1. CITY ON FIRE

One Night I Saw The Sky Was Red
Red As Blood... City On Fire

At First I Thought Can't See No Smoke
But Still It Burns, Strange... City On Fire

And As I Stood There The Fire Grew
More And More, Faster... City On Fire

I Felt The Heat It Reached My Soul
'Cause I Was Cold, My Heart Was Melting

City On Fire...

This Fire's Not A Normal Fire It's A Holy Fire
And When It Passes By It Sets You On Fire
When It Comes To You, You Will Burn
Like You've Never Have
Yes, You Will Be On Fire By The Flames, The Flames

City On Fire...

Reach Out Your Hand And Touch It Now
Just One More Step For You To Go
This Fire Started At His Cross
His Spirit Will Burn Inside Of Us

Set Me On Fire...


2. RISEN

When I Was A Little Boy
I Had My Special Place To Get My Icecream
And The Lady At The Candystore
Was Always So Nice To Me
When I Was Old Enough For School
I Remembered They Picked On Me
Because I Had Red Hair And Freckles On My Face
Am
And I Always Was Wondering
What Was Behind The Clouds
And If God Had A House To Live In
In Cold Winter Nights

He's No Longer In His Grave
He's Risen From The Dead

And When I Was Thirteen
I Started To Play In Different Bands
We Tried To Be The Beatles
And I Didn't Do So Hot In School
I Didn't Care And Too Much About Anything
I Started To Use Drugs
The Devil He Worked Hard On Me
But One Day There Was Jesus Knocking On My Door
Asking Do You Want To Be A Singer In My Band

He's No Longer...


3. THE WAITING ZONE

In The School Of This Present Day
Kids're Informed To Look Out For Aids
But No One Says Not A Single Word
'Bout A Change Of Lifestyles And Ways

Listen Prophets Of This Modern Day
Maybe Sometime You Could Be Wrong
'Cause What You Preach
Someone Else Must Reap
This Generation Next To Come

Learn Protection Break Out Of Line
Save The Action For The Holy Time
Called Old Fashioned
But It's More Like Timeless Information
But We Can't Just Educate All Things Away

Staying Away Save Your Life All The Way
It's Not True You Will Not Be Alone
Dare To Say No Peer Pressure Must Go
Stay Alive In The I'm Waiting Zone


4. UMBRELLA

Try so hard 'cause you really want
Do your best to be nice and good
But it looks like you always end up
Doing what you don't wanna do

Something inside makes you do bad
And it steals from you when you're glad
Even if you make up your mind
To be better you'll fail next time

Don't you know it's already done
Don't you know there's an open door
Don't you know that you can't do more
All you need is to just accept the fact
That it's all done

Thru religion you'll always fail
Light a candle won't make a change
A thousand prayers will not give you rest
Makes no difference if you do your best
Every way that we try to make
God to love us is a mistake
'cause he likes us all he can do
All he's asking for is for you

Don't you know it's already done
Don't you know there's an open door
Don't you know that you can't do more
All you need is to just accept the fact
That it's all done

Live under the shadow
Live under the shadow of his grace
Under his umbrella
Under his umbrella night and day


5. BE THERE WITH YOU

Preparation That's Why The Separation
That's Why You've Been Away From Me
I Just Cannot Forget You
My Heart Is Marked By You
The Last Thing That You Said
You'll Be There With Me

Friends Stick Together And That's Forever
That's Why I Want To Be There With You
I Want To Be There With You
Just Want To Be There With You All Of My Life

Tell Me, Are The Grass Much Greener There
Is There A Garden Too
What Kind Of House Have You Prepared
Do We Live Close To the Ocean
Is There A Place Where We Can Sit
And Talk Like Best Friends Do

Friends Stick Together And That's Forever
That's Why I Wanna Be There With You


6. ON THE ROAD

Ditches, Ditches All Around
Keep Your Feet On The Road
If You wanna Be Sound
Fall In One, Say Goodbye
Religion Leaves You There To Die

I'm On The Road...

Need To See Some Truth In Us
Not Perfection But We Must Present
A God With Much To Say
Not Building Churches, To Hide And Pray
Be In The World But Not It's Slave
They Look Close, How You Behave
Don't Fake The Picture Of The King
We Gotta Be Real, Means Everything

I'm On The Road...

Say You're Here, Say, All You Want Is
Stay Right Here, Walk On The Road

Go To God If You Want The Original
The Devil Is A Copy-Machine
After In Art And After In Music
Religious Thinking Look Real Stupid
Its In Our Minds When We Create
Why Do We Have To Be Late?
Ask From God His Inspiration
Check My Words He's A Sensation

I'm On The Road...

Say You're Here...


