Creed Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.One

Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand,be my brother
The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat
Sliding further into regression

One,oh one
The only way is one
One,oh one
The only way is one

I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world, ya
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind, no

Society blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall, but in the end
We'll meet our fate together
One,oh one
The only way is one
One,oh one
The only way is one

I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world, ya
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind,no

I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world, ya
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind,no

I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world, ya
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind,no

I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world, ya
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind


2.Torn

Peace is what they tell me
Love am I unholy
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reason for
my intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
the only one who
Would carry on this far

Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own misery
Stole all that you gave me
Control you claim you save me

The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reason for
my intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
the only one who
Would carry on this far

Peace in my head
Love in my head
Lies lies lies lies in my head

And peace is dead and my
soul I have blame reasons for my intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
would carry on this far

The peace is dead and my
soul I have blame reasons for my intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
would carry on this far


3.With Arms Wide Open

It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
wide open
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
If I had just one wish


4.Higher

Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
So let's go there
So let's go there
Come on, let's go there
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Said Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
Said Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Said Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
Can you take me higher?
So let's go there
Can you take me higher?
Can you take me higher?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
So let's go there
Although I would like our world to change
So let's go there
Can you take me higher?


5.What's This Life For

If there's any way, because the answer lies in you
Their laid to rest, before they know just what to do
I see your soul it's kind of gray
I see your heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live under the reign of one king
one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live under the reign of one king
one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live under the reign of one king
But they ain't here anymore
But they ain't here anymore
I see your soul it's kind of gray
I see your soul it's kind of gray
But they ain't here anymore
But they ain't here anymore
But they ain't here anymore


6.my own prison

a court is in session, a verdict is in
no appeal on the docket today
just my own sin
the walls are cold and pale
the cage made of steel
screams fill the room
alone i drop and kneel
silence now the sound
my breath the only motion around
demons cluttering around
my face showing no emotion
shackled by my sentence
expecting no return
here there is no penance
so i held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
which only fuels their selfish pride
we're all held captive
out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
i hear a thunder in the distance
see a vision of a cross
i feel the pain that was given
on that sad day of loss
a lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key
shouldve been dead
on a sunday morning
banging my head
no time for mourning
shouldve been dead
on a sunday morning
banging my head
no time for mourning
so i held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
which only fuels their selfish pride
we're all held captive
out from the sun
a sun that shines only some
i cry out to god seeking only his decision
gabriel stands and confirms
i cry out to god seeking only his decision
gabriel stands and confirms
so i held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
which only fuels their selfish pride
we're all held captive
out from the sun
a sun that shines only some
so i held my head up high
so i held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
which only fuels their selfish pride
we're all held captive
out from the sun
a sun that shines only some
shouldve been dead
on a sunday morning
banging my head
no time for mourning
aint got no time
shouldve been dead
shouldve been dead
so i held my head up high


i cry out to god seeking only his decision
so i held my head up high
so i held my head up high

i hear a thunder in the distance
i cry out to god seeking only his decision
so i held my head up high
shouldve been dead


7.my sacrifice

Hello my friend
We meet again
It's been a while
Where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart
Are memories
Of perfect love that
You gave to me
Oh, I remember

When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice

We've seen our share
Of ups and downs
Oh, how quickly life
Can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and
Within your mind
Let's find peace there

'Cause when you are
With me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice

I just want to
Say hello again
I just want to
Say hello again

When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes

'Cause when you are
With me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice
My sacrifice

(I just want to
Say hello again)
I just want to
Say hello again

My sacrifice


8.Are You Ready

Hey, Mr. Seeker hold on to this advice
If you keep seeking you will find
Don't want to follow
Down roads been walked before
It's so hard to find unopened doors

Are you ready? Are you ready?
For whats to come...Oh I said Are you ready?
Are you Ready?...For whats to come

Hey, Mr. Hero Walking a thin, fine line
Under the microscope of life
Remember your roots, my friend
They're right down below
'Cause heroes come and heroes go

Are you ready? Are you ready?
For whats to come...Oh I said Are you ready?
Are you Ready?...For whats to come

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Count down to the change in life that's soon to come

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Count down to the change in life that's soon to come

Your life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Are you ready? Are you ready?
For whats to come...Oh I said Are you ready?
Are you Ready?...For whats to come
Oh I said Are you ready?
Are you ready? For whats to come
Your life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun

9.What If

I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
Lost sense of time and all seasons
Feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?

What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?

What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question
A lonely simple question
I'll just ask one question
What if? What if?
What if? What if?

What if? What if?
What if? What if?

What if? What if?
What if? What if?

What if? What if?
What if? What if?

What if you did?
What if you lied?

What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?

What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?

I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind


10.Bullets

Walking around I hear the sounds
The earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
All these thorns in my side
All these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot cause they want it
I think they shoot cause they want it

I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Look at me... look at me
Look at me... look at me
Look at me
When you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
Jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud 'cause my life
Look at me...look at me
Look at me
When you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
In my lifetime when I'm disgraced

Hey all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why...why do we live this life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away 'cause I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away yes I'll go

Look at me...look at me
At least look at me
when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Look at me...look at me
At least look at me
when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head


END

Look at me...look at me
Look at me... look at me
In my lifetime when I'm disgraced


11.One Last Breath

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in his grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's somthing left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe

12.Weathered

I lie awake on a long, dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No,maybe I can't accept the life that's mine

Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading live with indifference
Yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

'Cause me..I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
No, it just won't heal

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up
It just won't heal
'Cause me..I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal

The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Because one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
So I choose to fight
To fight

'Cause Me...I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't
Covered with skin that peels


END

It just won't heal


13.Don't Stop Dancing

At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light
A silver lining sometimes isn't enough
To make some wrongs seem right
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
But I know I must go on
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Children don't stop dancing
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away

At times life's unfair and you know it's plain to see
Hey God I know I'm just a dot in this world
Have you forgot about me?
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
Am I hiding in the shadows?
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Children don't stop dancing
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away

Am I hiding in the shadows?
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows
Although I hurt I must be strong
Children don't stop dancing

Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away
Believe you can fly
Away...away

Am I hiding in the shadows?
Are we hiding in the shadows?


END
Am I hiding in the shadows?
But I know I must go on
Children don't stop dancing
