LYRICS:
Oh child when you are weary
Weary deep down in your soul
Hear my voice
Rolling like a river
I will never leave you alone
Ain’t no chain can hold you down
Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain’t it time to bury them bones?
Ain’t no chain can hold you down
Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain’t it time to bury them bones?
Oh child when you’re in darkness
Them devil’s circling around
Don’t you go thinking it’s hopeless
Takes some getting lost to be found
Ain’t no chain can hold you down
Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain’t it time to bury them bones?
Ain’t no chain can hold you down
Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday done came and gone
Ain’t it time to bury them bones?
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water

LYRICS:
VERSE
Look behind the wall
Catch it creeping behind you
The force that runs it all
Chaos, mercy and good truth
I never wanted to wait
Searching, hoping for something
A simple twist of fate
Yearning, hanging on a string
CHORUS
Why do I always do this to myself to myself?
Wait till we're running out of time
Why do I always do this to myself to myself?
Wait till we're running out of time
VERSE
Walking on the ledge
Balanced, tilting, correcting
Looking off the edge
Miles downward, expecting
I look inside of the dark
Founded blacker than the night
I looked inside of my heart
Bound it, locked in the good light
BRIDGE
Help me now, help me now
I’m running out of time

“Feel That Fire” Lyrics
Oh you think
You’ve seen it all
I’ll make the call
Oh no you ain't seen nothing yet
Look what you get
Oh here i come
Yea my mind’s
Made up and I
I’m gonna fly
Higher than anyone before
Open the door
Yea here i come
Oh nothing gonna stop me now
No nothing gonna stop me now
If you want what i got come and meet me at the top
Can you feel that fire
Burning inside ya
Can you feel that fire
Can you feel that fire
We’ll keep on going higher
We’ll keep on going higher
can you feel that fire
can you feel that fire
I’m back
Showing that swag
Camera will flash
I’m in the center of the game
Listen up close
Remember my name
Oh Let’s go
I’m on a roll
I’m in that flow
And I ain’t never slowing down
Not holding back
I’m ready for now
