scott stapp - surround me

They say no man?s an island but I tend to disagree
I guess they?ve never seen my island,
And where it lies at sea
I?m lost inside my memory.
I?m still in disbelief.
If I could paint a picture for you this is what you?d see

I?m down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don?t let me run
Surround me?Surround me?now

A wounded man sounds desperate when he?s lost all his belief
Can you look into my eyes and say you won?t betray me
We?re running out of time
How precious time can be
I?m counting all the moments of the times you could have helped me

I?m down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don?t let me run
Surround me?Surround me

I?m down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don?t let me run
Surround me?Surround me

Surround me now
Surround me now.

scott stapp - who i am

Look at me I am the sun
I'll blind your eyes, the only one.
Look at me when night sings blues, I'm the only one, yes I'm your muse.

Look at me, make no mistake, Fashioned with earth.
Molded with clay.
I'll tell you how I face the day, Live life, raise hell, left nothing undone.

Who I am, who am I to you?
You know dammit, I speak the truth to you.
Who I am, who am I to you?
Why can't I be who I am?

Look at me, I'm not like you.
I'm number one, not number two.
Look at me a pride and joy, I came to win.
I came to destroy.

Look at me, look in my eyes
Heart of a lion, I'll fight till I die!
Life's too short to expect less
Even when I fall, I get up swinging

Who I am, who am I to you?
You know, dammit, I speak the truth to you
Who I am, who am I to you?
Why can't I be who I am?

Who I am, who am I to me?
You know dammit, I speak the truth, you see
Who I am, who am I to me?

I just wanna be who I am
Just wanna be who I am
Just wanna be who I am

scott stapp - broken

Why are we overcome with fear?
What if I told you that fear isn?t real.
Why are we overcome with death?
What if I told you my friends your doubt
You could live without!

There is a question I want to understand
Why can?t everyone tell the truth and learn to love again

Do you know?what it feels like to be broken and used
Scared and confused
Yes I know

One more question?I know time is dear
Is what the world speaks of love really real?
The answers not of this world but very clear
Look above to find love and you found eternal life

Street corner preachers you?ve heard before
Friendly advice just gets thrown out the door
There is a question that I want to understand
Why can?t everyone tell the truth?and learn to love again

Do you know?what it feels like to be broken and used?
Scared and confused
Yes I know?what it feels like to be broken and used
Scared and confused
Yes I know

I'm Broken!

scott stapp - only one

You can go, you can leave this town.
Forget about the people and the places,
and the faces that have let you down
You can hide, you can change your name
But the fear will always find you,
if it?s coming from inside you,
so you?ve gotta change

So if it?s the same to you, you could stay with me
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one.

If you leave, tell me where you'd go?
Would you lock yourself inside a place,
so no one had the chance to face you on your own

Cuz when we fall down, we can stay down
But the freedom that we wanna find,
is only found when we?re off the ground.

So if it?s the same to you, you could stay with me.
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you.

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

So if it?s the same to you, you could stay with me
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you.

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

scott stapp - brother of mine

As I wake I see the signs that the world's forever changed
If hell on earth could be imagined, it became truth today
Amidst the flames I watched the brave
Sacrificed so lives could be saved
And tears filled my eyes as I watched the world become a grave

I know why you had to go inside
I looked and saw the world change before my eyes
I lift my voice to you
For all you had to do
You're a brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

As the dust settles the ashes fall before the dawn
Our nation watches as the leaders fulfill the reasons they were born
Amidst the pain and anger
A light beacons through all the clouds
A light that shines on the rugged flag and yes
We're united proud and strong

I know that I'll never understand the loss of life
I know I saw the world change before my eyes
I lift my voice to you
A new hope being true
You're a brother of mine
I know my god is true
He will deliver you
You're a brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

We stand on hollowed ground
Where all my brothers lost and found
We're all about the colors of the country you can't kill
The colors of the country you can't kill
We're all about the colors of the country you can't kill

Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine
Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

I lift my voice to you
For all that we've been through
You're a brother of mine
I know my god is true
He will deliver you
You're a brother of mine
A brother of mine
Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

scott stapp - criminal

I listen alone all night
I listen for what ceilings no way out
No windows to allow a sound or light
To feed my mind, slowly I bury myself alive
Alive

I?m so sorry, so sorry I opened that door
I?m just searching, I am searching for reasons why
I hear knocking, knocking on doors I have closed

