1. Rattle your cage

Every Sunday morning as l sit in the morg
Watching the sea of heads nod back and forth
They cry how bad things have gotten in the past few years
Then they walk out the door back to their chores
Dead from ear to ear

(Pre-chorus)
You just can't go on and think that it’s all right
Just sit back and let someone else fight
What will it take to bring you back to life?
To get you up and fight

(Chorus)
I'm gonna rattle your cage - don’t you see what’s happening here
I'm gonna rattle your cage - your eyes are open but you just don’t care
I'm gonna rattle your cage - you say "oh l want this world to change"
I'm gonna rattle your cage - nothing’s gonna change if you just complain

Politician one or politician two?
They're gonna make it happen all for you
Making laws you don’t believe in
So you turn the tube off ' cause you had enough
Back in your world again

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)




2. Here I am

I've been a fool Lord, can you forgive me for what l have done
I've been living my life by my own rules, l walked away from Your holy Son
Oh God now l finally realize that there is only one thing l can do
I repent from my sin, set me free once again, Lord myself l present unto you

(Chorus)
Here l am, take all of me,
Send Your almighty power to come over me
Here l am. Take all of me,
You have given me everything I’ll ever need
Forgive me

You hold the answers Lord, the key to this human race
To know that I’m safe and secure in You’re arms here on earth
There is no better place
Oh God give me faith to live by your Word glorify You in all that l do
It is this that l pray, in Your arms I will stay
My God l cry out to you

(Chorus)
(Bridge, solo)
(Chorus)




3. Unsuspecting

I've been a fool Lord, can you forgive me for what l have done
I've been living my life by my own rules, l walked away from Your holy Son
Oh God now l finally realize that there is only one thing l can do
I repent from my sin, set me free once again, Lord myself l present unto you

(Chorus)
Here l am, take all of me,
Send Your almighty power to come over me
Here l am. Take all of me,
You have given me everything I’ll ever need
Forgive me

You hold the answers Lord, the key to this human race
To know that I’m safe and secure in You’re arms here on earth
There is no better place
Oh God give me faith to live by your Word glorify You in all that l do
It is this that l pray, in Your arms I will stay
My God l cry out to you

4. No time to run

It was 11:30 when he decided to go home - shouldn't have been alone
Didn't see the other driver, his vision blurred from liquor
(No time to run) 90 miles an hour to the floor
It sounded like thunder and then it blew into the fire
And the other will never see the light again

(Chorus)
No time to run - cannot change what has been done
No time to run - run away from what might not have been?
No time to run - hey there man what have you done, cannot run

It was the morning after, a mother mourning for her son
She thought about her gun
In a fit of rage, no one stops her now
In the car she shouts "I’m gonna kill him"
(No time to run) 90 miles an hour to the floor
She storms in; she finds him, points the barrel at him
She cries out loud "you killed my son"

(Chorus)




5. Sick

Let me out I’m getting sick of it all
Living loaded with my back on the wall
Alter my state; make me irate
I'm black 'n' blue, hell with you
Life for me is so nice and wonderful
Since I’ve been a killer that no one knows
I seem all right but deep in fear
Wish someone could get me out of here

(Chorus)
I'm a sick individual, sick like no one knows
I'm a sick individual, my time to kill, and your time to go

Look who's here now they have figured me out?
Loaded shotguns surrounding my house
Hey man get down on the floor now
Can't escape, murder rape
Life for me was so nice you understand
No one got to see who l really am
Not until l wake up in a cell
Change is coming fast like a train to hell
I'm a sick individual, sick like you all
Know I’m a sick individual
I love you momma, gotta go

(lead)

Life for me is so nice and locked up well
Gideon's Bible's all l got in my cell
Reading is much better than suicide
But hell, l ain't ready, to meet God when l die

I'm a sick individual. Sick but not for long
I'm a sick individual until the doctor came along

Realize that there's a God in the sky
Realize it from the tears in my eyes
No more blindness, no more sickness
Forgive me. Enter me. Save me




6. Somewhere far away

Let me out I’m getting sick of it all
Living loaded with my back on the wall
Alter my state; make me irate
I'm black 'n' blue, hell with you
Life for me is so nice and wonderful
Since I’ve been a killer that no one knows
I seem all right but deep in fear
Wish someone could get me out of here

(Chorus)
I'm a sick individual, sick like no one knows
I'm a sick individual, my time to kill, and your time to go

Look who's here now they have figured me out?
Loaded shotguns surrounding my house
Hey man get down on the floor now
Can't escape, murder rape
Life for me was so nice you understand
No one got to see who l really am
Not until l wake up in a cell
Change is coming fast like a train to hell
I'm a sick individual, sick like you all
Know I’m a sick individual
I love you momma, gotta go

(lead)

Life for me is so nice and locked up well
Gideon's Bible's all l got in my cell
Reading is much better than suicide
But hell, l ain't ready, to meet God when l die

I'm a sick individual. Sick but not for long
I'm a sick individual until the doctor came along

Realize that there's a God in the sky
Realize it from the tears in my eyes
No more blindness, no more sickness
Forgive me. Enter me. Save me




