hold my flag high sweet surrender
fed myself and i'm so sorry
lifted up and i began believing
words of affirmation
taken from their rightful owner
clear to pass, distraction is defeated
even though i am a vessel
surrounded by a thousand angels
i forget, neglect it, at times complacent
feed this mind with wisdom
avoid all thoughts premeditated
life is at it's best in, simplicity too
and i am nothing but a slave
as self belief will lie and keep me down
my selfishness now lies in waste
i've learned to keep in sight
the people who've fallen
broken i'm down, falling
broken i fall into place
broken i'm down, falling
broken i'm broken
building all on faith and only
saying what is good and noble
relentless mouth piece for the people i love
clear to pass and worthy
i do nothing for His perfection
all i am and even need to be too
so they said "you're a vagrant,
not your patch it's a carpark
juveniles on my land go clear off"
here again it's a picture
social order is weighed off
up against the faces of the young for all i know
so you're young
well that's alright
no matter who you are
and don't believe that there's
nothing to say
nothing to say
woke today another story
visions are all but faded
yesteryear, all that's been, it's not your fault
congregate another victim
realise the inner sanctum
make our mark, stake our claim for all we are
rebel rebel
'cause you're the new sensation
rebel rebel
'cause you're the new sensation
so you're young
well that's alright
well that's alright
well that's alright with me
rebel rebel rebel
promise of last night
few hours it's another day
keys and car to drive
and fade into eternity
i cried myself to sleep
i wished you well and it
seemed to be so true
a reminder of all that's left
i wake up cold
and sing to you, so
fallen beliefs
you're more than kind
premise to a fight
you're leaving in a fit of hate
strong enough to cry
on any day than today
so here we are
today for another year
you push me 'round
i'm hurt, but you'll see i'm ok
it's typical
new kid don't know the rules
it's the food chain
you'll see who's boss in this school
it's freezing though it's warm
as i recall
and no it's not by punishment
that i learn
so say goodbye
as you see me now
i'm not hopeless, i'm not dumb
words i won't take
as they slowly pass me by
yeah, i'm leaving
so here we are
grown up and in plain view
it's years ago we squared off fighting at school
for me now
the pursuit of a dream
for you now, mortgage and baby screaming
graduate of innocence
begins the road and travel
the call is out to join the fight
and family line is followed
forget me not
memories of tonight
'cause this house is a home
when you're running through her mind
orders the response
soldiers in lines they hold
prayers for them safe
they fall to the beaches cold
visit from corporal
message is born for all
jolting denial
future's not what she first thought
she's up and flying, wind in hair
forever in your right hand
she's up and flying, wind in hair
forever in your right hand
by saying nothing
i'm saying something else
not victim to the cause
in time the voices fade, away
if you live in my world
then live in my world now
tendencies to forget
the year, the date, the time, the day
i'm claiming the ground
and saying what's mine
my voice isn't heard
now i'm screaming out loud
'cause i tried my wings tonight
i tried my wings tonight
so he read out his rules
read out his rules
i started writing mine
on how to become famous, or infamous
voices, faces
vacant stares at me
while angels look from height
at how we live in circles, in circles
say it loud, say it clear
because i'm really listening
and i know what you need
you need love
your words have me on my knees
they cut so close, would you believe?
some prose from me to you so
awakened to melody
when not all, but most my dreams
have started to come to bloom, so
so what's that saying for you, you, you? yeah
even though it's a sacrifice
and common sense is feeding
a lie so damn convincing
well i still know what's good and right
a place and time to reflect
it's when faith is all that's left
the strength arose from you so
spurred on by words from friends
i find myself in healing hands
three words ring out so true than
than a thousand from you, you, you, yeah
given another chance
i don't want your pain anyway
given another chance
i don't want your pain anymore
all that i hope
is that you find
reasons, release identified
feels like a misery
has followed me down
is draggin' around
feels like i've got no retreat
or place to reside
one day at a time
still one question lingers
what did you mean with the word 'mentor'?
read it on my facial expression
hear the words concealed frustration found
promises not believed in anyway
another delay doesn't mean anything
and technology dictates our friendship now
does it, feel like a chore?
'cause i feel like a chore to you
do i feel like a chore?
'cause i feel like a chore to you
and i'm walking on the cold side of the moon
and i don't feel that peace of mind
that i had read about in school
my vision set on one
a soul is lying it awaits
to feel alright
broken, restless, tired
the fear of flight
have i told you that you're beautiful in white
and i'm strolling through a garden it's midday
and i know her source of life
so close to death and all it's pain
so i pray for a safe flight
jodie lies waiting now for days
promises are waste
believed in yesterday
lied to, scorned, ashamed
taken in yesterday
fading to the strain
and fear of yesterday
fear of yesterday
it's all lies
and i'm dancing on the ocean waves it's late
father commiserates and cries
forever flying she partakes
and soars to greater heights
her life in harmony arrived
she feels alright
triumphant youthful child
the weeks go by
have i told you that you're beautiful
have i told you that you're beautiful
have i told you that you're beautiful
have i told you that you're beautiful tonight, to-night
