
It’s hard to stand firm when you’re on the run
Been tryin’ to feel pain, but long ago my heart went numb
Been tryin’ to heal, but don’t know where this blood is comin’ from
I might be dead but I’ll overcome
I wanna live on the edge of dyin’
I wanna bleed til these bones are dry
Wanna burn til there’s nothing left
And I will rise again
I wanna scream til my lungs explode
Fight the devil til it kills my soul
Burn in hell til there’s nothing left
And I will rise again.
Don’t know who I’m fighting, just dodging bullets left and right
Searchin’ for reflections, seein’ shadows without light
I’ve heard your Sundays, but don’t remember them Monday morning
I might be dead but I’ll overcome
I wanna live on the edge of dyin’
I wanna bleed til these bones are dry
Wanna burn til there’s nothing left
And I will rise again
I wanna scream til my lungs explode
Fight the devil til it kills my soul
Burn in hell til there’s nothing left
And I will rise again.
Tell me where are the wonders you promised with this life
I try to pray away the demons but I guess you need something more than a sigh
Well I’ll be your Isaac, I’ll even help you bring down the knife
I wanna live on the edge of dyin’
I wanna bleed til these bones are dry
Wanna burn til there’s nothing left
And I will rise again
I wanna scream til my lungs explode
Fight the devil til it kills my soul
Burn in hell til there’s nothing left
And I will rise again.
Long Time
It’s been a long time since feelin’ the wind blow
It’s been a long time since I’ve been out of shadows
Praying for signs miracles and wonders
Eyes on the ground not knowing I found the answer
Come all you sisters
Come all you brothers
Come to the water
Lift your eyes
Live your life
It’s been a long time since seein’ the sun shine
It’s been a long time since I’ve known what it feels like
Beggin’ for change, tryin’ to raise myself
Not knowing that hope rises from hope I don’t have.
Come all you sisters
Come all you brothers
Come to the water
Lift your eyes
Live your life
Come all you sinners
Come all you lovers
Come to the water
Lift your eyes
Live your life
It’s been a long time since feelin’ the wind blow
Come all you sisters
Come all you brothers
Come to the water
Lift your eyes
Live your life
Come all you sinners
Come all you lovers
Come to the water
Lift your eyes
Live your life
Come all you sisters
Come all you brothers
Come to the water
Lift your eyes
Live your life
Come all you sinners
Come all you lovers
Lay down your troubles
Lift your eyes
Live your life
Crossroads
Like a tall drink of water from an empty well
Honey drippin’ from the tongue of the tales she tell
Ain’t no angel sent form heaven, no
She’s a woman with the devil’s soul
And the devil is callin’ me back home
Forty nights in the desert from where she came
No food no water just the love she made
Ain’t no angel sent from heaven, no
She’s a woman with the devil’s sou
lAnd the devil is callin’ me back home
Here I’m walkin’ at the crossroads callin’
And I don’t know which way to go
Here at the crossroads where it’s love or my soul
Looks like love, she’s callin’ me back home
Saw the flood ‘fore I felt the rain come down
Then I watched as her levee broke this town
I’m a man and I’m standing tall
I will fight after every fall
But understand that I’m just a man, that’s all
Crossroads callin’ to a dead man walkin’
And love, she’s callin’ me back home
Fade Away
Take a look around. You think it’s life you’ve found.
Don’t know that you’re alone
You’ve finally found the dream that girls and money bring
But you’re livin’ all alone
Getting cash and another high.
Living fast for a name in lights
But life keeps fading away
Lookin’ good for the camera lights
Fake smiles and the hazy nights
& life keeps fading away
Playin’ the game again where pretty people win
Livin’ high & dyin’ slow
You can make it rain for days & you can buy yourself some praise
Gain the world but lose your soul
Getting cash and another high.
Living fast for a name in lights
But life keeps fading away
Lookin’ good for the camera lights
Fake smiles and the hazy nights
& life keeps fading away
This is dedicated to all the frustrated underpaid makin’ minimum wage
Stuck between angry and afraid, yeah maybe it’s a phase
But what will happen when that maybe changes to amaze
With no way out feelin’ crazy and deranged because all the
sunshine’s buried underneath the rain.
I’ve been through a few storms, every new fad to the new norm, live and I learn like a school dorm.
But I’m writin’ til I find the quotes & write words that can try to show you how to try to cope & stay afloat until you find your boat
Don’t exchange hope for a line of coke
I’m bein vocal when approaching you, what am I supposed to do?
Life is a game but the player isn’t coachable
So I made a choice to not do it for the social group & give my all international or local show.
I’m tryin’ to talk but you’re tellin’ me to back off. Please dog not today you have problem but you wanna run away like a model on a cat-walk
So here’s what I gotta say, that it helps build character. When you goin’ through it like a hallway, feelin’ like a big fish in a small place, no room to grow, feelin’ insignificant and out of tune like a bad instrument. This is when you’re into it, faith through discipline, and never be homeless when God is where you’re livin in. I know that in the everyday stress gets crazy. When life is a female dog, through Christ she’s a lady. Here I can prove, no need to convince, everything makes sense when you listen to the music. I don’t do it for the thank you or you’re welcomes. When in the end of my hope comes I wanna hear ‘Servant well done.
