Wrecking Ball

Hollow wood and stone
And empty canvas all his own
Gentle hands, and worn
From this masterpiece was born
But I need a hammer to repair these walls
Or even better: a wrecking ball
To sand it down, make it smooth
He placed his hands under the wood
And he carves it out with skill
And fashions life to suit his will
But I need a hammer to repair these walls
Or even better: a wrecking ball
I need this now
More than anything
But I need your tools to repair these walls
You could be my hammer, a wrecking ball

What I've Done

Is there a place for my kind?
Close enough to hide
All these lines that I've crossed
An all these lives I've lost
All of your wickedness will be burned up in the Son
You shouldn't speak those words, you have no idea what I've done, what I've done
So I'll now take my place
With all the others damned
Now relieved of all love
It fits me like a glove
All of your wretchedness will burn up under the Son
How can you speak those words when you know now what I've done, what I've done?
Maybe once, I could stay
Would you look the other way?
Would you raise me from the dead?
Or have I been so bad?
All of your diligence will not help you when I come
Help me embrace these words: it don't matter what I've done, what I've done
All of your innocence will unite us when I come
And there is redemption here when you taste now what I've done, What I've done

Youth

So much...so much is made of youth
But in death we are met with a fountain of truth
We build up our dreams to the edges of time
Never dreaming that our time has an end of the line
And faced with dying we strain to look further
Past these boundaries to find a maker
Truth has no victim
It shares it's motives freely
Who will speak to my children?
My love is gonna teach them of You
We have broken every promise we ever tried to make
Devastated by deceptions we were all to quick to take
We grow weary of the bickering voices within
Ever changing like the shadows are the hearts of men
As the love of many grows cold and lifeless
Who if any was made in your likeness?
Two curves have formed at the corners of my mouth
Full of vengeance and impatience but my fists are full of doubt
A love divided between wars and havens
Has bruised my face now clean and shaven
And faced with dying we strain to look further
Past these boundaries to find a maker (2x)

For the dear old Flag I die,
Said the wounded drummer boy;
Mother, press your lips to mine;
O, they bring me peace and joy!
'Tis the last time on earth
I shall ever see your face
Mother take me to your heart,
Let me die in your embrace.
For the dear old Flag I die,
Mother, dry your weeping eye;
For the honor of our land
And the dear old Flag I die.
Do not mourn, my mother, dear,
Every pang will soon be o'er;
For I hear the angel band
Calling from their starry shore;
Now I see their banners wave
In the light of perfect day,
though 'tis hard to part with you,
Yet I would not wish to stay.
For the dear old Flag I die,
Mother, dry your weeping eye;
For the honor of our land
And the dear old Flag I die.
Farewell mother, Death's cold hand
Weighs upon my spirit now,
And I feel his blighting breath
Fan my pallid cheek and brow.
Closer! closer! to your heart,
Let me feel that you are by,
While my sight is growing dim,
For the dear old Flag I die.
