THE NAME IS GOD

Your name never said the same way

With a pure heart, the meaning will never change
Ancient beyond the hands of time
Search past your own mind the name you will find

The name is God
Is the same no matter how you say it
Peace and love is divine goodness

The name is Jehovah
No need to say it over and over
You are a soul, and he knows you

The name is Dios
Your need for him comes and goes
He is always there even when you don't think so

The name is Kami
In your heart, you can believe anything
Even when freedom isn't a real thing

The name is Theos
No one can tell you what you already know
Why give a man all the control

The name is Shén

If you can't believe, you can't forgive

Remembering everything you did

The name is Shiva

A point of light I am like you

Manmanabhave is the way I think of you

The name is Allah

Same as it was when you were born

The same forevermore

No one has a claim to the name.

When all over the world it is said in different ways

5 MINUTES

5 Minutes -
As 22 years of life flashes by
No time to celebrate the new life

Life is a field with broken promises
Is forgiveness one of them

5 Minutes -
As a mother wonders why
Why doesn't the tears bring back life

To live is everyone's right
No one should choose to die

5 Minutes -
No time for quick decisions
No choice but to blame the victim

Could we forgive this
Should we forgive this

5 Minutes - 
No time to plan for the next day
No time to plan to pass away

Is there words for healing 
What are the words we are needing

5 Minutes -
Alone in the dark
As the pain burns through the heart

OWE U

Thought of u today
Just like I did yesterday
Can't believe ur gone
Without one last song

Just wanted to know u
Feel everything u do
Wishing I could be as cool as u
Giving so much inspiration
I feel that I owe u

I feel the steel strings
Pearce my fingers tips
Felling the pain just to play like u
To my self, it is something I have to prove

Listen to your bootleg again today
The only way to pay is to learn to play
The callus is being as the skin is pealing
Never playing the same note
I know that I owe u

VICE

Always in a fight with my self
Because of the good or bad, I've felt
The thought goes through my head
Just want to taste it and feel it again

Vice, wrong or right
Always have to think twice
Temptation tells you is it nice
Just one more try
Now I am caught in the vice

Had control I could see my goal
What will it be when I am old
A seed will never grow
If you don't plant it in the soil

Vice, right or wrong
Fighting the thoughts all day long
Proving to my self I can be strong
Temptation gets in my head
Now I am caught in its vice

All the good work I have done
Gave it up for a moment of fun
Just to get back where I been I have to run
No more moments in the sun

Vice, wrong or right
Just want to live my life
Nothing wrong with being nice
Don't want to lose got keep my pride
Fighting my way out of this vice
