Going through my day to day Doing the things I know have to be done, I Try not to think so hard on it I just go and I have some fun Leave no time to reminisce Keep up the pace and push that next command, There's No time for feelings, force them out, and just laugh and I'll be alright Keep it swirling Don't let light in But as I live my life I know something isn't right There's pain deep in my soul I, Find there's something calling me In going forth I know That I find myself alone That pain deep in my soul still Unrelenting calling me Shaking off the fleeting thought I have all that I need right in my hands, There's No need for something unreachable So just go and we'll have some fun Spend my time in jubilee Not giving notice to that voice inside, It's Easier to fake it, drown it out, And just laugh and I'll be alright Keep it hidden Don't be selfish But as I live my life I know something isn't right There's pain deep in my soul I, Find there's something calling me In going forth I know That I find myself alone That pain deep in my soul still Unrelenting calling me How can I live my life Knowing something isn't right? It's real, deep in my soul, that Burning fire calling me How am I sure I know That I'm truly all alone? It's there, deep in my soul, a Truth forgotten calling me Listening close I hear That there's something buried here A spark, deep in my soul, I Thought I'd cast out long ago Something I used to be And a way to make it me My soul, still remembers How I can be free

And then I find it's silent All my fears forgotten Knowledge that I reached for All the faith I summoned Pulled into a vision Something beyond reason And I know it's special I want to share this prophecy with you Reach for something to grasp onto Feel it and know Your struggle has been worth it For this feeling See the dream that you have sought for Feel it and know This thing you have desired Is becoming Real, as anything you've handled Feel it and know The warmth that fills inside you Breaking down the Walls, of lies that said the truth Could not be known All that's left is to move forward, forward! Reach for something to grasp onto Feel it and know Your struggle has been worth it For this feeling See the dream that you have sought for Feel it and know This thing you have desired is Real, as anything you've handled Feel it and know The warmth that fills inside you Breaking down the Walls, of lies that said the truth Could not be known All that's left is to move forward, forward!

Welcome to the place I think I'd like to call a home Right here, within a thought This place, once blazing bright, has found it's self a barren throne There's no people to be ruling Quiet and it's calm, yet, fires of a rebel force Still burn, here where they fought A lying king once ruled here, thinking he could solve remorse But now his reign is over Though a fool, I thought that maybe I could save myself I know, I was that king Yet, I'm the one who thrust his sword into that liar's heart And then thought that I would run away Yet this place, it draws me back from where I've roamed, to stay It's here, the thing I sought But now, this time, this process, will be done different way I'm now someone who can grasp it Now that I understand that the pain is my steady fire, I Take up the things I learned about how I can choose to wield it and Carefully start to forge all the words and the dreams I gathered and Ask in the name of heaven to know that the work is suitable Echoing through the halls rings the sound of hammer falls Pounding out a rhythm Once glittering in gold, now the throne has lost it's hold Waiting it sits for it's chance No longer over bright now the keep has little light Only what is needful Singing a happy song works the man, He shouts "Be strong! The time is now! Carry on, Thy will Lord be done!"

Breaking at the end of day As my thoughts start to stray Seeking out a place to rest Slightly senseless Trudging past the gilded throne Knowing the lies that it holds Exiting out by the gate Seeking triumph! Going to a place I know is safe Crafted long ago by faith Giving time to feel and to reflect Here, at my hill of recollection! Winding down, the petals are falling See the scenery spread forth in a stunning sunset Sliver gateways crown the hillside Each one leads me to an honored, treasured, special memory A test of skill, as requested Braved the challenge, took it all in, faced it to win Learning to separate victory in circumstance Still not quite at excellence But it surely was fun A far off dream still warm in my heart, gently Laid down to rest, though it burns, it's not yet time to grasp it Here is where I learned to hope Here is where I chose to dream with a flame in my heart I hope that you will know This story doesn't end here I see no reason to fear Writing down, the tears are now falling See the riverbeds shining in a flaming moonlight Sliver memories crown the hillside Entr'ning more of them to find the lessons waiting for me More than I can do, but still I saw it A flickering dream, I still don't get it Underestimating my skill, doubting I had progressed so far Made in folly, it lacks a dream, hoping one day to give it life This song was born of grief and doubt Given a halted cause, one day will, break out Hoping that I'll one day see, every dream, reality In having hope, lies my strength, to having faith, to be bold Giving no place for the enemy of my soul, guard it fiercely, hope in a dream, truth can be seen And I know my enemy, and he doesn't get to see, all my dreams gathered Here, at my hill of recollection! Rising up, the time is now over See the wildflowers basking in a radiant sunrise Sliver faith now crowns my passion Looking forward to a brand new day to work and grasp it See it clearly, now reminded, of my Dream

