I am the comfortable secure
The definition of this western world
And I have perfected deceit
Even I believe I am above saving

I'll never let you see

Chorus:
I am the broken
I am the bruised
I am the poor ones
I have been used

It takes me falling to the ground
To admit to fully needing you
Then when I'm breathing my last breath
Come and save me, I will cry to you

'Cause pride has not let me say

Chorus:
I am the broken
I am the bruised
I am the poor ones
I have been used

Why does it take so much to bring me to my knees
Why does it take so much pain for me to see
If strength is only found when I am on my knees
Why is it so hard to show that I am weak

Chorus:
I am the broken
I am the bruised
I am the poor ones
I have been used

. . .



How long will my prayers seem unanswered
Is there still faith in me to reach the end
I'm felling doubt, I'm losing faith
But giving up would cost me everything

So I'll stand in the pain and the silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

Chorus:
I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't fell it
And I believe in God even when he's silent
And I believe

Though I can't see my stories ending
That doesn't mean the dark night has no end
It's only here that in find faith
And learn to trust the one who writes my days

So I'll stand in the pain and the silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

Chorus:
I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't fell it
And I believe in God even when he's silent
And I yeah

No dark can consume light
No death is greater than this life
We are not forgotten
Hope is found when we say

Even when he's silent

Chorus:
I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't fell it
And I believe in God even when he's silent
And I, I believe

I Believe...
I Believe...
I Believe...

Once again I said my goodbyes
To those I love most
My heart feels that familiar pain
As I long for home

'Cause this road is hard
When I feel so far

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more here's my life

On the day that you've called my name
All that I knew changed
I found when I said yes that I'd never be the same

Though the call is hard
You are worth it all

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more

Even when the tears are falling
When I find I fear the calling
You remind me
Words you've spoken over my life
Promises I've yet to see
You comfort me

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more here's my life

. . .



Oh the things I've sacrificed
So that I could bring you to this world
I want them to see you in me
But your name just keeps them far from me

So I'll keep quiet
Let's hope they see I'm different

Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus why's your name offensive
Why are we so scared to tell the world that you've save us
When all of the hope of the worlds is in your name
Why are we so scared to say
Oh Jesus, yeah Jesus

If I avoid to speak your name
Tell me would you do the same to me
If relevance becomes my goal
Tell me will I lose you to its hold

But if I keep quiet
They'll never see I'm different

Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus why's your name offensive
Why are we so scared to tell the world that you've save us
When all of the hope of the worlds is in your name
Why are we so scared to say
Oh Jesus, whoa Jesus, yeah

I'm sorry that I've cared about my name more than yours
I'm so sorry how could I hide you anymore

But if I keep quiet
They'll never see I'm different

Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus how why is your name so offensive
Why are we so scared to tell this world that you'd saved us
When all of the hope of the world's is in your name
Why are we so scared to say
Oh Jesus
Whoa Jesus x3
Ohhhh…..

. . .



Tell me who'd have thought that we would be so controversial
And stand up against the normal
Are we too outspoken, loud, and messing up the comfortable
Well we've been messed up also
Yeah, yeah

But how can we be silent
When a fire burns inside of us

Chorus :
'Cause we're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we here
With a million voices breaking silence till
They'll remember we were here

We were made to start the riot, take on the impossible
And we will slay the giants
We are done with fake religion fighting now to find the movement
Won't stop till we find it

How can we be silent
When a fire burns inside of us

Chorus :
'Cause we're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we here
With a million voices breaking silence till
They'll remember we were here

We're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we were here
With a million voices breaking silence till
They'll remember we were here

They'll remember we were here

You will remember
Yes you'll remember

You will remember
Yes you'll remember

. . .



Did you see that I was hurt
Did you know that you had left me crying there
Now I'm holding all your words close till you feel this pain too
But you live on so unaware
While I thought somehow this the would heal me
But this hate is never ending and it's only killing me

Oh sweet revenge you lied again

Chorus:
I find I can't get free till I release this vengeance that I seek
Forgive you, the only thing, I want to live I'm ready to be free

Maybe you've been wounded too
Maybe all this is your self protection
All the hurts you thought were hidden
Are the ones now hurting me
So who will make this patter end

Chorus:
I find I can't get free till I release this vengeance that I seek
Forgive you, the only thing, I want to live I'm ready to

Break theses chains
Won't see this through
Cause setting you free
Means my freedom too
(Freedom too..)

