One day these walls are gonna tumble
Each fence of defense will crash to the ground
One day this façade’s gonna crumble
And the mirror much clearer shatter at the sound
Of the truth–
The love I’ve held in will no longer be silent
The words never said will pour out like the rain

But every day you look right past me
And into the eyes of one I can’t be
Every day I catch myself asking
Is love worth all this to me?
What if you never can see what I see
Then one day I’ll set myself free
I’m sick of this cage and its bars
I’m sick of this stage and its stars
I’m sick of this pain and these scars
Hiding so deep in my heart
What if you never can see what I see
One day I’ll set myself free
One day I’ll set me free

One day I’ll walk down the highway
And burned out I’ll reach out for anyone to hold
One day I’ll return to cold silence
And realize my blind eyes never once told
Me the truth–
The heart beating in me will bleed through its thick shell
‘Cause all freedom brought me was heavier chains
My mind will start racing to find whatever it was chasing
‘Till the voice I’ve long longed for will call out my name

And someday you’ll look right at me
See everything that I can be
Someday I’ll catch myself asking
Could love really do this to me?
Finally your heart can see what I see
And safely I set myself free
You’ve unlocked that cage and its bars
I don’t need my stage and its stars
You’ve erased all of the scars
Now I whisper to you with my heart
Finally your heart can see what I see
And safely I’ve set myself free

Safe in your arms, your hand holding mine
Knowing you’ll be here ‘til the end of time
Nothing is sweeter and now I can see
Just how it feels to be FINALLY FREE

No light in this darkness
Like midnight without the moon
No mercy in this justice
And I deserve it all
To come crashing down so soon

I made my choice
It’s over now
I’ll get through this pain I’ve caused myself
But how?

For what it’s worth
I know I’ve fallen
My weakness screams at me
I hear guilt’s loud voice calling
For what it’s worth
I know I don’t deserve Your grace
Or to look upon Your face
But, if You shine Your light into this dark–
For what it’s worth–
You can have my heart

I can bear the consequences though they have to hurt
But I can’t bear for You to leave me here alone
I can’t feel You anymore
I’m pounding on Your door
Don’t you hear?

For what it’s worth
I know I’ve fallen
My weakness screams at me
I hear guilt’s loud voice calling
For what it’s worth
I know I don’t deserve Your grace
Or to look upon Your face
Or see You shine this light into my dark
But, for what it’s worth
I offer you my heart, every single broken part
For what it’s worth

It isn’t much but it’s all there is
How I wish that I had so much more to give
As I lie here in shame, drowning in hurt
Lift me up, Savior
Wash me clean in precious blood

For what it’s worth
I offer you my heart
And I hope that You will take it
For what it’s worth

The shuffle of feet muffles music’s pure voice
The sound of the masses declaring their choice
Why struggle, why work, why fight this, why learn?
If effort won’t determine the wages we earn..
Lifeless hands hang from emaciated frames
An ocean of numbers who’ve forgotten their names
Why reach for the stars when the stars are not shining?
Life’s not worth the looking for that silver lining.
Every cliché we hear everyone pray hits the roof
Like the hollow thud of that burned-out reindeer’s hoof
Even a rainbow blends into a sky shaded gray
The bright-night-colors faded to hideous day.

Clocked-in and clocked-out, we’re suddenly locked out
Of home..and everything life was when it was our own
Purpose is a misspelled dolphin
Dreams–fool thoughts long since forgotten
And love? just a theory that says we could care
About something more than the color of your hair.

What could we possibly want that we’re missing?
We have power and breath and a social position
Sure, we’re all the same and we dye our skin tan
This uniform fits the wide spectrum of man..
But who would we be without equality
Or the justice that reigns in the land of the free?
Why stand out in the cold when the mold is so warm
Where nothing can break us, not even the storm?

Any question you ask, the answer is no
We can’t answer questions because we don’t know
Why ask why things are the way that they are?
Just look at us, we’ve come so far.
