[00:14.81]You were a friend to me
[00:17.08]When my wheels were off the track
[00:19.52]And though you say there is no need
[00:22.10]But I intend to pay you back
[00:24.83]When my mind was turning loose
[00:26.62]And all my thoughts were turning black
[00:29.17]You shined a light on me
[00:31.70]And I intend to pay you back
[00:35.40]But I still wake up
[00:38.01]Shaken by dreams
[00:40.02]And I hate to say it
[00:42.42]But the way it seems
[00:44.81]Is that no one is fine
[00:50.79]Take the time to peel a few layers
[00:55.06]And you will find
[01:00.26]True sadness
[01:06.84]
[01:15.24]When I was a child
[01:16.92]I depended on a bottle
[01:19.67]Full-grown I’ve been known
[01:22.61]To lean on a bottle
[01:24.72]But you’re the real deal
[01:26.64]In a world of imposters
[01:29.74]And I’ve seen the program
[01:32.22]Make men out of monsters
[01:36.16]’Cause I still wake up
[01:38.69]Shaken by dreams
[01:41.23]And I hate to say it
[01:43.26]But the way it seems
[01:45.45]Is that no one is fine
[01:51.60]Take the time
[01:53.83]To peel a few layers
[01:55.66]And you will find
[02:01.18]True sadness
[02:08.12]
[02:15.86]Angela became a target
[02:20.96]As soon as her beauty was seen
[02:26.20]By young men who try to reduce her down
[02:30.48]To a scene on an X-rated screen
[02:35.63]Is she not more than the curve of her hips?
[02:40.61]Is she not more than the shine on her lips?
[02:45.47]Does she not dream to sing
[02:48.66]And to live
[02:50.12]And to dance down her own path
[02:55.40]Without being torn apart?
[03:00.05]Does she not have a heart?
[03:06.62]I cannot go on
[03:08.68]With this evil inside me
[03:11.81]I step out my front door
[03:13.77]And I feel it surround me
[03:16.69]Just know the kingdom of God is within you
[03:21.59]Even though the battle
[03:23.77]Is bound to continue
[03:27.50]’Cause I still wake up
[03:29.93]Shaken by dreams
[03:32.42]And I hate to say it
[03:34.62]But the way it seems
[03:37.18]Is that no one is fine
[03:42.70]Take the time
[03:44.66]To peel a few layers
[03:47.16]And you will find
[03:49.66]True sadness
[03:55.06]True sadness
[03:59.78]True true sadness
