Hosanna! (Lord, save me!)

Hosanna!

Why do we laugh when we really want to cry?
Why do we say it's the truth when we know it's a lie?
Why do we pretend that everything's okay?
We're too afraid, so we play these silly games.

We accept the things
that we cannot change.
We accept the things,
so they never change.

Why do we turn our head when we see dispair?
Why do we hear their cries and still not care?
Why do we we feel that love can be confined?
Why doesn't everybody deserve the same rights?

We accept the things
that we cannot change.
We accept these things with blinded eyes.
We accept the things,
so they never change,
'cuz we don't want to see.

But when the suppressed,
when all the broken,
mend themselves
and take a stand

Where will you be?
Will you be broken
or will you see?
Will you finally see?

Or will you still not believe?

Why do we accept the things we cannot change?
We accept with blinded eyes.
Why do we accept that love can be restrained,
We accept all the lies....

I believe in love, I believe in love.
I believe in love, I believe in love, oh yeah,
I believe in love, I believe in love. (Fix your eyes on the unseen!)
I believe in love, I believe in love, (Oh, Lord, please do not forsake me!)

I was blind, but now I see.

I'm not bitter
But there's a chance that I could be
a little bit broken
from everything you did to me.

I'm not sorry
I'm not trying to hide from the blame
I'm just trying to
understand the way you think.

Oh, oh, oh dear,
how did we, how did we
manage to get here?

I don't know where
I'm going with this
I guess I might
be a little bit
off track once again
but not even I can pretend
that I know what I'm doing
so maybe this is just proving it,
But rambling and reminiscences
are all I've got, reminding me
of how it used to be.

I may be crazy but
I can't candy coat this no more,
You have lost all track
of what you're fighting for.

I might stupid
I might be an idiot
but I have a feeling
this is worth it.

Oh, oh, oh dear,
how did we, how did we
manage to get here?

I don't know where
I'm going with this
I guess I might
be a little bit
off track once again
but not even I can pretend
that I know what I'm doing
so maybe this is just proving it,
But rambling and reminiscences
are all I've got, reminding me
of how it used to be.

I'm not bitter,
but there's a chance that I could be.

Once upon a time there was a girl
who lived in a fairly perfect world.
Fairytales came true for good little girls like her.

Then he came and broke her heart.
He tore her everything apart
before she could even get a start.

She says no, she says she's fine,
she's not fine, she's such a liar,
she's so wild now, a deadly fire.

Her soul is crying, inside it's dying
and there's nothing anyone can do.
No one can help her pull through.
And the sad thing is,
she used to be
so free spirited,
everybody loved her.
But now she is losing her sight,
yeah, she is blind now
and I just can't believe how
much that little girl has changed, oh,

She wore the perfect, golden halo
but now she's fading away and
the saddest thing I've ever seen
is when a songbird clips her own wings.

Her voice used to bring us to our knees,
with every note, our hearts were pleased but
now only empty walls hear her sing.

Back then, she'd made a lifelong pact
and though she truly wants it back
she feels that it's too far gone for that.

She says no, she says she's fine,
She is fine? No, she's such a liar,
she's so wild now, a deadly fire.

Her soul is crying, inside it's dying
and there's no one anyone can do,
no one can help her pull through.
And the sad thing is,
she used to be
so free spirited,
everybody loved her.
But now she is losing her sight,
yeah, she is blind now
and I just can't believe how
much that little girl has changed, oh,

She wore the perfect, golden halo
but now she's fading away and
the saddest thing I've ever seen
is when a songbird clips her own wings.

That girl, the one I used to know,
how could she let herself go?
Where did we go wrong?
This can't be happening to
the songbird that once freely flew,
how did she fall from her pedestal?

I know that I might be
a little bit naive
but even I'm not that bitter anymore....
I just can't understand
how you slipped through our hands....

And it's a sad, sad day
when an angel clips her own wings.

Your demons run deeper than skin,
higher than clouds that descend around you.

Your secrets are whispers in the night
you can't see past the fog that surrounds you.

If I could, I'd take it all away
I'd shoulder all your pain
If only for day.
Right or wrong, no kid deserves
To shoulder all that hurt
The hauntings from the ghosts.

Your biggest enemy is the blood that's in your veins
It's the one damn thing you can't escape.

And another are the memories from your past
How can you escape what you could never forget?

If I could, I'd take it all away
I'd shoulder all your pain
If only for day.
Right or wrong, no kid deserves
To shoulder all that hurt
The hauntings from the ghosts.

Heart Sing

In a dream
so far away
lived a girl
who couldn't face the day.

In a life
so guarded from
the everyday world, but her world
was worldy enough.

She kept her walls up high.

Until you, she never cried
but she'd never tried
'cuz the risks were too extreme.
Until you, she never cursed
but she'd never even spoken a word
because her heart had never sang.
Until you, she had never
even thought of forever as anything
other than nothing.

You made her heart sing, oh,
you made her believe.

It took awhile,
it wasn't instant.
She tried to shut him out
but he was patient.

Then one by one,
her shields came down.
He took her hand, he helped her stand,
helped her feet find the ground.

She'd never felt so much.

Until you, she never cried
but she'd never tried
'cuz the risks were too extreme.
Until you, she never cursed
but she'd never spoken a word
'cuz her heart had never sang.
Until you, she had never
even thought of forever as anything
other than nothing.

You made her heart sing.
You made her believe.

Who could've asked for better
than a love that'll last forever?
They knew that it was true.

Who could've asked for more than
everything they've ever wanted
I couldn't ask for more,
no more than you.

Until you, I'd never cried
but I'd never even tried anything
'cuz the risks were too extreme.
Until you I'd never trusted
I'd never opened up myself to anyone
thank you for showing me,
for making me believe, oh,
you make my heart sing.

It took awhile,
it wasn't instant,
she'd tried so hard to shut him out
but he was patient.
