Live The Life

Missing person

Still searching for that boy who had the faith to move a mountain. want the fire back.

Another question in me
One for the powers that be
It's got me thrown and so
I put on my poker face
And try to figure it out
This undeniable doubt
A common occurrence
Feeling so out of place

Guarded and cynical now
Can't help but wondering how
My heart evolved into a
Rock beating inside of me
So i reel, such a stoic ordeal
Where's that feeling that i don't feel?

Chorus:

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
And like a child he would believe without a reason
Without a trace he disappeared into the void and
I've been searching for that missing person

Under a lavender moon
So many thoughts consume me
Who dimmed that glowing light
That once burned so bright in me
Is this a radical phase
A problematical age
That keeps me running
From all that i used to be

Is there a way to return
Is there a way to unlearn
That carnal knowledge
That's chipping away at my soul
I've been gone too long
Will i ever find my way home?

Chorus:

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
And like a child he would believe without a reason
Without a trace he disappeared into the void and
I've been searching for that missing person
He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow
He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow
It's been a long time and i haven't seen him lately but
I've been searching for that missing person

Chorus:

I really wanna see you
I really wanna touch you
If only i could hold you in my arms again
I really wanna reach you
Forever to be with you
If only i could hold you in my arms again

It was written in the stars
On the pages of my heart
Oh, that someday i would find
The love i feel for you tonight

On the ocean of our dreams
Like a prayer you came to me
And the longing that had been
Found its ending in your eyes
And i am missing you tonight

Chorus

Across the waves, across the sea
Separating you from me
Here's a promise and it's mine
I will love you for all time
I'm wishing you were here tonight

Chorus

Preach the gospel to all the world, and if necessary, use words. -st. francis of assisi

We're passengers aboard the train
Silent little lambs amidst the pain
That's no longer good enough
And when it's time to speak our faith
We use a language no one can explain
That's no longer good enough

And god knows it's a shame
As we look to pass the flame
We are not the worthy bearers of his name

Chorus:

For the world to know the truth
There can be no greater proof
Than to live the life, live the life
There's no love that's quite as pure
There's no pain we can't endure
If we live the life, live the life
Be a light for all to see
For every act of love will set you free

There's something beautiful and bold
The power of a million human souls
Come together as one
And each in turn goes out to lead
Another by his word, his love, his deed
Now the circle is done

It all comes back to one
For it is he and he alone
Who has lived the only perfect life we've known

Chorus

Probably the most bizarre and unusual song wayne and i have ever written. a driving song about the craziness of everyday life.

Sometimes i feel like this world
Is just one big gigantic merry-go-round
You gotta hold on tight or you get hurled through the air
Yeah, life is a three-ring circus
With clowns and freaks and camels and such
And you never know when you might be attacked by the bears

Chorus:

Give me love, give me love, love me good
Sometimes i feel like
I'm afraid of my own shadow and then
Sometimes i can feel as bold as genghis khan
But i could never live in a yurt
On a diet of mongolian barbecue
I conquer the world for a moment, then the moment is gone

Chorus

Bridge:

Let us take a moment now to bow our heads and pray
If only to give thanks for making it through another day

Sometimes i wish i was in a movie
Or some 70's tv thing
Where everything gets neatly wrapped by the end of the show
Yeah, but this ain't hollywood
And this sure ain't the brady bunch
And how this plot's gonna all pan out, i don't really know

Chorus

I'm looking at you, old friend of mine
There's no use pretending that everything's fine
Now don't be so brave, don't be so proud
I want you to know that i'm here for you now

I can see you hurting and it's hurting me
It doesn't have to be this way...

Chorus:

(somebody gonna hold your head up)
If you let me hold you closer
(somebody gonna show you the light)
Let me know you
(somebody gonna hold your head up)
Let me show you the way
(somebody gonna see you right)

I'm feeling for you, feeling so much
When this heart is big enough for the both of us
I'll give you my love if you give me your pain
I'll hold it inside of me 'till you're stronger again

Well, i hate seeing you so far away
When not a word can say it enough...

Chorus

Bridge:

I'll be your rock for this day
When i hear you calling out my name
'cause i know you'd only do the same for me

Chorus
