Abandon Control Lyrics
1.Feel It In Your Heart

There's a sound in the air
Can you hear it everywhere?
Voices trying to be heard.
Love is more than just another word.

Oh, you can turn it up loud
As loud as it will go.
But it will never make its way to your soul.

No no,
Until you feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart, your heart

You gotta
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart

All the world is listening
For a sound that is different
Clear the static
Cut the noise
Heaven help us to find our voice

Oh, you can turn it up loud as loud as it will go.
But it will never make its way to your soul.

No no,
Until you feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart, your heart

You gotta
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart

You can say, say all the right things
But in the end what does it all mean?
Yeah, you can say, say all the right things
But in the end what does it mean?

You gotta
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart, your heart

You gotta
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your heart

All the world's listening


2.Help

I wrestle with what to say
Nothing comes out right anyway
You know my tendency to complicate
So I'll shoot straight, I'll keep it simple

Help, help, I need you
Oh oh I need you
Please help
Give me your help
I need you
Oh oh I need you
I need your help

I lay in ruin like a fallen empire
Taken out by my own desires
You saw my pride you knew the end would come
And now I'm going down in flames
With one last word

Help, help, I need you
Oh oh I need you
Please help
Give me your help
I need you
Oh oh I need you

I need your help, I need your help
Oh I need you, oh I need you
I need your help, I need your help
Oh I need you, oh I need you
I need your help, I need your help
Oh I need you, oh I need you

Give me your help
Give me your help
I need you, oh oh I need you
Give me your help
Give me your help
I need you, oh oh I need you


3.Live It Out

Is it just me or the walls closing in?
I can't be the only one feeling this
So let's tear down brick by brick
Cause it's not helping anyone
And let's get out from under this
Or we'll watch it fall on us all

Can you feel the urgency now
It's time for us to love out loud
Take what we know and live it out and live it out

So am I part of the cure or part of the disease
I think it's time we fall down on our knees
And ask God for clarity
To wash away our memories of the old way
Yeah, and pray that the walls break

Can you feel the urgency now
It's time for us to love out loud
Take what we know and live it out and live it out
This could be the start of a new day
We could be the change
If we take this love and live it out and live it out

We are lost and broken people
Turned our crosses into steeples
Lets take them down and put them on our backs now
Keep your love on track now
Cause this is an emergency
Yeah this is an emergency

Can you feel the urgency now
It's time for us to love out loud
Take what we know and live it out and live it out
This could be the start of a new day
We could be the change
If we take this love and live it out and live it out


4.S.O.S.

S-O-S my lights on lights on
S-O-S my lights on lights on

My doubt is the reason
I turned my eyes and now I'm sinking down
Deep under the water
I'm seeing ghosts like shadows dancing around
Is this you reaching through?

S-O-S my lights on and I need you now
The water's rising up and I'm going down
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

It's never gonna be over
This battle that is raging in my mind
There's always another torment
Waiting just beyond the tide
But you're here and I can see you reaching

S-O-S my lights on and I need you now
The water's rising up and I'm going down
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

Here's my signal
So you can see that I'm in need
My distress call
Is SOS and now you've found me

S-O-S my lights on, lights on
S-O-S my lights on, lights on
And now you found me

S-O-S my lights on and I need you now
The water's rising up and I'm going down
Whoa whoa whoa
S-O-S my lights on and I need you now
The water's rising up and I'm going down
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa


5.Your Love Goes On

I'm like everyone living in a quick fix nation
Chasing this American dream (oh, oh)
I'm way too busy always looking for the next fixation
But nothing ever seems to satisfy me (no,no)

Cause I'm still lost and empty
And I'm still numb I can't see

That you're desperate, you're desperate to be near me
And you've been here, you've been here all along
Still I push you away but you stay
Because your love goes on, your love goes on

And you would follow me a million miles
And a million times you saved my life
Cause you're desperate, you're desperate to show me
That your love goes on, your love goes on

I remember when there was nothing between us
And I believed with all I had, yeah
You held my hand when I was lost
You showed me love at any cost

Cause you're desperate, you're desperate to be near me
And you've been here, you've been here all along
Still I push you away but you stay
Because your love goes on, your love goes on

And you would follow me a million miles
And a million times you saved my life
Cause you're desperate, you're desperate to show me
That your love goes on, your love goes on

