NEAL MORSE LYRICS

1. Lifeline

Maker of the sun and shade
The plans were made before the morning
At a time when no one knew
He left a clue and sent us a lifeline... It's fine

Then along came a man like me
With everything laid out before him
Then it all came crashing down
A man can drown from thoughts in his own mind

Like something deep inside my soul
Was sinking fast; I was the hole
When I was almost out of time

He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold

Suffering was nothing new
My days were few without a let down
Something down there deep inside
Dissatisfied with everything I'd find

And in the clouds he sent the sky
Into a desert running dry
He sent a river full of life

He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
He gave me a lifeline right up from the grave

He sent me a lifeline when I was on my own
Far from the borders he came brought me home
He sent me a lifeline when I was down the hole
My world was like an ocean raging out of control

Send me a lifeline
Send me a lifeline

Once upon another time
He made my mind a different color
Painted on my destiny away between
The black and lonely sky... Let's fly!

He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today

He gave me a lifeline
He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today
He gave me a lifeline
Jesus is my lifeline

2. The Way Home

Running from a destiny I wasn't sure was mine
I chose a life of obscurity and I left my dreams behind
I traded my ambitions for the safe and simple life
But lately I feel far away and inside I feel like I

Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home
And if I stay here too long now
I may never find that place where I feel like I belong
Can't find my way home

Seeking out fulfillment in a tiny plastic jar
There isn't much to go around when you don't know who you are
And I know that I'm a child of God but He seems so far away
And it doesn't seem to help me much when I kneel down to pray

Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home
And if I stay here too long now
I may never find that place where I feel like I belong
I know that when I find it I'll have known it all along
I feel like a dark cold night that's reaching for the dawn

Can't find my way home
Show me the way home
Cause if I stay here too long now
I may never find that place where I feel like I belong
Show me the way home
Show me the way home
Lord show me the way home
I know somehow I'll find that place where I feel like I belong
Show me the way home

3. Leviathan

Praise ye the Lord from the earth ya sea monsters
Stretch out your necks let us see ya breathe fire
Out of the depths of the sea comes Leviathan
How many heads will there be on Leviathan?

The serpent was small but swiftly uncoiling
From Pharaoh to Caesar he grew his blood boiling
Out of the depths of the sea comes Leviathan
How many heads will there be on Leviathan?

From his mouth a blazing torch
With sparks of fire leaping forth
And form his nostrils smoke comes dank as death
He sneezes and bright light comes out
He's king of the sons of pride, no doubt
And when he turns on you
YOU BETTER LOOK OUT!

In the day of the Lord He will slay the sea monster
He will punish the dragon that rose from the water
Out of the depths of the sea comes Leviathan
There will be no place to flee for Leviathan
One day we all will be free from Leviathan

4. God's Love

Try as you might, you can't understand it all
And you were living the life,
but then came your tragic fall
And if God's love was real; why the suffering?
But if you ask him to heal on a desert plain
He'll send the rain

The storms may weather, but He will never
God's love won't let you down
When you've fallen under
You don't have to wonder
God's love won't let you down
God's love won't fail
He'll never let you down

You promised yourself
you never would love again
And you tried hiding out,
but your heart just can't stay shut in
But there's a love that is real
that won't turn on you
Just reach out and you'll feel
what He said is true
It's all for you

The storms may weather, but He will never
God's love won't let you down
When you've fallen under
You don't have to wonder
God's love won't let you down
God's love won't fail
He'll never let you down

Let those asleep be awoken
Come to the city of light
He is life, life
He is life
The storms may weather, but He will never
God's love won't let you down
When you've fallen under
You don't have to wonder
God's love won't let you down
God's love won't fail
He'll never let you down

5. Children of the Chosen

Come inside the coast is clear
Watch all your troubles disappear
God is love and all is free
won't you come inside and see
You'll have all you ever want or ever need

We are sunlight, we are golden
We're the children of the chosen
We are sunlight, we are golden
See us dancing in the sun
We're the children of the Chosen Holy One

Aren't you tired of the rules they made
The bondage on your backs they laid
Shake it off you've got liberty
there is more than we can see
God loves you and He wants you to be free

We are sunlight, we are golden
We're the children of the chosen
We are sunlight, we are golden
See us dancing in the sun
We're the children of the Holy One

We are sunlight, we are golden
We're the children of the chosen
We are sunlight, we are golden
See us dancing in the sun
We're the children of the Chosen, Holy One

6. So Many Roads

I came to a place in my life
When I looked out at many roads
There must be a way that'll deliver
I looked for the one that was right
Stood frozen in my soul
Show me the way of the believer
Lord, show me the way of the believer

[I. So Many Roads]

Kind of feel like I'm reaching forward
Like a wave on the ocean tide
But there's so many roads to nowhere
So many places I could try
But I feel there is one that will go there
One for me is really right
And I know that my family loves me
But I gotta go and take this ride

Cause there's so many roads to nowhere
So many places I could try
But I feel there is one that will go there
One for me is really right
I've waited so long in maybe
Maybe it's time for me to fly
And search for the one that will save me
That will lead me in the light

Roads to nowhere taking everything I have
They say, "come on now", you won't ever feel bad
Come and you'll be glad
And I feel like I have a calling
But is it only in my mind?

