There was a star danced,
And you were born.
There was a star fallen,
And you were torn.
But once you came to Earth,
Carrying your enormous yoke,
I looked at my past and realized…
Without you, it was all a joke.
It all seemed like it was something,
But without you, it’s much ado about nothing.
It changes me every time I talk to you,
That’s how I know you’re the much ado.
If you were to leave,
I couldn’t even live.
If your love was gone,
I couldn’t even give.
But as long as you’re still here,
Let me tell you something…
Of all the beautiful stars in the sky,
You are by far the most stunning.
They may say I’m not a man,
They may say I’m still a youth.
But I’m a man while I’m around you,
And that’s more than the truth.
The Phantom
Take this weight off my back.
Tell me you're there, somewhere in the black.
This life is dark and cold,
Just a remnant of the days of old.
"All I need is one more day,"
At least that's what I say.
How do I keep lying to my face
When all I have left is this empty space?
This phantom comes back to haunt me,
Continuing to taunt me.
It lets me know that I can't do it on my own,
That I will always be alone.
If I continue to listen to it,
I'll be lost, I fear.
"I've got to do something,"
I think, as I let drop one tear.
Slowly I realize my only hope,
A man with scars stands there on the slope.
As he holds out his hands, battered and bruised,
I begin to sob, for I know he's been used.
He offers me a gift, something I need.
I run to his feet and fall to my knees.
I beg him for mercy, which I don't deserve.
He smiles at me and laughs to calm my wretched nerves.
Finally I rise, no longer feeling ill.
We walk hand in hand to the top of the hill.
There in the valley what I see, I'm amazed;
Countless people were lost, but now they are saved.
The phantom no longer haunts me, save in my memories,
Since that day on the hill I fell to my knees.
The man who took me is there evermore.
He stands strong and victorious, my Beloved Savior.
Tell me you're there, somewhere in the black.
This life is dark and cold,
Just a remnant of the days of old.
"All I need is one more day,"
At least that's what I say.
How do I keep lying to my face
When all I have left is this empty space?
This phantom comes back to haunt me,
Continuing to taunt me.
It lets me know that I can't do it on my own,
That I will always be alone.
If I continue to listen to it,
I'll be lost, I fear.
"I've got to do something,"
I think, as I let drop one tear.
Slowly I realize my only hope,
A man with scars stands there on the slope.
As he holds out his hands, battered and bruised,
I begin to sob, for I know he's been used.
He offers me a gift, something I need.
I run to his feet and fall to my knees.
I beg him for mercy, which I don't deserve.
He smiles at me and laughs to calm my wretched nerves.
Finally I rise, no longer feeling ill.
We walk hand in hand to the top of the hill.
There in the valley what I see, I'm amazed;
Countless people were lost, but now they are saved.
The phantom no longer haunts me, save in my memories,
Since that day on the hill I fell to my knees.
The man who took me is there evermore.
He stands strong and victorious, my Beloved Savior.
The Adventure, Angels and Airwaves
Yes, I understand this band is not a Christian band...but who cares. This song is a perfect description of our need for God to be in this life with us. It talks about death and regrowth and hope, many ideas that Christ himself talked about when presenting his salvation message. Life really is waiting to begin; it is our job to take the first step and invite Jesus on The Adventure with us, and then to share him with others.
[Verse]
I wanna have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know
My dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
You will be fine
[Chorus]
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
[Verse]
Any type of love it will be showed
Like every single tree reach for the sky
If you're gonna fall I'll let you know
That I will pick you up
Like you for I
I felt this thing I can't replace
When everyone was working for this goal
Where all the children left without a trace
Only to come back as pure as gold
To recite this all
[Chorus]
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
[Bridge]
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
[Outro]
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Life's waiting to begin (do this with me)
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Life's waiting to begin
