I’ve got this vision in my head; I can’t seem to put down on paper If there was only some way I could make it clearer If there was some way you could see Just how much all this means to me Then I will finally be the man I want to be Sometimes I wish I was stronger than this Overcoming obstacles I’ve created Sometimes I wish I was stronger than this Pushing through these strongholds, I’ll make my stand I don’t need your approval to be happy with who I am And I will fight for my chances To be one of the few who brings a message I will never let you bring me down I won’t tear this all apart Pushing through these strongholds, I’ll make my stand I don’t need your approval to be happy with who I am And I will fight for my chances To be one of the few who brings a message I will never let you bring me down I know now that I am stronger than you

Once again this is taking its toll The longer I wait reality turns fake And this is not where I belong I never thought I could be this strong I look back and wonder where have these last years gone? I’m captivated, on how I stayed motivated through all this time But it’s because of you, the hurting, the lost, the broken But it’s because of you, everyone that’s lost and broken To people out there trying to find their way in life just like me If just one word from one line Could bring you back to life Or take away your strife Or show you love bother greater than you, and I If just one word from one line Could bring you back to life To show you a love both greater than you, and I Oh Lord please give me the words to say Oh Lord please give me the words to say Make me a vessel of hope to bring glory to Your name If just one word from one line Could bring you back to life Or take away your strife Or show you a love bother greater than you, and I For he is here to bring life And life more abundantly For he is here to bring life And so are we

Homeward 03:21
This destination my motivation to find my way As I come close, what I fear most Is misery waiting at my door step But I’ve done all I can, and if there's one thing I know There's always someone who loves you that’s not far from home But where there’s love there’s also hate How can there be joy where sadness rains? I'll push harder, I'll move farther until I’m far enough away But in the end I'll know I’m wrong, and every second I am gone I’ll know where I belong I'll know where I belong But I’m searching for that place; An existence of complacency These thoughts cloud my mind; Darkness overcasts my light I’ll break this hold you have on me is what we all say It's what we all say We try so hard to escape But instead what if we embrace this place That’s made us who we are And some are afraid to call it home But I have made this place my own It’s not where we are But who we are, and how we got there is “home” But when I watch the sunrise over that mountain top I remember who I am, and what that place has made me I must find my way back Thoughts of negativity, and insecurity depart from me Depart from me We try so hard to escape But instead what if we embrace this place That’s made us who we are And some are afraid to call it home But I have made this place my own It’s not where we are But who we are and how we got there is “home” And I know misery is not far from home But I regret every second I am gone

Growing older I've been growing colder To everyone that should make me be growing bolder I am almost ashamed, not for the message for the name I am almost ashamed, not for the message, but for the name What was once held so highly to me With such respect and honor What was once held so highly to me Used with such selfish intent God is not a catalyst, a title, or just a thank you He is a means of life, love, and true happiness I can’t stand the sight Of seeing what I want to be Destroyed right in front of me And I’m not saying I’m perfect But I have not lost sight of my reasons for doing this With every song I sing and every word I say I will make sure I don’t end up like you Watching your heroes die again and again can take its toll But once again I will prove myself to be stronger then you We all have our faults But I will prove myself to be stronger then you
