He set up a man of straw with an authoritarian aura And everybody thinks he's some kind of warrior for the Lord Stepping on some toes that he does not know And calling down fire on what he don't understand Straw men, straw men Set them up for a fall when...

Down peppers the rain from a clear blue sky 
Down trickles a tear on a youthful face 
Feeling in haste and wondering why 
Up struggles the sun from a wounded night
 Out venture our hearts from their silent shrouds
 Trying to ignite but wondering how We...

It's a funny world we live in It's funny every day Half the world prays like the preacher The other half don't even pray So no one understands you If you pray in your own way Now I'm stuck here in the middle Everything is in a jam Stuck right in the m...

It might be morning Just getting light He could be coming In the middle of the night It might be August It could be June Though years may pass He could be coming very soon I'm gonna watch and hope And pray every day For Jesus to come again And take...

Axes stroke in unison We make the big trees fall Chains make our ankles bleed Sweat make us strong Sun beats down on steel and wood Under watchful sights of guns In the shadows we clear this land To pay for what we've done Talk to me Talk to me Talk...

I paint a self-portrait poorly 
But I'll sell it to you pretty cheap 
I'll gather up all my tears and pour them at your feet 
If camaraderie melts like a crayon 
Then indifference spreads like a rash 
One minute and all your dreams
 Can turn themselves t...

Twenty years on and he still thinks He'll make a dent on the shrinking world But the pent-up way it works still stinks The spinning of wheels has been enough To keep him occupied, keep him tough But there's no momentum, just the gravel and the spinning...

Everybody's living in the brave new earth Prisoners of the small worlds that orbit in our skulls Native sons of a no-man's land Friends and lovers in the cold, cold ground Every now and then I seem to dream these dreams Where the mute ones speak and the...

They say this is the Golden Age Video millennium Tidings from the self-made media sage Tickings of the bio-bomb Jet-set etiquette consciousness Monosyllabic goodbyes No one cares about no one else We're so used to the capital "I" The Golden Age (Elec...

This could be the last time I awake This could be the last breath that I take This could be the last time that I pray This could be the day I fly away This could be the last time I sing a song This could be the day I say so long This could be the last me...

As this planet falls around the sun Trapping us in the orbit Creation groans in unison Like a race of frightened orphans The darkness of this raging storm Is covering up our portals But a yearning for the light is bourne In the heart of every mortal...

The power of love Can make a blind man see Can bring a man to his knees The power of love Can make a sultan grieve Can make a skeptic believe The power of love is south of south And scorches out all the doubt The power of love is the name of names An...

When you get off your knees for the first time And you know that you've been talking to the Lord You can see how His love far exceeds any other you've known It's not some mirage He's created Or some far-fetched imaginary high It's Jesus within - expressly...

Sheep come to the Shepherd when He calls their names And they follow wherever He leads Gentle is His voice as He calms and tames And He sees that they get all they need Rocky are the footpaths that He leads them on High are the mountains, low the plains...

I wish that the ways of men Were the same as the ways of God, How is it so our thick little hearts Leave the narrow path for the broad, Leave the narrow path for the broad? We could fly on the wings of eagles, We could see with the eyes of love, We cou...

It takes more than a good intention It takes more than a cursory line It takes more than mortal vigor To withstand the winds of time (To withstand the winds of time) To withstand the winds of time Yeah, yeah It takes more than an eager heart beating It takes...

These plastic halos They seem so out of place Behind the mask lurks a scarred and fragile face We lie so spiritually Familiar smiles displayed Misleading masquerade We hide our pain, we try to laugh Fools to think our tears Would provoke holy wrath...
