It's there in a sideways glance<br/> So sly you should not know<br/> But it hurts you just the same<br/> Even if the scars don't show<br/> <br/> You wonder what it's like<br/> To be on the other side<br/> But you cannot live that way<br/> Even if you try<br/> <br/> Tow the line, take the time<br/> Compassion for them all<br/> Never lose your heart of gold<br/> In the end there is a gift<br/> For those who heed the call<br/> Never lose your heart of gold<br/> <br/> The path of righteousness<br/> Is such a narrow road<br/> And the burden of maltreatment<br/> Is a quite cumbersome load<br/> <br/> Oppression and wrongdoing<br/> Add up to wear you down<br/> Forgiveness is arduous<br/> When you feel like a clown

I always wondered just what it would be like<br/> I would not go willingly, I'd fight it tooth and nail<br/> But here in this moment, clinging to life<br/> I realize all my struggling is to no avail<br/> <br/> I am cowered before you<br/> Your presence is so frightening<br/> I can sense your power<br/> Is my life over?<br/> Covered by your wings<br/> I know my fate is yours<br/> Are you the cherub that has come to<br/> Take me home?<br/> <br/> Angel, angel in black<br/> I know you've come to take me<br/> But I can't go back<br/> Angel, angel in black<br/> Please show me some mercy<br/> And let me go back<br/> <br/> It is clear that I am powerless before you<br/> And all my pleading is falling on deaf ears<br/> But my short time on earth has not been enough<br/> And I am begging you for just a few more years

So you wanna tear down that mountain<br/> Do you think you are strong enough?<br/> The jagged rocks will grind your frail bones<br/> And send you straight back where you're from<br/> <br/> The shear mass is overwhelming<br/> You're falling back just to view the peak<br/> While inner voices keep on saying<br/> You're a loser, worthless and weak<br/> <br/> Confusion veils the path ahead<br/> Blinded by consuming dread<br/> Don't be afraid of what's to come<br/> Just focus on the next step<br/> <br/> Though you feel you're at the end<br/> And your strength is running out<br/> Don't give up on yourself<br/> Tear that mountain down<br/> <br/> When all the signs are pointing to failure<br/> Preceding plans have gone awry<br/> Hard to believe you can accomplish<br/> What no one else even dares to try<br/> <br/> You're paralyzed by fear and self doubt<br/> But you don't have to give in to fright<br/> There's only one way to move a mountain<br/> Bit by bit, one block at a time<br/> <br/> When you feel you're at the end<br/> And your strength is running out<br/> You must find the will to believe<br/> You can tear that mountain down<br/> <br/> Take but one step at a time<br/> You'll make up lost ground<br/> Don't give up on yourself<br/> Tear that mountain down

It's so easy to complain<br/> About every little thing<br/> The traffic was hell today<br/> And now you have to work late<br/> <br/> Thoughts of the world outside<br/> Never enter your mind<br/> While others selflessly pay the price<br/> <br/> When you're whining about<br/> How tough life is<br/> Don't forget who takes the blows<br/> This land that you call home<br/> Is paid for by the blood<br/> The precious blood of heroes<br/> <br/> Conveniently oblivious<br/> To the sacrifices made<br/> The biggest challenge you'll find<br/> Is paying your bills on time<br/> <br/> The skirmish abroad<br/> Is just a blip on TV<br/> Getting in the way of your reality

Racing and roaring<br/> Engine about to burst<br/> Pushing the throttle to the floor<br/> Running so raged<br/> The screws are coming loose<br/> Yet still we keep begging for more<br/> <br/> Gathered together<br/> Excitement fills the air<br/> Ready to make that metal sound<br/> Louder and faster<br/> We will keep pushing on<br/> Until we bring the whole roof down<br/> <br/> Come on<br/> I want to hear you scream<br/> <br/> Let me see you<br/> Let me feel you<br/> Let me hear your battle cry

There are a million things to do in life<br/> And I'm tempted to try them all<br/> There's a million paths to bitterness<br/> If you go at it like a wrecking ball<br/> <br/> Look around<br/> At all of those I affect<br/> Can I learn to live with<br/> The lingering impact?<br/> <br/> We get one life<br/> And we all must decide<br/> Which master rules the day<br/> Through laughter and tears<br/> I pray that in my later years<br/> I won't regret the choices made<br/> <br/> Conflicting passions pulling me apart<br/> Can't do it all, I must decide<br/> If feelings get hurt along the way<br/> Hope it's enough to apologize

I remember busy mornings<br/> Work, wife and kids in school<br/> It could be so hectic<br/> And yet so wonderful<br/> <br/> So much effort was spent<br/> Going through the motions of life<br/> <br/> Buried in such focus<br/> It's hard to enjoy the ride<br/> All too soon you realize<br/> You'll never get it back<br/> <br/> We were building a castle<br/> On the shore, in the sand<br/> Always knowing that lapping waves<br/> Would never let it stand<br/> <br/> So much effort was spent<br/> Going through the motions of life<br/> <br/> Buried in such focus<br/> It's hard to enjoy the ride<br/> All too soon you realize<br/> You'll never ever never get it back<br/> <br/> I have few regrets<br/> Despite the tears in my eyes<br/> I'll learn to live with it<br/> It's just part of life

Living with heartache and disappointment<br/> Tears at the fabric of a soul<br/> All the best plans quickly laid to waste<br/> By unforeseen things beyond control<br/> <br/> Broken down, cursing, face to the sky<br/> Demanding answers with no reply<br/> <br/> It’s not a matter of who or where or why<br/> only a matter of time<br/> Misfortune comes our way<br/> There are only two choices, quit or try<br/> and you must decide<br/> Outlast the pain and you’ll be<br/> cleansed by fire once again<br/> <br/> Within the dire throws of agonizing loss<br/> It’s hard to believe it will ever end<br/> Struggling to accept this painful new normal<br/> and wishing your old life was back again<br/> <br/> But there’s a strength that’s from inside<br/> An inner voice screams do or die

Fighting and biting<br/> Your teeth buried in my flesh<br/> Creating new wounds<br/> While the old ones are still fresh<br/> <br/> I must have lost my mind<br/> To think that you could ever change<br/> I am to blame for being slow<br/> But now I know you are<br/> <br/> Looking for someone to blame<br/> I'm your dog, just kick away<br/> <br/> Sitting directly<br/> In the path of your tirade<br/> Anxiously waiting<br/> For the next storm to come my way<br/> <br/> I'm supposed to be your friend<br/> But it seems I'm just your punching bag<br/> I've been a fool for way too long<br/> But now I know you are<br/> <br/> Looking for someone to blame<br/> I'm your dog, just kick away<br/> Vent on me and feel no shame<br/> I'm your dog, just kick away
