“POMPEII BASTILLE”

By BAD BLOOD

Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x8]

I was left to my own devices

Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down

In the city that we love

Great clouds roll over the hills

Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

In your pose as the dust settled around us

And the walls kept tumbling down

In the city that we love

Great clouds roll over the hills

Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x4]

Oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?

Oh oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)

In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)

Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)

Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)

But if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?

And if you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like

You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x8]

New Divide

By Lincoln Park

I remembered black skies

The lightning all around me

I remembered each flash

As time began to blur

Like a startling sign

That fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Give me reason

To fill this hole

Connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight

But memories left abandoned

There was nowhere to hide

The ashes fell like snow

And the ground caved in

Between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Across this new divide

In every loss

In every lie

In every truth that you'd deny

And each regret

And each goodbye

Was a mistake to great to hide

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason

To fill this hole

Connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

Across this new divide

Across this new divide

“One Step Away”

by Casting Crowns

What if you could go back and relive one day of your life all over again I think it

means that what would you do if you could go and change something in you life.

And unmake the mistake that left you a million miles away

From the you, you once knew

Now yesterday's shame keeps saying that you'll never get back on track

But what if I told you

You're one step away from surrender

One step away from coming home, coming home

One step from arms wide open

His love has never let you go

You're not alone

You're one step away

It doesn't matter how far you've gone

Mercy says you don't have to keep running down the road you're on

Love's never met a lost cause

Your shame, lay it down

Leave your ghosts in the past 'cause you know that you can't go back

But you can turn around

You've never been more than

One step away from surrender

One step away from coming home, coming home

One step from arms wide open

His love has never let you go

You're not alone (not alone)

You're one step away

You're one step away

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Come now, and take up your new name

Your best life up ahead now

You're one step away

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Come now, and take up your new name

Your best life up ahead now

You're one step away

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Come now, and take up your new name

Your best life up ahead now

You're one step away

So come on home, come on home

One step from arms wide open

His love has never let you go

You're not alone (you're not alone)

You're one step away

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Take up, take up your new name

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Take up, take up your new name

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Come now, take up your new name

Your best life up ahead now

One step away

Lay down, lay down your old chains

Come now, and take up your new name

Your best life up ahead now

You're just one step away

If i were in charge of the world

by Caleb Crabbs

Stanza 1

If I were in charge of the world

I would make the best of it

I would make everything equal

If I were in charge of the world

Stanza 2

If I were in charge of the world

I would say "Let There Be No More Slaves"

I would make world hunger end

If I were in charge of the world

Stanza 3

If I were in charge of the world

I would make high school more of what you want

I would say " WE ARE PEOPLE CELEBRATE THAT WE ARE ALIVE"

If I were in charge of the world

Stanza 4

If I were in charge of the world

I would make the poor become rich and the rich help the poor

I would give out free meals on the holidays

If I were in charge of the world