The man you're describing has got to be make believe
No you?re not insane, no no yes it was me
Why can?t you see me for what I?ve become not who I used to be
I?m no criminal

Mind blind, stuck in rewind
Look the other way
Big mistakes I made
So why do I keep turning back to see the flames
When ashes still burn in my eyes?
Oh the pain

Said I?m so sorry, so sorry I opened that door
I?m just searching, I am searching for reasons why
I hear knocking, knocking on doors I have closed

The man you're describing has got to be make believe
No you?re not insane, no no yes it was me
Why can?t you see me for what I?ve become not who I used to be
I?m no criminal, no criminal

Caught red-handed, busted
I?m not in chains, I?m not in chains
Why can?t you see me for what I?ve become, not who I used to be
There?s no criminal, no criminal, no criminal left in me

Why is the day so many follow
Narrows the path I soon will swallow
Blinding eyes can?t see my way
Can you help me please

I?m no criminal, no criminal

Caught red-handed, busted
I?m not in chains, I?m not in chains
Why can?t you see me for what I?ve become, not who I used to be
There?s no criminal, no criminal, no criminal left in me

Why, why, why
I?m no criminal
Why, why, why
Cause I?m no, I?m no
No criminal

I listen alone all night
I listen for what ceilings no way out
No windows to allow a sound or light
To feed my mind, slowly I bury myself alive...

scott stapp - fight song

Sometimes it starts with a silent curse
Sometimes it doesn?t waste time
You still think I look upon this with hatred in my mind
I won?t lie
It took some time

But I know one thing!
It took me away from
All the things love gave me!
So I had to let things go!

I can go another round this fight you...

I?m still healing
No I?m not reeling
Yes I?m feeling
This is my fight song

Now I?m left with a scar to reverse.
Yes another burden to fight
I guess I made it this far so I know things will be alright
I won?t lie
I will survive

But I know one thing!
It took me away from
All the things love gave me!
So I had to let things go!

I can go another round this fight you...

I?m still healing
No I?m not reeling
Yes I?m feeling
This is my fight song

It?s so hard to forget
But I must let go...and begin
To live again
And not give in
I figured out
I will land on solid ground
I will land on solid ground
I will go another round

I can go another round this fight you...

I?m still healing
No I?m not reeling
Yes I?m feeling
This is my fight song

I?m still healing
No I?m not reeling
Yes I?m feeling
This is my fight song

This is my fight song!

scott stapp - hard way

So let me tell a story friend ?bout diamond hands & one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice
Just when I thought I had it all caught a sucker punch & lost it all
Just never thought it would come from you
So here I stand alone again with one eye open, I?m a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes but I?m alive

I found out
The hard way
And your day?s coming soon
I found out
The hard way
I pray you make it through

So what am I supposed to do when all I?ve got is God & you?
I guess I?ll trust the one I can?t see
As I sit here on this park bench know?n what you are thinking
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep
So here I stand alone again talking to my faceless friend
At least when we got words they?re eye to eye

I found out
The hard way
And your day?s coming soon
I found out
The hard way
I pray you make it through

I just a simple man!
I just a simple man!
I just a simple man!

I found out
The hard way
And your day?s coming soon
I found out
The hard way
I pray you make it through

scott stapp - justify

I met a man in New Orleans wore a Half Suit with Dark Blue Jeans
Kicked his heals together winked at me real nice.
I Saw Him from a mile away,
But in my state of mind I let him make his play
?Hey boy? have you seen the other side?
Yea?in this man I saw the devils hand so I looked at him man to man said
?This time it?s gonna be a fight!?

I do not have to justify
The way I live my life
I do not have to justify
The reason I?m alive

I saw her from across the room with Diamond she?s heaven?s jewel.
Dropped two aces smiled and threw my cards back.
Yea I?ve been that man
Who lives deceit
Surrounds himself with worldly things

So let me tell a story
Let me feed it to you

We flied around like we were superman live in another trance
a different way to dance with dark romance
you get another chance to do that dirty dance without consequence.

I do not have to justify
The way I live my life
I do not have to justify
The reason I?m alive

Let me change the timber of this section
Add a little booze to ice
I guess you probably noticed
I?ve been living a double life

So fly around like you are superman given another chance
a different way to dance with true romance
you get another chance to tell your dirty, darkest secrets.

We flied around like we were superman live in another trance different way to dance with dark romance you get another chance to do the dirty dance without consequence.

