For Your Sake
Doug Buche, copr 2012
1st Verse:
I was born below heaven. You wanted me to know, that
I would have to be humble, but did it have to be this low?
To be a creature on a planet where it takes such pain to grow.
And I wonder, could this have been a mistake.
2nd Verse:
All that time in the desert, I went to pray and think.
Starving for knowledge. Thirsting for faith.
And now the cup you give me. Has such a bitter drink.
But I will take it, take it, for your sake.
Chorus:
It's a cold lonely journey I take.
On a path that I follow for your sake.
There are so few faces that can see.
So few hearts than can feel.
So many minds drifting in the clouds,
and they cant tell what is real.
3rd Verse and Bridge:
I was a man on a mission. You gave me such zeal.
I could do miracles. I had the power to heal,
You loved those people so much that you gave them free will.
So they can choose to love, but they choose to kill.
Chorus:
It's a cold lonely journey I take.
On a path that I follow for your sake.
There are so few faces that can see.
So few hearts than can feel.
So many minds drifting in the clouds,
and they cant tell what is real.
4th Verse:
I can sense my end here is near.
My destiny is closer, its becoming clear.
I will have to let them do to me, what they do to their kind.(with sound of pounding hammer on wood in the background)
And I will forgive them. for they're out of their mind.
Yes I will forgive them, for they're out of their mind.
Chorus to ending:
Its a cold lonely journey I take.
On a path that I follow for your sake.
There are so few faces that can see . . . to end.
