Stacie Orrico

I've been thinking how to step to you
And still try my best to keep my cool
And make sure that I don't break the rules
(While I try to solve a mystery)
Now it seems that everybody knows
But it seems not everybody shows
That love is the only way to go
(No, it doesn't matter what you see)
All I want is for love to live
Let's learn to give love

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about

What love's about; What love's about
What love's about

I'll keep trying hard to help you see
Cause I really wanna' make you see
Help you understand what love can be
(If you'd only, only just believe)
Is there anyway to keep it real
While I try to tell you what I feel
And make sure you really know the deal
(So can anybody talk to me)
All I want is for love to live
Let's learn to give love

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about

What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
What love's about

I'm calling everyone around me
Won't you please, please; Oh tell me
What can make a bond grow stronger
Love can; Love can

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about
[repeat]

What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
Ask what you can
What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
That's what love's all about

Yeah

I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup

Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up
Said he's hungry I don't think that it's true
I bet my dollar he'd just spend it on booze
I turned my back on him and began to walk away
But then I heard a little voice inside me say
What if it's really true what if he's hungry
What if it's not for him, does he have a family

How'd you get here
How'd you end up on the street
Where did it go wrong
Wonder what I'd do if it were me

Chorus
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause I could've lived your life instead

It was 90 degrees in the summer heat
She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet
This is America doesn't she know
Somebody take her shopping, buy her some clothes
She came up to me, I didn't understand a word
I was about to leave than another thought occured
She might be really lost , scared and frustrated
I should try again to see what she's saying

How'd you get here
How'd you get so far from home
What was it that made you leave
Wonder what I'd do if it were me

Chorus
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause I could've lived your life instead

Another day all alone again
Someone please love me
Another game, another broken heart
Why do I do this to myself?
I could look and try to find someone
Who won't leave me lonely
But then I found I didn't need to search
Cause you were the one and you came for me
You fought for my heart and you have won it
You're taking me over and I like that
I tried other love but couldn't feel it
I'm so glad you found me because

I need you so close to me
(Cause you're the)
Only one that makes my life complete
(And lord I)
Know it took so long to see that
You're my security
You won't go away from me
(And now I)
Know that I don't ever have to worry
Cause my heart feels so very free
You're my security

You are my security (There's no denying)
You are my security

Another day, here I go again
Drive myself insane
Stop to think; how could I forget
You're with me every single day
(Now I look)
And I see the One
The only one for me
Cause I don't need to search for
A way to try to be more
I have found a love that's so secure
You fought for my heart and You have won it
You're taking me over and I like that
I tried other love but couldn't feel it
I'm so glad You found me because
Other relationships confuse me
The thought of Your simple love is crazy
You make me feel like no one has before

I need You so close to me
(Cause You're the)
Only one that makes my life complete
(And Lord I)
Know it took so long to see that
You're my security
You won't go away from me
(And now I)
Know that I don't ever have to worry
Cause my heart feels so very free
You're my security
[repeat]

[RAP]

I need You so close to me
(Cause You're the)
Only one that makes my life complete
(And Lord I)
Know it took so long to see that
You're my security
You won't go away from me
(And now I)
Know that I don't ever have to worry
Cause my heart feels so very free
You're my security
[repeat]

As I rest against this cold, hard wall
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war has just begun

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?

Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime
Is there anyway to be made whole again?
If I feel renewed and find forgiveness and find the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plan?

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?

He took my life into his hands and it turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance
It's there I finally found

That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me
Oh Thank You for my chance to start again

Yeah yeah...oh...oh....


I've got it all, but I feel so deprived.
I go up, I come down, and I'm emptier inside.
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
and why can't I let it go?

Chorus:
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure.
There's gotta be more...
than wanting more.

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment, I'm halfway out the door.
On to the next thing, I'm searching
for something that's missing.


Chorus:
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure.

There's gotta be more...
I'm wanting more.
I'm always waiting on something other than this.
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed?

Chorus:
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure.
There's gotta be more...
than wanting more.

Chorus:
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure...

(There's gotta be more) More...ooh yeah..
(More) More to
(To) More to
(Life) More to life...(yeah)
(There' s got be more to life) More to
More to life...
(More) More to
(To) More to
(Life...yeah) There's gotta be more...
(There's gotta be more to life)Oooh...
More to life...

I woke up from dreaming
I returned a call from a friend of mine, she sounded really lonely
But I had somewhere to be
I said I'll call you later
'Cause I really need to go, I can't be late, she'll be okay, this is important
Then I forgot completely

[Bridge:]
You can be who you choose to be
But whether you do, or whether you don't
Depends on your priority
And I know that it's not easy

[Chorus:]
I'm looking for the peace to find some sleep tonight
'Cause I'm
Not very proud of the way I have lived today
But if I choose to
Follow Him along the way
Then maybe I won't look back
Feel like time is gonna pass me by
Then maybe I won't look back

[Bridge 2:]
On those days I could of said something
In those times when help was needed I was busy
I was within the words to see the moment is good
In some way I could have been something
I thought I was done with a simple smile, but I was selfish
But if I change my heart today, tomorrow it may be okay
And maybe I won't look back

I woke up from a nightmare
Where I was talking down this street, invisible and no one else could see me
All my chances were gone
I can't get your attention
I've had many things to say, but never tried, afraid you wouldn't listen
Should of done it all differently

[Bridge]
You can be who you choose to be
But whether you do, or whether you don't
Depends on your priority
Lord help me to choose wisely

[Chorus]
I'm looking for the peace to find some sleep tonight
'Cause I'm
Not very proud of the way I have lived today
But if I choose to
Follow Him along the way
Then maybe I won't look back
Feel like time is gonna pass me by
Then maybe I won't look back

[Bridge 2]
On those days I could of said something
In those times when help was needed I was busy
I was within the words to see the moment is good
In some way I could have been something
I thought I was done with a simple smile, but I was selfish
But if I change my heart today, tomorrow it may be okay
And maybe I won't look back

[Rap:]
I can't hold back, I can't be shy
This is my big chance to be living the life, I gotta
Stand up strong and take the ride
Throw all those useless excuses aside
So much to do, I got a lot to say
I don't always understand but I'll gonna follow anyway
'Cause there is a bigger plan, a destiny
I can't waste this precious time

[Chorus]
I'm looking for the peace to find some sleep tonight
'Cause I'm
Not very proud of the way I have lived today
But if I choose to
Follow Him along the way
Then maybe I won't look back
Feel like time is gonna pass me by
Then maybe I won't look back

[Bridge 2]
On those days I could of said something
In those times when help was needed I was busy
I was within the words to see the moment is good
In some way I could have been something
I thought I was done with a simple smile, but I was selfish
But if I change my heart today, tomorrow it may be okay
And maybe I won't look back

Then maybe I won't look back [x2]
