shout 

[shout]

it would seem there’s more than meets the eye

won’t someone go turn on the light

this is our time in history

what will be our great legacy

 

[pre-chorus]

ohh do you hear the sound of a great army?

ohh do you hear a rushing wind?

 

come on,

 

[chorus]

shout

let the walls come down

shout

let your voice be heard now

 

it should come to us as no surprise

this jagged walk of alibis

let discontentment wake the plan

let the fire ignite

let the people stand

 

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

 

the thought that started as a whisper turned into a noise

breakin’ through the silence

united as a single voice

for such a time as this

a generation born to live

with freedom to proclaim

freedom to wonder

[repeat]

 

[shout]

[chorus]

shout

let the walls come down


call unto Me
can’t see the stars tonight
clouds move and hold back the moonlight
you leave the crowd inside
time feels like it’s moving in slow motion
the questions on your mind
fill the air tonight
something’s stirring inside
do you feel it rising?

[chorus]

call unto Me and I will

show you marvelous things

you would not know on your own

I hold the keys to your life

there’s so much to be shown

you’re not in this all alone

 

don’t be so mystified

there’s no need to get complicated

slow down your crazy ride

breathe out the air you just breathed

there are secrets to unfold

visions to behold

about the here and now

do you feel it rising?

 

[chorus]

 

so high

My thoughts are much higher than yours

My way is far better than yours

this way is far better

you say you wanna be safe not sorry

you say you’re done doing things the hard way

can’t follow those feelings anymore

you’ve been trying to heal the heartbreak

well there’s still things need to be forgiven

don’t wanna be lonely anymore

you say you really wanna run with freedom

talk about your secret addictions

solid treatments not working anymore

 

call unto Him and He will

show you marvelous things

you would not know on your own

He hold the keys to your life

there’s so much to be shown

we’re not in this all alone

[we’re not in this all alone]

call out

call out


go home
so you wanna save the world
maybe first you should save your family
so you wanna save the world
maybe first you should save the ones you love

go home

go home

go home

go home

 

so you wanna have it all

[wanna be so tall]

givin’ everything for everything

[tired of it all]

there’s a story gonna be worth repeating

 

go home

go home now

go home

go home now

go home

go home now

 

return the hearts of the fathers

to the sons and the daughters

they will not be forever young

restore the years that were wasted

and all the broken places

we will not be forever young

 

[return

to your sons and your daughters]

 

return

the hearts of the fathers

to the sons and the daughters

they will not be forever young

 

go home

go home now

go home

go home now

 

so you wanna save the world


every knee

can a nation be healed?

can a nation be changed,

returned to You?

can a man be set free

if he surrenders his heart

to the truth

better sooner than later to see...

 

[chorus]

every knee

every knee

will bow before Your throne, oh God

every knee

every knee

will bow before Your throne, oh God

 

does the promise still remain

if we would humble ourselves and pray

You would heal the broken man

or do our hearts no longer feel pain

to do the things that once brought us shame

oh help us to remember

sooner or later we’ll see...

 

[chorus]

 

we’ve see nations rise

we’ve seen kingdoms fall

and the towers climb so high

and the idols strand so tall

they will bring us to the ground

if we don’t learnt to fear You now

we must learn to fear You now

 

every knee

every knee

will bow before You

every knee

every knee

will bow before Your throne, oh God

every knee

will bow before Your throne, oh God

every knee

every knee

will bow before Your throne, oh God

 

every knee will bow


best thing
fell on his face

as it all hit the brakes

in a moment of time

it’s all out on the line

nobody knew the rain would fall

and how the flood would bring levy down

 

fell on his face

as it all hit the brakes

in a moment of time

it’s all out on the line

nobody knew the rain would fall

and how the flood would bring the levy down

 

in the break right there

in the headlights’ glare

you see all those secret times in the air now

 

[chorus]

this is the best thing that could have happened

the best thing that could have happened to you

this is the best thing that could have happened

the best thing that could have happened to you

 

fell on his face

and he cries and he shakes

feels like a train collided

it’s the reuniting

the stop and the go

it’s the “t” in the road

he’s on his way home

 

he’s been the man on the run

he’s been the fist in the glove

he’s been the push and the shove

he is the prodigal son yeah

 

[chorus]

this is the best thing that could have happened

the best thing that could have happened to you

 

[fell on hid face

and he cries and he shakes

feels like a train collided

it’s the reuniting

the stop and the go

it’s the “t” in the road

he’s on the way home]

 

[chorus 2x]

 

fell on his face

as it all hit the brakes

in a moment of time

it’s all out on the line

nobody knew the rain would fall

and how the flood would bring levy down

“you take away my mobile phone, you’ll take away a part of me”

“this distinction between the physical world and the virtual one will become increasingly blurred”

“those who perhaps are not very aware of this technology may just say can’t you just switch it off? [switch it off?]”

