1. Wings of a Dream
As time goes by, I look around
To see which way I`m going
And if it`s really worth
The pain that I feel
Hard times may get me down
Trying to destroy my dreams
What can I say
I`m just a man !
I`ve come too far to turn around
Can`t let the hard times get me down
I`ll lift my head up off the ground
And ride on the wings of a dream
Ride them for a crown
I`m gonna receive
Yes, ride the wings of a dream
On and on, won`t look back
Let the fire keep leading the way
When daily life is more than I
Believe that I can handle
I have a good that sees through
If I give my weaknesses to him
He gives his strenght to me
Faithfulness he`ll always prove
I`m pressin on in spite of things
That seem to overwhelming me
He makes them all just disappear
Long days and longer nights
Trying hard to make it right
Soothing words are all I hear
I never want to turn around
Don`t let the hard times get me down
He lifts my head up off the ground
And ride on the wings of a dream
Ride them for a crown
I`m gonna receive
Yes, ride the wings of a dream
On and on, won`t look back
Let the fire keep leading the way
2. Sweet Memories
I remember all the things you used to say
The times we shared together, the many tears we`ve shed
But now it seems as though i talk to barren walls
I know someday I`ll see you again but `till then
Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories
You always took the time to spend with me
That`s how you taught me right from wrong
I remember all you`ve done for me, you done for me
When I needed you yeah you were there
When it seems the scars of time would never heal
I know you were by my side, your love was real
Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories
Twelve years later seems like yesterday
When you were holding me in your arms
The memories of you will never leave, will never leave
They`re calling out of me
When it seems the scars of time would never heal
I know you were by my side, your love was real
Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories
3. Turning Back
Like a trip on a dead end street, my life`s coming to an end
Your love has no meaning now `cause I`ve gone astray
Lost alone in time, I now see what I have done
What I`ve attained and what I`ve left behind
There was a time when I used to smile to your name
Your face couldn`t wait to see
And every time I`d hear your voice I`d rejoice
But now I realize I`ve gone so far away
I know I need to go
Back to the start
And get that fire burning again
I know I've gotta turn back on my own
And take what you have given to me
4. Obsessions
As the dollar exchanges the hand of many
There lie the poor who dream of having enough for today
The rich control the government while the gangs control the streets
It`s hand against the sword till the strong take out the weak
It`s all a competition to see who will get the bigger bite
Men driven by obsessions , the more they get the more they want
To have it all, they gotta see they`re plagues upon the wall
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
You gave up all your rights as you turnde to the needle
And now you`ve gone so fat, there is no turning back
Do what it takes, you`ve gotta have it all
There`s something in your blood that pulls the number
Makes a call, it doesn`t really matter if you lose it all
Just as long as you feed this desire inside of you
Can`t you see you`re destroying your life ?
Turn away it`s not what it`s made out to be, oh don`t you see?
There`s a dead end there for you
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
5. Kamakazi
I`m on the outside looking at the inside
The pain of this world fills my head
A rich man passes and shrugs at the poor man
And says he made his own bed
Don`t believe him, he`ll use the power to push you around
Don`t receive him, his lies betray him and show where`s he`s bound
Kamikazi you think that you know but you`re lost
You're lost in a world of your dreams
Kamikaze your life`s not your own it`s been bought
I see a girl she`s thirteen believing that love is found in the bed
But when a life starts that seems inconvenient
You say it`s better off dead
Don't believe them the love you seek isn`t faithful or true
Don't release them, the kamikaze`s won`t quit till they`re through
Kamikazi you think that you know but you`re lost
You're lost in a world of your dreams
Kamikaze your life`s not your own it`s been bought
So many people get into religion because they want to get freed
But there are those who are out to forsaken you
And bent on making you bleed
Don't believe them they`ll tell you one thing
Then turn it around, don`t receive them
They`re father satan is pulling them down
Kamikazi you think that you know but you`re lost
You're lost in a world of your dreams
Kamikaze your life`s not your own it`s been bought
6. Remember Me
Now while the others laugh and spit
I think about just where I sit
And where I`ll be tomorrow
Living only to explore my every chance for pleasure
But now I realize I need your grace
I turned my head to see your face
You don`t deserve this cheap disgrace
When you leave here let me follow
Please remember me
Please remember me
You're a man who`s done no wrong
Yet everyone despires you
Yes crucify the king of the jews
For my crimes I`ll do my time
I dared to cross forbidden lines
When you leave here let me follow
Please remember me
Please remember me
I tell you the truth
Today you`ll be with me in paradise
Though I`ve been condemned to death
My sins are still forgiven
You give the promise of eternal life
I turned my head to see your face
You don`t deserve this cheap disgrace
When you leave here let me follow
Please remember me
Please remember me
7. Fire from Heaven
Gay rights and porno movies are rampant everywhere
The end result foretold is the disease they share
If Sodom and Gomorrah came to a fiery end
What makes you think that this place will stay in god`s right hand ?