So many roads before me
So many places I could hide
But still there is one that is calling
Maybe one I haven't tried
I've waited so long in maybe
Maybe it's time for me to fly
And search for the one that will save me
That will lead me in the light

So many roads, so many roads,
so many roads to nowhere
So many roads, so many roads,
so many roads to nowhere
So many roads

[II. Star for a Day]

Come on in son our works all fun
You gotta getcha some California sun
If you're not sure, who you are
No personality?
Well we'll invent you one
We'll make you a star for a day
You'll get so high that you can fly away
In a semi-perpetual way
You'll be living the life
out on the king's highway
Hey, be a star for a day

The stadium cheers for Britney Spears
Let's forget about the wounded tender years
Convertible car, a house on the coast
Just take the gig that will pay for the most
We'll make you a star for a day
You'll get so high that you can fly away
In a semi-perpetual way
You'll be living the life out on the king's highway
Hey, be a star for a day

We'll make you a star for a day
You'll get so high that you can fly away
Why don't you put yourself into the play
I'm telling you son this is the only way
Be a star for a day

So many roads, so many roads to nowhere
So many roads, so many ways to fly
If God would just show
Show me the way I'd follow
Surely I'd go, but there's so many roads
So many roads

[III. The Humdrum Life]

Ho ho the humdrum life, here is your security
Make sure that you survive, a wonderful destiny
Have kids and raise them up,
take a picture of the family
And once in awhile you show up, to let them see
you're happy while you work your life away

Ho ho take it slow, check it all thoroughly
Make sure you don't stand out,
this is not the way to be!
Give up your silly dreams, living life fully
Come down the surest road, you can be happy
While you work your life away
Work your life away

Give up your silly dreams, living life fully
Come down the surest road, fulfilling is a fantasy
Dreams won't pay your bills,
you better come and be like me
This is the best way to be

So many roads, so many roads to nowhere
So many roads, so many roads to nowhere
So many roads, so many roads to nowhere
So many roads, so many roads to nowhere

[IV. All the Way to the Grave]

Get a load of him, he's so insane
Here's some stuff that'll set fire to your brain
Forget it all you can party everyday... Hey hey
Live it up! You can be stoned all the way
All the way to the grave

It's the only thing I really like
I can do what I want with my own life
Forget it all you can party everyday... Hey hey
Live it up! You can be stoned all the way
All the way to the grave

Forget it all you can party everyday... Hey hey
Live it up! You can be stoned all the way
All the way to the grave

So many roads, so many roads,
So many roads, so many roads

[V. The Eyes of the Savior]

Behind door number two there is another life
One that will satisfy more than you'll ever know
Now it may not appear beautiful in your eyes
But there's a place where the spirit flies
That'll lead right up to the throne

Before your time is almost gone
Look in the eyes of the Savior
Turn your darkness into dawn
Look in the eyes of the Savior

If love is the greatest and God's love is greater still
Come whosoever will and let Jesus fill your heart

Cause your time is almost gone
Look in the eyes of the Savior
Turn your darkness into dawn
Look in the eyes of the Savior

Cause your time is almost gone
Look in the eyes of the Savior
Turn your darkness into dawn
Look in the eyes of the Savior
Look in the eyes of the Savior
Look in His eyes

[VI. So Many Roads Reprise]

As I look to the grand horizon
Gazing out at the auburn sky
There's so many roads before me
So many ways that I could try
But I'm seeking the One who will guide me
How else can I know what's right?

If I trust in the one who loves me
He will lead me into paths of light
And there's so many roads before me
Don't let me go down the road of pride
I know if I only trust in Jesus
He will lead me to the other side

I came to a place in my life
When I looked out at many roads
Show me the way of the believer

7. Fly High

Life like a razor can shave you clean
Or it cuts in a moment and leaves you to bleed
And in fear you have settled for what you have found
You're safe, you're comfortable, but you're stuck on the ground

Fly high, fly straight through the open sky
Give up everything you have for what you could never buy
It's time, if you seek you can't help but find
What you give up you'll gain, you will be lifted high

What is holding you, is holding you down
You might have to take off that rock-and-roll crown
But what you think is your identity is not really you
Let it go keep breaking till we break on through

And fly high, fly straight through the open sky
Give up everything you have for what you could never buy
It's time, if you seek you can't help but find
What you give up you'll gain, Jesus will lift you high
Fly high

Fly high, fly straight through the open sky
Give up everything you know for what you could never buy
It's time, if you seek you can't help but find
And what you give up you'll gain, Jesus will lift you high

Fly high, fly straight through the open sky
Give up everything that you have for what you could never buy
It's time, if you seek you can't help but find
Just give it all up and you'll gain, Jesus will lift you high
Fly high
Fly high
