TAKE IT BACK! LYRICS

1. Standing On The Edge Of Hope

Please tell me how we got here.
We've walked away from all we've ever known.
We're broken, bruised, and we're beaten down but we still have nothing left to show.
A thousand miles we've walked alone...
How did we get this far?
Some things have changed or stayed the same.
My days and nights all run together, the question still remains.
Did bitterness take you away?
But in the end its all the same.
The same white lines divide this road
But in the end where did forever go?
You will never know what you did for me
We stuck together and made it out alive.
You will never know...
Will it ever get easy while we're playing these games?
Will we pick up the pieces? Will things ever be the same?
Is there hope that tomorrow we won't get left behind
We won't slip through the cracks and be left here to die.
There's so much more to life than these four walls!

2. Times Have Changed

It begins with this!
Our story is set on a broken stage
Where records are broken and legends,
Legends they are made.
Remember the days when we all got along?
And please let this be something more,
More than just a song.
This time we'll realize and find,
This time we might, we might, we might
Start something good forever.
He'll bring His thunder and He'll bring His rage,
He'll be right behind us with every
Every step we take.
But if we are willing then no one can say,
That our deaths to ourselves
They were not in vain.
This time we'll realize and find,
This time we might, we might, we might
Start something good forever.
Enough is enough! And I've had enough of it!
Enough is enough! And I've had enough of it!
We battle more than flesh and blood.
Times have changed!

3. Together, Burning Bright!

I never thought that it would be this way
And I won't forget the song we sang that day.
I remember how it felt when the trumpet sang,
But now that feeling has all but gone away.
It's not too late to fix what has been set wrong,
Inviting you to come back where you belong.
But this song was written on your heart,
Before you let its melody depart.
We used to be so strong,
But if only you could remember
Than we could endure together.
We could look fear in the face and say
We never want to be this way again.
It's hard to believe that it turned out like this.
We're spitting angry words and clenching our fists.
It's time to show the world that we're more than just kids,
'cause this is not the way that we were meant to live.
It's not too late to fix what has been set wrong,
Inviting you to come back where you belong.
But this song was written on your heart,
Before you let its melody depart.
We used to be so strong,
But if only you could remember
Than we could endure together.
We could look fear in the face and say
We never want to be this way again.
And on that cold December we stood and fought together,
With fire in our hearts. That day set you apart.
And when the war was over, we all came home as soldiers,
Beaten but not broken, ready to live again.
Never again!

4. These Days

5. Lights In This Town

And all the lights in this town
No they would not amount
To all the hearts and hopes we'll never ever know.
I pray to God you find out
What this life is all about
And know that things are never, ever what they seem.
They're never what they seem.
Let's go!
I never told you that this would be enough,
When I said we should unite under one name.
Our goals the same,
We set a flame,
The lies that we've been told.
Now the voices of change
Have had their say
But now my words are bold.
Always looking ahead.
Never stopping, instead I'll try
To install these words (these words)
Of hope inside your heart,
Forever zealous, never hopeless.
I've got to finish what I start.
I give you all of me!
Did I make a change in life or in death?
Or has anyone listened to what I said?
If I affected someone's heart in some way,
My life right now my Lord can take.
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
Together we'll take it over.
We've got to stand together!
One voice, one name forever!
We've stood still long enough.
One voice, one name!
We know it's not enough so we just gotta take it,
We're all going down so we just gotta give it away.
We just gotta give it away!
And all the lights in this town
No they would not amount
To all the hearts and hopes we'll never ever know.
I pray to God you find out
What this life is all about
And know that things are never, ever what they seem.
They're never what they seem.

6. A New Day

All these days should count for something.
They're time we borrowed, it's time well spent.
We'll cut our ties and pray for morning.
I should have said the things I meant.
We'll put this plan in motion,
A new start to make this better.
We'll push the past aside.
We're moving forward together.
Now I don't need you anymore,
Your time has come now it's gone.
Now I don't need you anymore,
'cause I've been running so long
From all my problems,
And all my painful memories.
Now I don't need you,
Now I don't need you anymore.
The days we lost are dead and buried.
Tomorrow brings a better day.
Bringing to light the hope we carry
We'll learn to live with our mistakes.
We'll put this plan in motion.
A new start to make this better.
We'll push the past aside.
We're moving forward together.
Now I don't need you anymore,
Your time has come now it's gone.
Now I don't need you anymore,
'cause I've been running so long
From all my problems,
And all my painful memories.
Now I don't need you,
Now I don't need you anymore.
Every morning the sun comes up, it marks the start of a new day,
A new day to learn from the past, a new day to make a change for a better tomorrow.
We'll never get back the days we've already lost, but one thing's for sure...
We'll be more than ready for whatever comes next.
The heaviness of the burdens we once carried has been lifted
And replaced by the promise of a new hope...
And that new hope lies in something not of this world.

7. The Truth

8. Knees To The Earth

Oh my God, forgive me when I failed you, I was wrong,
To think that I could do this on my own.
Everyone has left me and everything came crashing down,
Everything comes crashing down.
I run my mouth, saying things I know I do not mean
(saying things I know I do not mean)
What do I know of suffering.
I cried out.
There will not be rest for the weary.
I lift my hands, I lift my eyes.
[?] to the God who saves me. My hearts been compromised.
Will the be rest for the weary?
I lift my hands, I lift my eyes.
[?] to the God who saves me. My hearts been compromised.
I will not turn away. Not this time.
I will not turn away. Not this time.
Take my heart and make it right.
I swear things could be different, please don't leave me behind.
These thoughts run through my mind, please don't leave me behind.
I hope tomorrow will be better, I breathe life in, I'll be alright.
Reach down and put your arms around me, keeping my goals in sight.
I'm on my knees raising my hands, oh God forgive me of my sin.
I'm on my knees raising my hands, oh God forgive me of my sin.
The war is over, but the battle rages on.
The war is over, but the battle rages on.
It rages on!
It rages on!
It rages on!

9. Time Waits For No Man

10. A Struggle To Stay Standing

11. Act Your Age, Not Your Shoe Size

12. All That Keeps Us Strong

You may never understand what this means to me.
All the endless nights of wasted time we will never get back.
Conversation is wearing thin.
I want to feel that feeling we felt when it all began.
Those endless nights they were wasted time,
We were so alive, we felt so alive.
We're alive! We're alive!
We need more of you. In our lives.

Fill us with passion and burning desire, hearts that are holy whoa.
Fill us with passion...
Are you tired of running, running away, are you tired of running away
Are you tired of running, running away, are you tired of running away
Are you tired of running, running away, are you tired of running away
Are you tired of running, running away, are you tired of running away

Brothers and sisters, we've got to stand together,
This hope is all that keeps us strong.
Brothers and sisters, we've got to stand together,
This hope is all that keeps us strong.
This hope is all that keeps us strong.

Are you tired of running, I'm so tired of running,
We're tired of running, are you tired of running away.
Fill us with passion and burning desire, hearts that are holy whoa....
