I wanna drive into the city

it's time to explore

winter's taken a toll

and spring's at my door

I'll park my car and head for the subway

Camera and coffee in hand

nothing to stop me

Just imagination and time to kill

sounds like a good deal

Yeah let's drive to the city

I need pavement and skyscrapers

Fresh faces and a little diversity

Maybe I'll bring a notebook

and write a lovesong

for the one I long to find

then again, that's a waste of time

So I'll just head to the subway

Camera and coffee in hand

ipod playin my favorite band

And I'll try to read the minds of the faces that I pass

Cause there's nothing to stop me

just imagination and time, yeah it'll be a blast

Almost four years now walkin' this path

We've been sortin' through the aftermath

It wasn't long ago

I was just a hopeless soul

23 years of failure took it's toll

Tragedy caused me to question all I know

And I cracked just enough to break

all for love's sake

A broken heart

a new start

You blotted out the years

And now I'm facing all the fears

And we're sorting this out piece by piece

with each step I feel release

Walking away from the past

building something that will last

As I go through each season

every up and down, every twist and turn

I always find a reason

and there's always a lesson to learn

There's purpose to everything that You do

And I am learning what it truly means

to go from glory to glory with You

And with these experiences my faith grows too

Letting go of all reasoning and perception

Truly giving my life over to You.

Call me a renegade or a rebel

it wouldn't be the first

and probably not the last

Sorry I haven't jumped on the bandwagon

Yeah, maybe I'm just an outcast

Oh excuse me for turning over your temple tables

they looked so pretty and neat

I bet you spent a lot time

hiding what's underneath

I've grown tired of the whole facade

It's making me sick

The way you all strut and parade

With your rags of religion

so filthy they are

But you're so blind

You think you shine like a star

Maybe if you'd climb off that high horse you could see

This isn't the way Jesus wanted it to be

Stuck in a cocoon

enclosed with no breathing room

I can't fly-I just want to fly

slowly watching my spirit die

living this life that isn't mine

You can't say I didn't give it time

I gave it my all- I gave it my best

I'm just not like the rest

I've realized that who I am is not a part of this place

and I believe in traveling grace
