Hunt Me Down 03:41
Somewhere along the lines I heard you’re look’n for me Ask’n people questions about where I am Pursuing me regardless of whether I wanted to meet you Try’n to track me down though I keep on running round Hunt me down, hunt me down in and out of every town I will run, I will run until my heart becomes undone I’m doing all I can to avoid your heavy hand Dodging every question with a grin Is it true, is it true that you’ll never stop pursuit No matter what I don’t and what I do? Well here I am you’ve got me now make it quick don’t tell me how Do me in invade my soul take my heart and take my gold Cause I give up and I give in cause with my best well I can’t win Take my time, take my dreams, take it all take everything Take my mind, bend it round put my knees with on the ground Put Your hand to my head say the words that make me dead Hunt me down, hunt me down in and out of every town I won’t run, I won’t run because my hearts becomes undone Jesus Christ I am yours King of kings Lord of lords Jesus Christ I am yours I am yours.

Hard Words 05:48
hard, words, cut down to the bone fear, and lies, seem to hide in our souls to burn, to be cold, it will stay until we’re old the trials, and the fire, will build the walls of our home be still and be calm this won’t last for long all things they must pass don’t give in that fast doubt, and belief, seem to be a part of faith and strength in myself, will always be my mistake hard words, cut down to the bone fear and those lies seem to hide in our souls be still and be calm it won’t last for long all things they must pass don’t give in that fast

The Captain 04:30
All is forgotten I’ve left it by the riverside, I’ve thrown in down the canyon and walked away. I won’t remember nothing from the north unto the south, I’ve buried it six feet down into the ground. All is forgiven rest assured you can take my words, my heart is the anchor of your drifting ship. And I too am The Captain keeping you from certain death, for when I breathe its the wind that blows your sails. And it sounds like... When your body crumbles it cracks and creeks beneath your feet and your hair turns white as the crashing waves. For I will never fail you when you come to your hearts end and understanding circumstance is gone. Because all I have given it can’t be given back to me, whats done is done is written its history. For I will continue to be with you when your mind fails even when you don’t feel that I am. And it sounds like... All is forgiven rest assured you can take my words, my heart is the anchor of your drifting ship.

How many times? How many days? How many hard, hard, hard ways? What did it take? To learn my mistake? How many worn, worn, worn souls at stake? There’s something eluding my sunshine It’s just not who I expected to be I didn’t think what happens in the movies would happen to me But now that the hour has spoken The strong arms of truth are choking The lies that have shaped who I am Now that loves gone and the demons have come whispering lies, lies, lies all night long there’s just no more strength to stand on my own I can no longer hide, hide, hide what’s in my soul There’s something eluding my sunshine It’s just not who I expected to be I didn’t think what happens in the movies would happen to me But now that the hour has spoken The strong arms of truth are choking The lies that have shaped who I was

We Will Rise 04:53
When you’re feeling the lie, coming up inside Like a fire that’s on the rise When you’re feeling the fears, ringing in your ears Like a shotgun to your mind When confusion is loud, and knocking at your door Come on its time for war When the battle is on and things become untied It’s me that’s on your side We will rise above the clouds The sun will bring to light our darkest doubts And we will rise above the clouds When we don’t know where to go it only goes to show. We have much to learn When I don’t know what to say my words get in the way, And it seems to make things worse We will rise above the clouds The sun will bring to light our darkest doubts And we will rise above the clouds
