Consider this question
|
Look deep inside
|
Deliver a true confession
|
What are you willing to live for?
|
|
Consider this question
|
Open your eyes
|
Examine your own reflection
|
What are you willing to die for?
|
|
When your backs' against the wall
|
And the time's uncertain
|
Consider this question
|
No standing by
|
When flesh and blood are threatened
|
What are you willing to kill for?
|
|
We seek to understand
|
We cry with head in hand
|
|
The bridges we build to connect
|
The distance that makes us forget
|
Hate dividing us, love reminding us
|
Of our shared humanity
|
|
Hope can be a shadow fleeting
|
I would rather die believing
|
Capture it all in a final act of faith
|
|
We seek to understand
|
We cry with head in hand
|
|
A story that needs to be told
|
An answer that begs to be found
|
The beauty we wish to behold
|
Is never too far away
|

Martyrs for the kingdom

Fighting for your life
|
A soldier for his country
|
A junkie for the high
|
Teachers for their students
|
Vengeance for a crime
|
Rebels for their freedom
|
A tyrant for the praise
|
Cowards for salvation
|
Money, love, and fame
|
|
Noble and brave
|
Lay down our lives for the cause
|
Death over shame
|
Grace before glory

|
|
To really feel the joy in life
|
You must suffer through the pain
|
When you surrender to the light
|
You can face the darkest days
|
|
If you open up your eyes
|
And you put your trust in love
|
On those cold and endless nights
|
You will never be alone
|
|
Passion glows within your heart
|
Like a furnace burning bright
|
Until you struggle through the dark
|
You'll never know that you're alive
