words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you just how I feel
I will show you
I will show you my love is real

Nobody's ever gonna love you like I am
You never can deny that
Nobody's ever gonna hold you like I am
I'll love you 'til I die
Until the day I die

I said “forever”
I said “forever” and I mean it
I made a promise
And I intend to always keep it

Forever is so far beyond the reach of my mind

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

You've been hiding now for so long
Never understanding why
Running far away from the truth
And all along chasing after lies

I have loved you from the beginning
Long before you knew my name
Even though you've broken my heart
I'll love you just the same
I'll love you anyway

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
When you feel there's nowhere
Left for you to turn
Well, I got all you want
And everything you need
Come on back to me

Do you believe in second chances
Or in a love that never fades
Put your faith in what you can't see
Just put your hand in mine

. . .


words by Mark Lee / music by Third Day

Turn on the spotlight, strike up the band
Everyone's looking my way They came to see the excitement firsthand
And hear all that I've got to say

Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me
Or watch me fall?

I am walking on a wire
I tiptoe in through the fire
Never looking down to see that
I am walking on a wire
The pressure's getting higher
But I don't look around

Everyone roots for the winner
The others well maybe next time
Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes
Then they just leave you behind

Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me
Or watch me fall?

I am walking on a wire
I tiptoe in through the fire
Never looking down to see that
I am walking on a wire
The pressure's getting higher
But I don't look around

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain't got what it takes
The drive and the determination
And the lucky breaks
I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain't got the face
I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain't got what it takes

Seeing my face up on the TV
Hearing my songs on the radio
People waiting all day in line to see me
Doing my pose for Rolling Stone

Well, it's alright, yeah it's alright

Living lifestyles of the rich and famous
Turning all heads in the music scene
Flying in my own jet plane to Vegas
Riding in a big black limousine

Well, it's alright, yeah it's alright

No, I ain't got nothing
But, to you I'm something

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

Give me something that I can believe and then I'll
Share it with the world for everyone to see
Take away the darkness, all the pain and sadness
I know it's you that put this light inside of me

I believe in a faith that's strong
I believe in a hope that carries on
I believe in these things and more
Most of all, most of all
I believe in love

If I had the strength to move a mountain
Would you be amazed by all of my abilities
I guess it would not mean much if I didn't have love

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

I hate to be, to be the one
Who's given up
And feels that all our hope is gone
But what I thought was a miracle
Just turned into the same old
Problem that it was

She longs for better days
She's always been afraid

It's a shame, oh it's a shame
That you are throwing your whole life away
It's a shame, oh it's a shame
I wonder if you're ever going to change
It's a shame

Ever since I can recall
She has been so afraid
Of you losing it all
What do you want
Do you even know
And is it worth the pain
We all have to endure

She longs for better days
She's always been afraid

You left her without leaving
You hit her without swinging

You took away without giving a thing
Except for pain and sorrow
I'm praying that tomorrow

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

Each and every single day
I was throwing life away with questions
Searching for a better way
Always looking in the wrong direction

My heart I could not trust
' Cause it lies to me too much
And my mind just couldn't
Understand it all

How could I have been so blind to not see you
The more that I look the more I find
You've led me to the truth
That I am nothing if I'm without you
You opened my eyes and helped me to find
How could I have been so blind

I have fallen once again
Evidently made the wrong decision
Stumbling in the dark
Now I need you here to be my vision

My heart I cannot trust
' Cause it lies to me too much
And my mind just cannot
Understand it all

You took my heart and you changed it
With your words of life
You took my eyes and you opened them

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

I got a message
I got a song
Can I get a witness
Tell me what's going on

I'll show the people
A better way
Maybe I will tomorrow
Maybe I will today

'Cause I got a feeling it won't be long
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
But I know one thing for sure
Only time will tell it
I got a feeling coming over me
Nothing else here can set me free
But I know one thing for sure
Well, I've got to show it

I got a mission
I got a sign
Is anybody listening
I gotta make sure this time
I'll tell the people
What's on my mind
Maybe I will tomorrow
Maybe I will tonight

I got a message
I got a song

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

It doesn't take much
For my heart to break
And you have done it
For what's seems the millionth time

Whenever I hear
Of your saving grace
And how you gave your life
In exchange for mine

Sometimes I wonder why you even love me
And why you ever chose to call me child
Then I remember
It's by your sacrifice
I can say that
I am yours and you are mine

It doesn't take much
For me to shed a tear
And you have done so many things
To make me cry
Whenever I think
Of all that I've done wrong
And everything that you have done
To make it right

It doesn't take much
For my heart to break
And you have done it

. . .


words by Mark Lee / music by Third Day

It seemed like I had run out of second chances
And they sentenced me to die
And I was just like a dead man walking
I was running out of time

But you came to me and opened my eyes
You gave me a brand new life

I am innocent and I have been set free
I no longer have chains around my feet
And no matter where I go or what they say
I am innocent

Many years have passed since the day that I met you
But your words are still the same
And every time I find myself with joy or sadness
I am calling out your name

'Cause you came to me and opened my eyes

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

Super Star Billy Brown
Whatcha' doing to this town
Don'tcha know that everybody here
Wants to be like you

All of your adoring fans
Sitting in the seats and stands
Listening to every word you say
And watching every move
Once I saw a sign that said
“ Billy Brown for President”
It ain't easy being a star
It ain't easy to be who you are
It ain't easy but you're going far
Well, you say there's nothing to it
But somebody's gotta do it, boy

Super Star Billy Brown
Stop and listen to the crowd
Everywhere you go
Everybody's screaming out your name

Do they know the reason why
You point your finger to the sky

We all are watching and expect
That whatever you are doing next
Well, it is gonna be the greatest thing

. . .


words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

Forever seems so distant
Much further than today
You turn around and in an instant
You find that you are just as far from yesterday
The day it feels like winter
The night it feels like stone
You turn around and you remember
When you're surrounded
You can still feel so alone

But it's in between the start and end
I find myself once again
Questioning this place
Calling out your name
San Angelo
What do you know
And tell me do you have something to say
Don't get me wrong
But I miss my home
And it feels like I'm a million miles away
San Angelo
Why do I ask these questions
How come I have these doubts
Cause I find every situation
It always seems to have
It's way of working out

But it's in between the start and end
I find myself once again
Questioning this place

. . .


words by Mark Lee / music by Third Day

Sometimes the night starts closing in
And I've lost my way home again
I'm running out of places I can turn
Enemies on every side
Not a friend around for miles
That's the time it really starts to hurt

Beat me up and drag me down
I'll never be afraid

I will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me down
I will hold my head high

I know you said it'd be okay
Sometimes I question just the same
I wonder if my problems are too small
Then I look back and realize
All your pain and sacrifice
Oh and how you suffered for us all

Beat me up and drag me down
I'll never be afraid

Beat me up and drag me down
And lock me in or keep me out
Whatever they may throw at me
