Before The Day

I never knew what love was
All I'd had was empty feelings
My existence full of loneliness
Consequences of my dealings

So why is it that I feel no pain
When I look into your eyes
Why has my mind removed disdain
And my soul release its cries

I never felt this way before the day slipped away
As if tomorrow decided to play with yesterday
Our love washed away all my pain and past debris
It's because of you that I am free to see the joy within me

It's the sheer joy of your presence
That has bandaged my despair
Cradled away my imperfections
That I assumed beyond repair

Released the torment from my life
Filling the void with your kiss
Never had I ever experienced
A feeling such as this

I never felt this way before the day slipped away
As if tomorrow decided to play with yesterday
Our love washed away all my pain and past debris
It's because of you that I am free to see the joy within me...

Journey

Through the mountains,
the valleys and plains
Through the hailstorms,
the winds and the rains
I continue forward,
in my pursuit
To let you know
that I've been searching for you

I've conquered the lion,
in search of your face
I've battled the dragons,
to feel your embrace
I continue forward...
it's all I can do
To let you know
that I can't live without you

My mission is clear
I'm in search of the key
that unlocks the box
to my destiny...
I am nothing without you
So until I see
your loving face, I'll continue
my journey...

Just out of reach
So close, I can taste you
I'm gaining ground
Until the day I can face you
Your hand in mine,
your left ring finger adorned,
and our hearts will never
apart be torn... (I'll press on)

My mission is clear
I'm in search of the key
that unlocks the box
to my destiny...
I am nothing without you
So until I see
your loving face, I'll continue
my journey...

Repaired

I’ll remove every ounce of pain from your soul
Try to get rid of your disdain
To take away loneliness from you is my goal
And you will be repaired when I’m through

I can see the pain in your eyes; please don’t hide
I won’t let it lead to your demise
Trust in me, it will be alright; let’s just ride
Darkness will give into the light

Baby, don’t fear
A broken heart (because)
I will be here
Never depart
You’re the only one for me

I’ll remove every ounce of pain from your soul
Try to get rid of your disdain
To take away loneliness from you is my goal
And you will be repaired when I’m through

Baby, don’t fear
A broken heart (because)
I will be here
Never depart from me
Baby, don’t fear
A broken heart (because)
I will be here
Never depart
You’re the only one for me

Love’s a two way street
Full of hills and valleys
Honey, rest your feet
Your pain, I’ll try to carry
You’ve helped me through storms over the years
And now it’s my turn
To ease your fears and dry your tears
Mend your heart, take your concerns
And make them disappear

Baby, don’t fear
A broken heart (because)
I will be here
Never depart from me
Baby, don’t fear
A broken heart (because)
I will be here
Never depart
You’re the only one for me

I Gotta Go

Any move I make
It always seems to be a big mistake
In your dreams for me; I can't escape
God, deliver us from evil, for it rapes
me of my senses...

Lets put it on the table
Cuz the man you hoped I'd be is just a fable
The all-american male you see on cable
And the cost of loving you is the loss of my defenses...

I can't take much more of this insanity...

Lord, my soul is weak
Torn from the secrets of which I must not speak
Therefore I must escape or risk defeat
Or should I remain in the back seat
to spare their feelings...

Haunted by my past
How much longer will these feelings last
Or is my existence doomed to Alcatraz
Lord deliver us from evil, for I can't
continue dealing...
with this...

I gotta break free from this insane situation
I gotta break free; gotta find my destination
And depart from this place I used to call home
I gotta break free; I gotta go...
