lyrics

Lyrics:
Yeah,
can you see the light?
Yeah,
I can see the light..

Can you imagine,
a life without sadness?
Maybe we're obsolete
is there a point to you or me?
Can you imagine, a life without sadness?

Saved from hell sometime in 1995
With me knees creating craters beside my bedside

My fingers intertwined like I was gripping a lifeline

20 years later I'm still searching to clear my mind
Assured that some words could swerve me from obscure
Punishment, running sprints as life passes in a blur
Been deterred and referred, seduced and insured
People will force their beliefs down your throats and believe their ways pure
If there was a pill that you could take to make your way to heavens porch

They'd probably prescribe another kind and claim it's fate's the same course

We're addicted to the idea that were good enough in our core
All we need is a little more time to heal all of our sores
But we are rotten to the bottom and there isn't any cure
If the world was empty of all evil there wouldn't be a person on the earth
For righteousness I will scour I will seek it I will search
Live every night like when I saw the light in 1995.

maybe we're obsolete
is there a point to you or me?
can you imagine..
a life without sadness?

can you imagine
like john lennon in '71?
I can only imagine
me and my imagination as one,
Mercy Me if i see without the rays of the sun
surely love is the antidote for the evil that has constantly won
is this sadness that has been ripping our hearts down to shreds
just forbearance for the conversion that lies just a head?
she took her head in her hands with a bruise on her eyes
and said if I'm already dead then what is this life
he took a knife from his pocket holding a broken heart locket
and said all parts of my existence are puzzle piece problems
and he wrote on his wrist the only way he knew how to solve them
a list of reasons why the pain was more than a strain he was caught in
and we're all dealing with this hurt, nobody's exempt
why go through hell if there's no heaven, why even exist?
If God is just a facade in the midst of this existence
Then sadness is hopeless there's no other way to spin it.
but he isn't.


Jesus, they probably already skipped this song
Jesus, they might not even have clicked at all
Jesus, why do I ignore you when I fall
Jesus, my life is just an empty vault
Jesus, no combination can open what I lost
Jesus, my worth was lost in my faults
Jesus, I don't know if they know you or pretend to
the worst part of it all is that I pretend too
Jesus, why can't we all see it
Jesus, how can I help them believe in
Jesus, I can see the despair in their eyes
like a window to the soul they cant hide behind
but you offer a hope that I cannot deny
without you there's no life we're just empty inside
I imagined a life with sadness that vanished
and saw joy dry up like water in a famine
you're the only hope for them and youre the only hope for me
the only worth to our sadness is when it's being redeemed
said you're the only hope for them and you're the only hope for me
only you can make it known that we are not obsolete

I am not obsolete
and sadness has no hold on me!
I am not obsolete!
i am being redeemed!