Chorus:
I find I can't get free till I release this vengeance that I seek
Forgive you, the only thing, I want to live I'm ready to be free
To be free

. . .



Here We Go
Round one wasn't what thought it'd be
Round two I'm struggling to breathe
3, 4,5,6,7 times I wondered why I stepped inside this ring

I may be knocked down and so bruised
But I'm here to tell you
That I may be knocked down but not for the count
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus:
So take me one more round
I'll just keep fighting
One more round
You're messing me up but I'm still here
One more round
I'll come out swinging
One more round
I'm telling you know I'm not gonna lose it here

It's so hard to get up off the floor again
But I know that victory is when
I'm pushing through the pain that tries to feed me lies that I won't reach theend

I may be knocked down and so bruised
But I'm here to tell you
That I may be knocked down but not for the count
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus:
So take me one more round
I'll just keep fighting
One more round
You're messing me up but I'm still here
One more round
I'll come out swinging
One more round
I'm telling you know I'm not gonna lose it

I am not defeated
Though you cannot see it
I have never won a battle on my own
I find strength in weakness
I find hope in believing
God is for me, who can bring me down?

Chorus:
So take me one more round
I'll just keep fighting
One more round
You're messing me up oh but I'm still here
One more round
I'll come out swinging
One more round
I'm telling you know I'm not gonna lose it here

. . .



I've bowed out from this and can say I'm sick
Now it's time for me to stand up and make you hear me
This world you rob innocence you never gave us a chance
We were born believing you had all the answers for me

Look out you will find out
That here I am so far from them so

I take my chances
I don't live for you
And I'll say what I have to
Who Cares (who cares) Who Cares (who cares) Who Cares
Fears are what I lose

If we don't speak who will
If we don't fight we're still
Stuck without a voice and we are tired of being silenced

Look out you will find out
That here I am so far from them so

I take my chances
I don't live for you
And I'll say what I have to
Who Cares (who cares) Who Cares (who cares) Who Cares
Fears are what I lose

We are set apart
We've been chosen now
We are children of God
So what's holds us back
What's holding us back

I take my chances
I don't live for you
And I'll say what I have to
Who Cares (who cares) Who Cares (who cares) Who Cares
What I lose

. . .



Where would we be today if no man ever had to strength to believe
If no man had a vision further than eyes could see
They are the ones who paved the way
To show you how you have been made for more

Chorus:
This is your day don't let them take it away yeah, yeah
This is your day don't let them take it take it
This is your day don't let them get in the way
This is your day so come on take it take you day

This world distracts you lies to you and hopes to keep you from your call
But don't be fooled 'cause don't you see that you can stand up to it all
You're unashamed you're unafraid to
Give up you life to serve the one who's called you

Chorus:
This is your day don't let them take it away yeah, yeah
This is your day don't let them take it take it
This is your day don't let them get in the way
This is your day so come on take it take you day

Chorus:
This is your day don't let them take it away yeah, yeah
This is your day don't let them take it take it
This is your day don't let them get in the way
This is your day so come on take it take you day

. . .



They're telling me they're concerned for the way I an living
That I'll miss it all why would I think god is that trusting
I can't explain all the words He has spoken to my heart
Why I'd want him more

And I don't regret choosing you
And I'm not ashamed
That it's you who holds my heart

Why do we think if we trust God too much he will fail us
Nothing has come when I choose that in me I'd trust
Separate me you have called out to follow you blindly
I won't fear you're leading me

And I don't regret choosing you
And I'm not ashamed
That it's you who holds my heart

You have shown my ever wondering heart what love is
What on earth is more important than to have all of you

And I don't regret choosing you
And I'm not ashamed
That it's you who holds my heart
