Hold out your courage

this road was built by others
this road was built by others
this road was made for rafts and boats
rafts and boats
a fight is staged
rapids assayed
rocks are gleaming knives
as the levels surge
hold out your courage
hold out your courage
well it is a river
it will take you where it's going
no effort necessary
the current always present
if you try and change direction
if you try and change direction
it will do its best to smother you
to push you into line
a fight is staged
rapids assayed
rocks are gleaming knives
as the levels surge
hold out your courage
hold out your courage
so you've made it now
you've slain the sacred cow
undercurrents have relaxed
and the question hangs
how will this remain
when your children have grown up
undercurrents have relaxed
and the question hangs
how will this remain
how will this remain
hold out your courage

heard the rumors
couldn't believe my ears
interviewed the prisoners
they had nothing but tears
I questioned the powers
about all they'd done and they
were only concerned with their power
How long, O Lord?
And we know and we know when we see it
it's too terrible to turn away
and we know and we know that we feel it
inside
and you try and you try for concealment
in the laws that you write to turn away
all the voices are calling for justice
today
talked with the common man
but he had no idea that he was
enabling wickedness
just by doing his job - if there's
a time for hateful things
then there's a time for them to end
every dictator is temporary
it just takes a spark to kindle
And we know and we know when we see it
it's too terrible to turn away
and we know and we know that you feel it
inside
and you try and you try and you try
And we know that you know that we see it
you're too terrible to look away
and we know and we know that you feel it
inside
though you try though you try for concealment
there is nothing that will remain
if it's hidden it will be
brought to light
I heard the rumors
couldn't believe my ears
interviewed the prisoners
they had nothing but tears

Headlines
02:12
|

all the headlines are the protruding ends
of the mouthpiece of the sewer rat pack
gilt pyrite the monopoly-ist
the headlines are the descriptive bends
of the swamp muck of the dirty river down
steam boat steam paddle like an alligator
hey man do you know do you know of any other way?
to push back against the oligarchs in my heart
and the status quo
hey I'm talking to you
hey hey hey where ya goin?
in a turn down run down tattered little alleyway
folks are trying yes they keep on trying
to pay
well in that turn down run down bleak claustro alleyway
folks are trying to keep down to push down
the pain
hey man do you know do you know of any other way?
to push back against the oligarchs
reset the score board
wipe the dust off of my heart
of the status quo
hey man I wanna know wanna know of another way
I wanna be alive
wanna feel alive
wanna be alive
wanna feel alive
wanna be alive
and love come and have your way
well no headline is gonna tell you anything good

the Lord has bared His holy arm
the Lord has bared His holy arm
in the sight of all the nations
all the ends of the earth shall see
the Lord's salvation
all the ends of the earth shall see
salvation
what wondrous love is this
oh my soul, oh my soul
what wondrous love is this
oh my soul, oh my soul
oh my soul, oh my soul
in the sight of all the nations
all the ends of the earth shall see
the Lord's salvation
in the sight of all the nations
all the ends of the earth shall see
salvation
the Lord has bared His holy arm
the Lord has bared His holy arm

The Greatest

Oh Lord, I've tried
Oh Lord, I've tried so hard
You know I'm like a sheep in the midst of wolves
Oh Lord, all I see is wrong
Oh Lord, we've tried
Oh Lord, we've tried so hard
You know we're like the sheep in the midst of wolves
Oh Lord, all they're doing is wrong
I give You all of my heart
I give You all of my mind
I give You all of my soul
I give You all of my strength
Oh Lord, I will love my neighbor
Oh Lord, when they show me hate
You know we're like the sheep in the midst of wolves
Oh Lord, it's impossible, impossible
We will love our enemy
We will love our enemies, too
Jesus was like a lamb led to slaughter
Oh Lord, it's impossible, impossible
I give You all of my heart
I give You all of my mind
I give You all of my soul
I give You all of my strength
You said the Kingdom was like a tiny seed
That grew up into the biggest tree
So won't You come and love my neighbor
And my enemy, come love them, love them too
I give You all of my heart
I give You all of my mind
I give You all of my soul
I give You all of my strength