“yeah but you’re depriving yourself of your social network technology is enormously important for their social lives”

“24/7 communication world we live in we can even go inside the target’s own home, even their own bedroom”

“don’t get some people”

“this misuse of technology...”

“..allow for a new type of protest that resonates with ordinary citizens”

 

[ya know its going to]

[it going to]

it won’t if we don’t let it

it won’t if we don’t let it go

ya know it’s not like we don’t get

we gotta second guess it

welcome to the dog and pony show

the dream killers with the time in their hands

they’ll take an inch take a mile

if we don’t know where we stand

its not like we don’t get it

it’ll get us if we let it go

 

[chorus]

don’t waste your life

don’t waste your life

don’t waste your life

don’t waste your life

it’s the only one you have

 

a true fake

an ingenious fool

take my time

take my space

put your face in a chew

its not like we don’t get it

but do you have it or does it have you?

 

[chorus]

 

[do you have it?

do you have it?

or does it have you?

or does it have you?]

 

“you take away my mobile phone, you’ll take away a part of me”[me][me][me][me]

“..allow for a new type of protest”

you belong to Me
[chorus]

you belong to Me

the atmosphere is changing

but you are still My child

[chorus]

 

see the rain

on your face

thought the stars may rage around you

you are safe in My embrace

here behind the scenes

do not fear

let faith arise

 

[chorus]

 

let Me whisper to your...

[whisper to your...]

lift your hands and I know that you are breathing

lift your head let Me know that you’re alive

new normal

i heard it

there’s no doubt it ya’ll

you said you meant

got me thinkin’ bout it

if you say that it’s true

then it’s something I can do now

and it’s the path I’m takin’

ironic there’s no doubt about

creator

created

why the imitatin’

it’s the tabloid mentality

of the train wreck that you’re showin’ me

is this the way to be livin’

 

[comin’ around]

[comin’ around to You]

 

[chorus]

breakin’ away from what is meant to be

a normal kind of life for me

what is it anyway?

i’m done with playin’ safe now

this is the new way

 

i love it

there’s no doubt about

this hour

let’s take it

now’s the time to shape it

it’s the day it’s the age

it’s the turnin’ of the page now

the one shot we’ve been given

 

comin’ around

comin’ around to You

this is the truth to embrace

it can seem out of place

i’m wanting you

 

[chorus]

 

breakin’ away from what is meant to be

tell me what is normalcy

and who will define the definition?

 

breakin’ away

breakin’ away from what is meant to be

and who decides the definition

[comin’ round to You]

 

[chorus 2x]

i’m breakin’ away

what is it anyway?

this is the new way

 

 

carried me home

what is there left to say?

the words they seem to fail now

overwhelmed by the Name

who paid the price for me

what if You never moved

what if You never came down

leaving Your throne in heaven

to bring us back to You

 

You carried me home

You carried me home

You carried me home

when You rolled the stone away

You rolled my stone away

 

searching for us You came

binding up the brokenhearted

looking for the men enslaved

to the secrets of his shame

climbing inside the pain

it was You who truly bore the heartache

rearranged the story’s ending

to bring us back to life again

 

You carried me home

You carried me home

You carried me home

when you rolled the stone away

You carried me home

You carried me home

You made me Your own

when You rolled the stone away

 

sing it now

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

 

forgiven

[hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah]

indeed

the stone has set free

[yeah]

 

forgiven

[hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah]

indeed

the stone we’ve all had set free

 

You carried me home

You carried me home

You carried me home

when You rolled the stone away

You rolled my stone away

yeah You rolled that stone away

 

 

pink elephant

there is a pink elephant

he came into town

and this big old pink elephant

has been hanging around

for so long

he’s crept up dark avenues

and into the houses

he’s sitting in living rooms

breaking the couches

 

shine the light on

the big old pink elephant

shine the light on

he’s no friend of ours

 

such a sweetly sick taste

he is the gift that keeps taking

and the promises he makes

are the quick fixes that keep breaking

and its awkward

and its strange

and he won’t seem to go away

and we all know that he’s here

and its time he disappeared

 

[chorus]

shine the light on

the big old pink elephant

 

whoaaaa

[this is definitely going to work out]

one more

whoaaaa

 

shine the light on the dirty pink elephant

shine the light on

he’s no friend of ours

shine the light on

the big old pink elephants

[it’s more than about time]