Oh your love goes on
God help me right what I got wrong

Cause I'm desperate, I'm desperate to be near you
And you've been here, you've been here all along
Everyday you're the same because your love goes on, your love
goes on

And you would follow me a million miles
And a million times you saved my life
Cause you're desperate, you're desperate to show me
That your love goes on, your love goes on


6.Let Go

You could count the times that everybody's hurt you
And build a wall so nobody can get through
But nothing's gonna change if you keep doing the same things
You could shoulder all the weight and try to do it on your own

Or you could let go of all these things you hold
You could let go and watch your life unfold
You're part of a grand design
Bigger than what you had in mind
But you'll never know, you'll never know
Until you let it go

So take a step back widen out the picture
And see the world through the eyes of the savior
Cause when we focus on ourselves there is nothing we can give
But when we lose it all we start to live
You got a front row seat but your never gonna see the show

Until you let go of all these things you hold
You gotta let go and watch your life unfold
You're part of a grand design bigger than what you had in mind
But you'll never know, you'll never know
Until you let it go

Gotta let it go
You gotta let it go, oh let it go
Let go, let go, let it go
Let go, let go, let it go
Let go, let go, let it go
Let go, let go, you gotta let go

...of all these things you hold
You gotta let go and watch your life unfold
You gotta let go of all these things you hold
Let go and watch it watch it unfold

You're part of a grand design
Bigger than what you had in mind
But you'll never know, you'll never know
Until you let it go


7.New Years Day

Flashes of light I open my eyes
And feel the spark of a new life
I take a breath for the first time

And you are the reason my heart is beating
You put the color in my world
Yeah, the color in my world

I've never felt so alive, alive
Like a brand new sunrise

Dark has turned to light and I will celebrate
All my wrongs made right
Everything has changed
My sins have been erased
And it feels like New Year's Day
Oh!
It feels like New Year's Day
Oh!

So don't let me forget everything that you've done
Even though it's in my nature
I never want to become a creature of habit, no

Cause life's gonna get its hands on me
I know troubles gonna call my name
But you'll be standing there trying to remind me

Dark has turned to light and I will celebrate
All my wrongs made right
Everything has changed
My sins have been erased
And it feels like New Year's Day
Oh!
It feels like New Year's Day
Oh!

Oh it's a New Year, oh it's a New Year's Day
Oh it's a New Year, oh it's a New Year, it's a New Year,
Oh it's a New Year's Day

Dark has turned to light and I will celebrate
All my wrongs made right
Everything has changed
My sins have been erased
Yeah, everything has changed
My sins have been erased
And it feels like New Year's Day
Oh!
It feels like New Year's Day
Oh!
It feels like New Year's Day
Oh!
It feels like New Year's Day
Oh!


8.Talk To Me

Abandon - Talk to Me

I feel stuck and I need to know
Oh tell me what the future holds
I want the answers so
Show me, show me what's going on
I can't stand sitting around
I gotta move and I gotta move now
How much longer do I have to wait
Right here

Still trying to figure it out
My head keeps spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't know which way to go
Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
So I'm asking please
Talk to me!

Will I find you when the wheels stop turning
And my road meets a dead end
It's clear that I am lost
And I turn to you for direction
You show me that I've been wasting
Been chasing, misplacing
My faith in answers that only cloud my mind
Oh but I'm

Still trying to figure it out
Dizzy from spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't know which way to go
Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
So I'm asking please

If I don't know where to go you are the one that will know
I'm losing control but it's alright, it's alright
It's like we've been here before and I'm still learning for sure
I can't ignore that it's alright, yeah it's alright

Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Dizzy from spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't know which way to go
Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
I'm still guessing

Still trying to figure it out
My head keeps spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't really know which way to go
Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
So I'm asking please
Talk to me!