Fire, fire falling from heaven, burning up everything
Sea to sea, nothing can stand in the way of the judgement
When it begins with godly desire
Fire, fire, righteous and holy, Wiping out all the intended disease
Will you be part of this massive destruction
Or will you be saved from this terrible siege ?
You take the little babies from their mama`s womb
A jar upon the shelf becomes a cold, darkened tomb
How long do you think god`s patience will last
Watching?
It`s just a matter of time till his wrath will be released
Fire, fire falling from heaven, burning up everything
Sea to sea, nothing can stand in the way of the judgement
When it begins with godly desire
Fire, fire, righteous and holy, Wiping out all the intended disease
Will you be part of this massive destruction
Or will you be saved from this terrible siege ?
For sins no different than these god made some cities fall
His warnings went unheeded they wouldn`t heed the call
How long do you think god`s patience will last
Watching?
It`s just a matter of time till his wrath will be released
Fire, fire falling from heaven, burning up everything
Sea to sea, nothing can stand in the way of the judgement
When it begins with godly desire
Fire, fire, righteous and holy, Wiping out all the intended disease
Will you be part of this massive destruction
Or will you be saved from this terrible siege ?
8. Temples on Fire
I used to live like there`s no tomorrow
I used to think life was only a game
Born to find that you`ll be gone tomorrow
To be desolate liying in a grave
I couldn`t count on the way I way feeling
My heart condemned me all the time
Then your love set me free from these feelings
And now, now I can cry
This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire
War waged upon my soul
Since I found, I found the answer
But the victory lies in the hand of my savior
Who`s leading me every step on the way
I can`t count on the way that I`m feeling
My heart condemns me all the time
I know your love sets me free
From these feelings so now I can cry
This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire
There is no power that can pvertake the blood, he shed on calvary
A sinless lamb who was led to the slaughter
Freely gave his life for me, out of love he took my place
And now, now I can cry
This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire
9. Mad Man
In the world where we live from day to day
Lives a man who sees only one way
Stalking the night for a weak, yeah, that`s his prey
On the loose he`s dressed to kill, another victim, that`s his thrill
His eyes glow of violence and abomination
He`s watching you every more always ahead of the game
He knows where he can always find you
You`re just a number to this dangerous man
You can lie there bleeding while he`s laughing
Mad man, can it be he`s after you
Or is he more than a mad man comes for you
In a rage he`s on the loose
Step by step he crawls inside you and turns your insides out
As you allow him, he will overtake you
You have two ways to choose, but you`ve broken all the rules
And now you need someone to save you
You can put an end to his disastrous ways
Call up the lord and he will free you
Mad man, can it be he`s after you
Or is he more than a mad man comes for you
In a rage he`s on the loose
Deep inside you can find the answer and he can wipe your tears away
Your tears away
Receive him now don`t reject him, Oh, he`s god, oh don`t you dare ?
From there isn`t a holiday
You might not ever understand his frustration
Of watching you throwing your life away
Now you know you can be free, truly free
`Cause he is calling out to your name
Why don`t you see that he is the healer
Mad man, can it be he`s after you
Or is he more than a mad man comes for you
In a rage he`s on the loose
