All You ask

V1
Can you look around tonight
Do you hear the crying in the dark
Crying out to nothing there
Screaming to the open air

Open my shallow eyes to see
Let me hear the children cry
Will my shallow heart now feel
How you felt when you left the sky

Pre-chorus
If I was there
If I saw you move
Will I not move the way you told me to?
Will I be bold enough
To live my life
The way you did before you gave your life

Chorus
And all you ask of me, was remember them
Was that what you were thinking of, when the nails pierced your hands
You felt all their pain, only you understand
Will I turn my back on them, never again

V2
Can I hear the old man weap
Struggling to make his keep
Or am I too proud a man
Just to spare an outstretched hand

Will I at least say a prayer?
Will my tears reach them there?
Who am I, who am I?
Can I go just like you went?

Pre-chorus
If I was there
If I saw you move
Will I not move the way you told me to?
Will I be bold enough
To live my life
The way you did before you gave your life
If my victory's, on the other side
Will I not give it all to serve the ones who hide
Can I run this race, can i fight this fight
In the darkess of nights, I will be their light


What was in it for You, what did you stand to gain
In exchange for all the pain, a lamb that was slain
You lay down your pride, you laid down your fame
To be poor like the least of them, can I do the same?

Never again, will their cries for help stay there
No longer will this be, just another prayer
So Ill walk this way of life, this burden I will bare
For I know it isnt fair, it isnt fair
