Closer

Yes I will rise
Out of these ashes rise
From this trouble I have found
And this rubble on the ground
I will rise
Cause he who is in me
Is greater than I will ever be
And I will rise

Sometimes my heart is on the ground
And hope is nowhere to be found
Love is a figment I once knew
And yet I hold on to what I know is true

Yes I will rise
Out of these ashes rise
From this trouble I have found
And this rubble on the ground
I will rise
Cause he who is in me
Is greater than I will ever be
And I will rise

Well I keep on coming to this place
That I don't know quite how to face
So I lay down my life in hopes to die
That somehow I might rise

Yes I will rise
Out of these ashes rise
From this trouble I have found
And this rubble on the ground
I will rise
Cause he who is in me
Is greater than I will ever be
And I will rise

I just want something real
So tired of hiding how I feel
I can't take another step
Cause I'm already out of breath

And the weight of it all is pulling me under
And the weight of it all is making me wonder

How can we know so much
Yet still be so out of touch
And how we miss the point
When its all about, all about love

Can You show me something new
Can You show me what is true
I need more than just religion
Cause I'm religiously unmoved

And the weight of it all is pulling me under
And the weight of it all is making me wonder

How can we know so much
Yet still be so out of touch
And how we miss the point
When its all about, all about love

Does anybody feel this
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like they don't belong
Does anybody see this
Does anybody see this way
Does anybody see this way is wrong
I just want something real

And the weight of it all is pulling me under
And the weight of it all is making me wonder

How can we know so much
Yet still be so out of touch
And how we miss the point
When its all about, all about love

Everybody wants, not everybody needs
Everybody hurts, not everybody bleeds
Everybody has words, sometimes is just talk
Everybody tries, not everybody walks
You got to redefine your mind

I believe there's a better way
Something's out of place
I believe there's a better way
Something's got to change

So many things that are running around in you
So many things pulling and tugging you from what is true
Fight, give, stand, and live for love
You got to redefine your mind

I believe there's a better way
Somethings out of place
I believe there's a better way
Somethings got to change

Man, these things they just ain't fitting
Like pretty politicians, hoping he can fix what's missing
By taking out the competition
They like to yell and such
I like the softer touch
All they do is talk so much when all we need is change
Not monetarily, the end of the world is approaching scarily
Well, not to be personally
But to a friend, I mind this terribly
Caught off guard, when he realized that our love is hard
Then he realized that day to day, he could find a better way

Sing it
There's got to be a better way you see
How bout the way it's supposed to be
A better way you see
How bout the way it's supposed to be
Everybody now