7. LIKES THEM

A Young Generation Living For Sensation
Trying To Be Cool But Inside They Have A Hole
Sick And Tired Of Pretending Don't Even Care
If The World Is Ending
A Wounded Generation Betrayed By The One Before

Living For The Moment

Lost In The Marketplace Of All Religions
told to Pick And Choose
What's Suits And Feels The Best
Given All The Substitutess
But No Love And Compassion
Left In A Video World Given Over To Imagination

But I Like Them, I Like Them

A Lonely Generation With No One To Talk To
Raised To Be Suspicious Against Love
Who Can Give Them What They Are Looking For
No One But The Man From Nazareth

But He Likes Them, He Likes Them


8. TRUTH

You Must Speak The Truth Nothing But The Truth
That's A Prophet's Rule Then He'll Make It Thru
If He Covers Truth With A Cheap Excuse
In The End He'll Lose 'Cause He Left The Truth
Stand Up For The Truth You Won't Be Confused
If You Don't Misuse The Words You Use
Truth Can Stand Alone In Itself It's Strong
Truth Cannot Be Wrong Cannot Be Wrong

Prophets That Are False Will Not Pay The Cost
Do Not Really Care What Is True Or Not
You Will Be Confused When They Speak To You
You Will See What's True In What They Produce
Prophets That Are True When They Speak To You
They Will Speak The Truth Without Judging You
They Can Stand Alone When The Wind Is Strong
You Will Find The Truth In What They Produce

You Gotta Stick To The Truth Stick To The Truth

Jesus Had The Truth He Defended Truth
He Refused To Lie So He Gave His Life
They Were All Upset 'Cause Of What He Said
But He Didn't Care 'Bout Their Traps And Snares
Truth Came Out Of Him When He Came To Bring
Words To Set Us Free Meant For You And Me
He Was Not Afraid And He Gladly Paid
Every Price There Was To Deliver Us

You Gotta Stick To The Truth Stick To The Truth


9. FACE IN THE CROWD

Just A Face In The Crowd Unidentified Passing By
A Ship Lost In The Sea
Aiming For -Do You Know-
One Of A Million Stars Anonymous
No-One Cares If You're There
Looking For Someone Who Shares
What's Behind Every Wall And Door
Lonely Out In Space Want To Find A Place
I Can Call My Home

Like A Number In A Line
That Never Ends Until It Ends
Lost In The Universe Feel Like I'm Hanging
On A String Who Holds This Dream
Just A Little Man Can I Understand
There Must Be A Hand, Someone With A Mind
That Must Be Behind This Can't Be All By Chance

I'm Just A Face In The Crowd
If Someone Out There Really Loves Me Let Me Know
I Have To Know, Please Let Me Know
'Cause The Shadow Of His Cross Reaches
Even Us Lost In Time And Space


10. TOMORROW

Heavy Burden, Wounded Feet
Driven By Love, That's Why
One Last Time Thru The Streets Of Jerusalem
Up To The Hill Where You Gave Your Life

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, You'll Be Back
Again From The Place Where You Went
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, You'll Be Back
From Death To Life
Tomorrow, Tomorrow

Bound By Guilt, I Had No Chance To Make It Thru
You Said "I Will Pay It, For You"
The Hate Was Strong, But Yet
It Couldn't Overcome Your Love
You Looked Like A Looser
But You Were Not
'Cause You Came Back Again

Tomorrow...

In The Darkest Night Where I Was Coming To The End
That's When I Found You, Thet's When I Found You
When I Believed In You Every Wall That Was Between Us
Fell Down When I Found You

Tomorrow, You'll Be Back Again
From The Place Where You Went
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, You'll Be Back Again
With A Crown On Your Head


11. BERLIN 38 (NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM)

(Wish we never had to sing this song
But we have to, 'cause we must never forget)

I was twenty-five in berlin '38
I had just bought a little store
And the war was close
Then I met her, rebekah
With her wonderful smile
And I was in love, and she was in love
The future was ours
We married soon, and joseph and sarah came
And we loved them so, our dream came true

Clouds gathered dark, I couldn't understand it
I simply didn't see it, I should have
But I didn't

Under the star, my heart beats there
It was just because of the star
Next year in jerusalem
Next year in jerusalem

And late one night, I woke up from the
Noise in the street
People were shouting
People were running in the stairs
They knocked on the door
And then they came rushing in
With guns and no compassion
They said, you have to come
One suitcase and that's all
You must go now

We ran down the stairs
Joseph wasn't fast enough
They kicked him and he fell
And he was only three
I picked him up, and took him in my arms
They took us to the train
They packed us like cattle
Rebekah squeezed my hand she said:
We must stay together
No matter what happens

How can I describe
Cause when we arrived, they took
Rebekah and the children aside
And we all cried
She looked at me
I'll never forget her eyes
She said, I'll take care of the children
And then they were gone, gone

Next year in jerusalem
Next year in jerusalem

We must not forget, we can never forget
Because of the star
We must not forget
It did really happen


12. SOLDIER

I'm A Soldier, Fighting In the Army Of The Living God
I'm A Soldier, And I'm Fighting The Good Fight
Fighting For His Kingdom

You're A Soldier, Fighting In the Army Of The Living God
You're A Soldier, And You're Fighting The Good Fight
Fighting For His Kingdom

I'm A Soldier, Fighting In The Army Of The Living God
I'm A Soldier, And I'm Fighting For Justice
Fighting For The Truth For His Kingdom

You Have The Sword, You Have The Shield
You Have The Guts To Run The Race
You Have The Shoes To Run The Race
You Have The Good News And You're
A Soldier, And You're Fighting The Good Fight
Fighting For His Kingdom

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