Fade, rest, go to sleep, no triumph Here, is your old home, to take you in Something's wrong here Something's missing I'm not from here From this prison Fade, lose all your hope, come back to Pain, is to be feared, and dreams silenced Something's wrong here Something's missing Where's my Savior And my hopeful Dream! I remember now, this old faithless Thone I sat in Always hungry Looking for a Way to end the pain But now, I've found a better way One of faith and of joy, now I Trust one far mightier to save me Fulfilling all of the Dreams I so desperately sought In my dark, in my castle, I Know He's prepared a way to claim them He's has before Trust now, and find the way prepared To all those who are faithful and Know that the neverending pain is A blessing unto the Ones who'll do mighty works on earth Who have proven they're worthy of Greatness, exceeding worldly standards The perfect dream

Clearing out the rubble left by the conflict of a man still grasping unfailing truth Seeking out the words gathered safely within poems written by the family he once knew Sorting through the wisdom provided by prophets speaking truth with full faith and trust in God Picking up the dreams, scattered, burning with the passion of a heart that forgot how to give up on them I know this dream, given hope before the Earth lived You knew this dream, don't give in, we fought to live this! Carefully I'm crafting all of the promises I heard when I felt I knew no one From the words you wrote for songs honored by the hundreds, did you know all of the lives you would touch? Like a word from heaven, I was told that dreams were made to hold, to become reality That my light from God would be the final discerning voice to know I didn't have to give up on them Working hard, singing loud, for the ones loving me And I am breaking through the thrones that held their hearts Hoping they'll take this chance, turn to God, pray to see Dreams, truth and dreams Line by line, in each hour, He has been by my side And I am taking up the Dream He gave to me When you have faith in Him, then you find that you must Dream, share this dream We lived before in a place where we were family We choose to come here to Earth and live in families! I can't help but try to hide all the truth I deeply feel in the ways I act and speak Fearing that my words injure the ones I would honor valiant sons and daughters of a kind God When I speak in earnest, I find that the truth is grafted in with no way to soften it At the end of day I can't even find the vigor left to question the unfading and perfect dream

And that's it, the battle is won now Rest, and see that I'm done somehow Dreams have now become real, right? Why, do I feel new fright? Yes that's right, still not over yet, I've still yet to Share this Dream, though I'm clutching it, it won't mean a Single thing, if I haven't yet, done my duty Share this Dream, now reality, have the faith to Go and find the ones who love enough Gotta ask if they'll be willing to see All the dreams I made to share with them Hoping they won't just say Hey, that seems quite nice for you But, it's just not worth my time See, I've got so much to do So, just try another time And of course I cannot argue Cause I've said the same to subdue All the panic that I feel When I hear their doubts too real Swirling up like hate inside me Tearing down the walls that guide me Breaking up my quiet castle Trying not to cause a hassle Yes that's right, still not over yet, I've still yet to (Cause I often feel this way) (I find it very hard to say) (Take a look, it's made for you) (I don't want to put you through) Share this Dream, though I'm clutching it, it's the time to (All the pain that I have suffered) (In my room alone, no comfort) (Took away the pain I felt) (Hopeless with the hand I'm dealt) Trust this Dream, cause I haven't yet, filled my promise -[Go and be bold] (Constantly I'm fearing input) (Won't return to that I forsook) (Yes, that throne of endless pity) (Criticism will not hold me) Share this Dream, now reality, what He promised -[Faith in what He promised] (Locked away and bound and silent) (I would not be loud or violent) (Choosing that I would instead) (Wage this war within my head) It's alright, you don't have to fear, I am with you -[I know pain ends] (But I found I could not win) (So my days were spent in sin) (Slowly drifting farther from) (What I wanted to become) Trust in Me, I will make it clear, by your faithful -[Find love by your faithful] (What's the thing that finally broke me?) (Slowly burned and finally woke me?) (Surely you can take a guess) (What had shook me from my rest) Diligence, seek out chances to, love your neighbor -[Heart! Keep striving] (When I thought to end my life) (Thinking that would end my strife) (You'll still suffer, I was told) (From the prophets new and old) Learn My word, take the chances to, share My wisdom -[Forward, share My wisdom] (But there is a better way) (Even though you've gone astray) (Choose to give up your old life) (Trust a new one blessed by Christ) By these things, you will surely feel, love surrounds you -[Patience, have faith] (Since I trusted Him till now) (I tried to turn my life around) (I prayed to God and asked to see) (What it is that I could be) By these things, you will go and find, this your hopeful Dream -[Work for this your hopeful Dream] (I expected that I'd see) (None of what had made me, me) (Shocked, I saw my precious things) (Shining in His perfect dream)