7. Feed the fire

They came from everywhere growling just like bears
Waiting for the go, the 're ready for rock n roll
Like a hungry breed, feeding time 's a need
Tonight they will be fed heaven for every head

The crowd is loud enough feed to blow
Feed the bears but don't give them rock and roll

The building starts to shake walls begin to break
The stage is gonna blow from the Spirit of God you know
The bears are getting restless and the time has all but come
Suddenly there’s a flash the fires have begun

Growl and howl yell an roar
Feed the bears and give 'em God's rock and roll

Loose the shackles from my feet and shoulders
And we'll feed the fire in the name of God
Feed the bears a little fire from heaven
And they'll know what power is in the name of God

Hunger makes the wild roar
Better keep em fed - rock n roll - with a little fire

Loose the shackles from my feet and head
And we'll feed the fire in the name of God
Feed the bears a little fire from heaven
And they'll know what power is - in the name of God




8. Let it go let it die

I lay here in the blackened night bitterness in my heart
Feeling it grow stronger as l slowly die away
But Jesus told me let it go and let it die
I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life

I remember the day so clearly l was hurt and at my low
Some wrong words said, and man l was dead
With pain I’d never know
But Jesus told me let it go and let it die
I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life
And then He told me let it go and let it die...
You got to forgive or you'll die inside

I justified my angry life each and every day
But as time went on, His Spirit was gone
Alone and bitter and my God so far away

But Jesus told me let it go and let it die
I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life
And then he told me let go let it die

You got to forgive, you got to forgive
You got to forgive or you'll die inside
You got to forgive, you got to forgive
You got to forgive or you'll die inside
Let it go
Let it die




9. Time for love

Round and round l want to get it down
And then we'll rock this town when my
Love comes down
Give me what l really want give me what I’m looking for
And give me something that won't be gone
When l walk outside that door,
Give me something right now
Give me what I’m dreamin' of
Lord it's time for love
Time for love
Time for love
Time for love

Round and round it really gets around
There's power to be found, can you hear it? Its name is love
Got to get it into my soul, need a double shot of love
And need the kind that'll still be there when the feeling's down below
Time is here and right now, time for what I’m dreamin of
Lord its time for love
Time for love
Time for love
Time for love
More than a feeling it's really love
And it's more than I’ve felt before
And it's easy to see on the day that l met my Lord
Ain't nothin' better
Than the kind I’m of dreamin' of, ya




10. J.R.M

At the bus stop raining cats and dogs
A little woman, no umbrella, out in the cold … rain
I was there, too, umbrella of my own
I offered protection but she looked at me as if to say
I see where this is going

She said
Sorry I don't talk to strangers daddy wouldn't like you either

I Think you misunderstood me I’m only trying to help
You really look like you need me
She said don't flatter yourself but
So I stood there looking abused like a fool, but I knew
I don't believe on the sole of her shoes, oh no
…Said I’m a nice guy, little bit funny, responsible, ethical,
And she just looked at me laughing
She said I think you're a lying little boy, she said

Sorry I don't talk to strangers, daddy wouldn't like you either

I didn't say you're my baby, I’m only being nice
Because you look like you need me
She said don't give me your lines

At the bus stop raining cats and dogs
A little woman, driving me out of my mind
One, she's not so funny,
Two, she's very of loony,
Three, she's mean and
Four, she's completely insane
Ya, she's really drivin' me out of my mind - so l said

Sorry l don't talk to strangers, daddy wouldn't like you either

And so l let her get rained on, hair was soakin' wet
She really should have believed me better
Some girls get so upset




11. Your will

Lord l feel so confused can't decide what to do
So l stand here before you
Please take my hand and show me which way to go l can't see
I need your wisdom to guide me

I am only a man who seeks to understand
What Your will is for me Lord I’m ready show me
All l want is to hear from You, please talk to me

Lord l will stand here and wait no matter how long it takes
For You alone hold the answer
Please search my heart and show me if there is anything You see
That might keep me from Your glory

I am only a man who seeks to understand what Your will is for me
Lord I’m ready, show me
All l want is to hear from You please talk tome




12. Midnight son

I wasn't feelin' to well- a little hotter than hell
And it was right about the midnight hour
Saw a fisherman - he put his catch in my hand
My soul was shaken just like lightning and thunder
I saw a look in his eyes. It burned a hole in my mind
The Son was rising, it was midnight baby
I felt a surge in me, down to my knees, shakin' me

(Pre-chorus)
All night, my heart was really crying I’ve been on my own
Midnight, broken love had found me, now I’m goin home

(Chorus)
Midnight Son - you're the light that surrounds me alone in the dark
Midnight Son
Midnight Son - you're the comfort that warms in the midnight hour
Midnight Son
Midnight Son

Check my pulse and You'll see - just what has happened to me
My blood is running like a mile-high river
You brought me to my knees - You dropped me heaven's keys
When it's open wide I’m gonna take a ride to Ya
The things l thought were just fine have escaped my mind
The point of no return has just been burned

(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
