Give up the Ghost [Alt.Rock / Hard Rock / Christian]
Are you ready?
I'm a rose that's been raised by wolves My thorns are getting stuck in everything I know It's so hard when you would bleed for the truth you know But we don't want the truth, we just want control
I'm on my own Here we go
C'mon man, put it on me If you want it 'Cause I'm sick and tired of all of this Flaunt it, if you want it And you can own it But I'm just going to let it go
I've seen the devil and I've met fear I met them both on the road that lead me here I've met god and I saw life And he saved mine a million times I've met trouble and I've met rain Laughed with joy and cried with pain But now I see and I believe That the ghosts that haunt me have been outhaunted
I'm a long way from way back home Been travelling like a bullet everywhere I go It gets harder to reach when you're in control 'Cause you've either got the money or it's got your soul
I'm on my own Here we go
C'mon man, put it on me If you want it 'Cause I'm sick and tired of all of this Flaunt it, if you want it And you can own it But I'm just going to let it go
I've seen the devil and I've met fear I met them both on the road that lead me here I've met god and I saw life And he saved mine a million times I've met trouble and I've met rain Laughed with joy and cried with pain But now I see and I believe That the ghosts that haunt me have been outhaunted
They never told me that I could be Free from the hate that's inside of me They took my place, took my dignity They kept me caged like an enemy But I know now I can be Free from the pain that's inside of me You took my place, give me air to breathe Opened the cage and you set me free
I've seen the devil and I've met fear I met them both on the road that lead me here I've met god and I saw life And he saved mine a million times I've met trouble and I've met rain Laughed with joy and cried with pain But now I see and I believe That the ghosts that haunt me have been outhaunted