Thank You 03:56
I've been away and struggling in my pain But now I find it's all gone away Dreams that I grasped and the visions that I firmly clasped Are now all here and gathered at last on this special day Times I thought I'd give up on hope, times that made me fear the scope Times I thought I could not cope, shattered Thank you for loving me, and thank you for waiting for me! Thank you for trusting me to share this my Dream! Through the times I'd been all alone, through the times my heart was stone Through those times I prayed and hoped, to reach you Even in the darkest abyss, even when my world was mist I just thought, I can't forget, my friends Thank you for loving me and thank you for living my Dream! Thank you for being here with me, here with me! I miss my home and I know my mind, it tends to roam Yet, I can't say I'm alone when you're here with me Thank you for loving me, and thank you for waiting for me! Thank you for trusting me to share this my Dream! I've been here working hard and I've been here singing my song I just want you to feel like me, finally free!

As I'm strolling through endless trials, hope shines brightly in my heart It's fool who thinks pain is meaningless, they can't see that far Every day I see love around me waiting to be recognized Steel your heart, feel your soul, watch and pray, learn to know Being generous, that comes easy, when I see eternity Praying earnestly, that comes naturally, when I share with Him All the things I love, I find He loves, I can feel it in my soul Oh, all the things that He desires, fill up my heart and mind and soul I walk faithfully, cause I trust the dreams I See Him, waiting rather earnestly For you to listen, trust His ambition, share with Him the pain and your mission Life is meaningless, drink be merry, on the morrow we will die Thrones ensnaring you, and convincing you that you cannot fly Are you ready to finally be true to the burning that's inside? Steel your heart, feel your soul, watch and pray, learn to know Pain is meaningful, and you know it so don't run away and hide It's a trial for learning something more of the flame inside Walking faithfully, it comes easy, when you know for you He died Rose on the third day, bore all thy pain, so He could comfort you today I walk faithfully, cause I trust the dreams I See Him, waiting rather earnestly For you to listen, trust His ambition, share with Him the pain and your mission Can you feel it now? Something telling you it's True? Don't forget how this makes you feel This is my mission, trust your ambition, you can have the joy that you're missing I walk faithfully, cause I trust the dreams I See Him, waiting rather earnestly For you to listen, trust His ambition, share with Him the pain and your mission I walk faithfully, (See the dream, I must believe, fear not unseen, for He is with me!) cause I trust the dreams I (Taking steps, with no regret, it's what I've kept, a fight for patience!) See Him, waiting rather earnestly (Stand content, this pain will end, I find again, that love surrounds me!) For you to listen, trust His ambition, share with Him the pain and your mission (I can see, I do believe, fear not unseen, for He is with me!) See His dream, you must believe, fear not unseen, for He is with thee! (I walk faithfully,) Take a step, and don't forget, for all you've kept, this is your triumph! (cause I trust His dream)