9.Push It Away

I pushed myself back I'm backed in a corner
My mind is drowning and I'm going under
I'm sick of all the fear and all the doubt I feel
Here and now I'm letting you take over

Oh I'll push it away I won't let it stay
I can't let this feeling linger
Now I see with new eyes
I won't let the lies keep me down any longer

This is the point where I turn it over
Thought I would get here sooner than later
I'll fall into your hands I'm following your plan
And this is where the book would say it's the end

Oh I'll push it away I won't let it stay
I can't let this feeling linger
Now I see with new eyes
I won't let the lies keep me down any longer

The road is long and I won't quit
You gave me strength just for this
The road is long and I won't quit
Your grace is a banner over it

Oh I'll push it away I won't let it stay
I can't let this feeling linger
Now I see with new eyes
I won't let the lies keep me down any longer

Oh I'll push it away I won't let it stay
I can't let this feeling linger
Now I see with new eyes
I won't let the lies keep me down any longer

Keep me, keep me
Keep me from going crazy


10.Under Fire

They try to trip us up
They try to make us doubt
Make us question what this life's about
Our minds are criminal
They try to steal the soul
This moments pivotal who we choose to follow

We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who you are
And though we haven't seen your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire
But it only burns, burns all doubt away

They tell us we're all fools
That our minds are weak
How can we put our hope in someone we can't see
They come with ridicule
To say that you're a fake
But we are not alone, you endured the same

We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who you are
And though we haven't seen your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire
But it only burns, burns all doubt away

We're chasing what's real
We're chasing what's true
We know it's God
We know it's You
We're chasing what's real
We're chasing what's true
We know it's God
It's got to be You

We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who you are
And though we haven't seen your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire
But it only burns, burns all doubt away
All doubt away
It burns all doubt away
All doubt away
It burns all doubt away


11.Why Does It Take So Long

Abandon - Why Does It Take So Long?

Why does it take so long for me
To know who I want to be
Am I missing something here?
I've been an orphan down and out
And a king with a calloused heart
But who am I supposed to be

I've carried this cross
I've been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be
And why does it take so long
Why does it take so long
To find my way home

Why can't I just let it go
I've been fighting with my own soul
Yeah, it's a fight I'm losing
But something's gonna turn around
I'm on the ropes but don't count me out yet
No don't count me out

I've carried this cross
I've been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be
And why does it take so long
Why does it take so long
To find my way home

Am I looking for a sign
Looking for something written in the sky
To show me how
To get what's in my heart to my head now

Am I looking for a sign
Looking for something written in the sky
To show me how
To get what's in my heart to my head now

I've carried this cross
I've been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be

You carried the cross
For the lost and lonely
You had to walk this world so I could see
That you are where I want to be
Why did it take so long? (You were here all along)
Why did it take so long? (Even when I was wrong)
To find my way home
Why did it take so long? (You were here all along)
Why did it take so long? (Even when I was wrong)
To find my way home


12.Known

Every hurt and shame you carry
All the tears and pain you've buried
Every broken dream and every doubt

All the wounds that left you shattered
Worried that you just don't matter
Every fear that you will be found out

Do not be afraid

Oh let yourself, let yourself be known
You don't need, you don't need to hide
Step into the light
And be known, let yourself be known

There's a love that makes you stronger
There's a hope that makes you bolder
There's a God whose arms are open wide

It's the way he designed us
To show his power in our weakness
Open up and you will find his life

Do not be afraid

Oh let yourself, let yourself be known
You don't need, you don't need to hide
Step into the light
And be known, let yourself be known

There is now no condemnation, oh
There is now no condemnation, oh
There is now no condemnation, oh
There is now no condemnation, oh

Oh let yourself be known

Oh let yourself, let yourself be known
You don't need, you don't need to hide
Step into the light
And be known
It's time to be known
It's time to be known
It's time for you to be known


13.Hero

He walked the dirty streets famous for nothing
He said come follow me and they came
A face like all the rest but something was different
The son of God would lead the way

And soon they all would say

There he goes a hero, a savior to the world
Here he stands with scars in his hands
With love he gave his life so we could be free
The savior of the world

He spoke with clarity and walked across the sea
A single word would calm the storm
His touch could heal the sick
But he was called a hypocrite
But laid behind the stone his death was shortly mourned

He left the curtain torn

There he goes a hero, a savior to the world
Here he stands with scars in his hands
With love he gave his life so we could be free
The savior of the world

He chose to take the cross
Shed tears for the lost the broken and the needy
Forgiving those who were and will be
The angel made it clear he told them have no fear
He's not here, he's not here!

There he goes the hero, the savior to the world
Here he stands with scars in his hands
With love he gave his life so we could be free
The savior of the world
The savior of the world
The savior of the world