I do not have to justify
The way I live my life
I do not have to justify
The reason I?m alive

No more
It?s just not me
Not me
I?m just like you

scott stapp - let me go

Tell me friend is this forgiving?
Tell me friends are you believing?
Tell me friend if it?s worth the fight?

So please, let me go
SO Please, let me go,
let me go.

What?s the use of our deceiving?
What?s the use so start retreating?
We are lost & all our hope is gone!

So please, let me go
So please, let me go,
So Please, let me go
So Please, let me go
let me go.,

Once a boy, I was forgiven
Now a man I?m lucky living
But always know our memories will live on,
will live on,will live on, will live on,
will live on.

So please, let me go
So please, let me go
So please, let me go
So please, let me go
Let me go!

scott stapp - reach out

Welcome friends, I have nothing to hide
The journey?s end has left a mark inside
I?m sure you?ve heard the rumors, jealousies, & all the lies

I do not fear you
Do you fear me?
Love again

I reach out
Can?t give in
Learned to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can?t give in
Learned to listen to it

No victims, the choices were all mine
Looking within, these scars will heal with time
There?s no excuse for weakness, selfishness, & compromise

I do not fear you
Do you fear me?
Love again
I reach out
Can?t give in
Learned to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can?t give in
Learned to listen to it

I give in
Can we start again?
I finally hear his reason
I wish there was no fall
I?ll never be alone again
Screaming at the walls

I reach out
I reach out
Can?t give in
Learned to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can?t give in
Learned to listen to it

scott stapp - relearn love

On a dark and lonely highway...
I need the SON to raise my head.
I come before you? I am naked...
The man I am now must be shed.
I?ve weathered storms and I am broken.
My beaten heart is in your hands...
What I really need is shelter and a chance

To relearn love...
Teach me all over?all over...
To relearn love...
Show me again...
So I can relearn love...

The Comfort of your arms around me...
Your tender hands caress my head
I lay beside you I m not worthy
This jaded mans not who I am
I?ve touched the flame and I?ve been burned
All I need is a second chance
Give me eyes of a child
And teach this man?to relearn love

Teach me all over?all over
To relearn love?.show me again
To relearn love?teach me all over?all over
To relearn love?show me again
So I can relearn love

I was selfish?but you still loved me
You gave the greatest gift of all and it set me free
When time means nothing and your world is standing still
Listen world he?s calling if you feel me drop and kneel
Can you feel it?
Just remember, oh oh remember...
To relearn love

Relearn my love
Show me, show me
To relearn my love
Teach me now?now
Relearn my love
To relearn, relearn my love

So I can relearn love...

scott stapp - somber

Can you see what lies beneath
Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone
Silence screams I canâ??t ignore
Violent scenes are getting old
Reflection only brings sorrow
Deception tears me to the core
Somber why stay in denial
Iâ??m somber, so somber

Good bye with no sympathy
Oh we both took everything left inside
Iâ??m somber
Good bye with no sympathy
Oh we both took everything left inside
Say goodbye
Somber, Iâ??m somber

In your joy Iâ??m suffering
Iâ??ll be damned a slow suicide
for the life I chose to lead
Silent screams I canâ??t ignore
Violent scenes are getting old

Reflection only brings sorrow
Deception tears me to the core
Somber why stay in denial
Somber

Goodbye with no sympathy
We both took everything left inside
Say goodbye to somber, to somber
Goodbye with no sympathy in me
We both took everything left inside
Say goodbye to somber, to somber

Say goodbye

So somber, somber now
Silent screams I canâ??t ignore
Violent scenes are getting old

Goodbye with no sympathy in me
We both took everything left inside of you and me
We both took everything
Iâ??m somber, Iâ??m somber
Why stay in denial
Iâ??m somber

scott stapp - the great divide

I have run to the ocean
Through the horizon, chased the sun
I've waited for the light to come
And at times I would give up
You have wrapped your loving arms round me
And with your love I'll overcome
You have clothed me when I was weak
You have given unselfishly
Kept me from falling, falling
Everywhere but my knees

You set me free
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free

I've been on heaven's doorstep
With the door open, one foot inside
I've cried out "God, give me answers"
"Please hush child, I'll tell you why
You have loved Me when you were weak
You have given unselfishly
Kept you from falling, falling
Everywhere but your knees"

You set me free
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free
You set me free

Ooh our love is beautiful
Ooh ooh isn't this beautiful?
Child it seems that you have been my everything
Our love is beautiful
Stood by my side while we survive the great divide
Isn't this beautiful?

You set me free
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free
You set me free
You set me free
