Bleed lyrics - Collective Soul

I think her gun's
unloaded now.
I guess tomorrow
will be after all?
Who made me judge
and jury here?
It seems I'm bearing
witness to her fall.

I don't know why
she cries to me.
(she keeps her pain
as company)
'Cause it's only time
before we all must
bleed.

Mirrors of her
memory
Reflect nothing with
each word she says.
Her views have got
me spinning 'round.
I think she's burning
alters in her head.

Reunion lyrics - Collective Soul

Change will come
Change is here
Love fades out
Then love appears

Now my water's turned to wine
And these thoughts I have
I now claim as mine
I'm coming home

Change has been
Change will be
Time will tell
Then time will ease

Now my curtain has been drawn
And my heart can go
Where my heart does belong
I'm going home

Shine lyrics - Collective Soul

Give me a word,
Give me a sign.

Teach me how to share.

Tell me will love be there?
Love be there?

Goodnight, Good Guy lyrics - Collective Soul

Somebody told me about a worn out distraction
That I had let slip away
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
And burdens me every new day
Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out
And try to figure out how to do without you

Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning
Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning
Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's
All right
Well goodnight, good guy

I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and
I can only stay so strong
Well I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
Who's finding it difficult to just let go

I'm gonna let you sleep
I'll let you fade off in the night
I play the Lord to keep
I pray the Lord to hold you tight
Goodnight.

Wasting Time lyrics - Collective Soul

Something's going wrong inside of you
Burdens bearing down and seeping through
Well, I don't want to bleed anymore for you
And I don't want to breathe any hatred too

Sitting while you world just floats around
Now you want to move 'cause it's crashing down
Well, I don't want to sing you guarantees
And I don't want to cling to our use to be's
So take your heart, take your soul
Just get yourself on out of here
Yeah, take your hurt, take your pain
Just get yourself on out of here

Wasting time
That's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time
I don't see what you think I see
Wasting time
That's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time
I don't want what you think I need

Sister Don't Cry lyrics - Collective Soul

Overseas through the air
Touched your heart down with care
All the thoughts left behind
Soon will catch you in time
Well, if I could, you know I would
Let salvation reign on you
So, won't you push away
All this pain that you've been through

Yeah, Sister don't cry
Sister don't cry no more
Sister don't cry anymore

While the scenes shuffle 'round
Let your world anchor down
Pull your heart from your sleeve
First react then believe
You won't always get thunder
To warn you of storms ahead
So bury all this pain
And get on with your life again

Conquer some serenity
Lay yourself in field of poetry
Close you eyes to all you see
Lay your weary head here with me

Love Lifted Me lyrics - Collective Soul

Wait just a second now
Love's easier Lost than found
So learn baby learn
It's time to up and turn the other way
Yeah peace baby peace
It's past time to release and fly away

Once I was down and couldn't see
Then love lifted me
Yeah love; it was love
I believe that love lifted me

Hush not another sound
Time to move up to higher ground
Now time baby time
No longer's on our side so make a way
To ride baby ride
And pull me upon high and fly away

Don't push me, don't shove me
Don't make me go down in flames
Pull me to safety and help me
To feel no more pain
Come on just lift me up

In A Moment lyrics - Collective Soul

The walls came up as the thoughts went down
To the hush of disparity
Sure we know the problem lies
With some insecurities
But we'll never see eye to eye
As long as our tongues are tied
And we'll never be seen as one
Until we find love

In a moment it could happen
We could wake up and be laughing
In a moment it could happen
We could forgive and be happy

It's a shame our world responds to life
As a puzzle in disguise
I wish our course would lead us towards
The peace and loving kind
But we'll never walk hand in hand
Until we let old wounds mend
And we'll never sing songs as one
Until we find love

In a moment some wisdom could be learned
In a moment new voices could be heard
In a moment we could make heads turn
In a moment we could change

Heaven's Already Here lyrics - Collective Soul

Wake up to a new morning
Got my babe by my side
Now I won't yield to new warnings
'Cause I got my piece of mind

Who could bring me heaven
When heaven's already here?

No more living in darkness
Now that love lights my way
I don't need any new changes
To make me love today

Reach lyrics - Collective Soul

Should I thirst for knowledge
Can I beg you for some water
Should I fight your battles
Can I rest upon your shoulders
I hope I'm able to ride out this storm
So come on Gabriel and blow your horn

Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to save me
Yeah, Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to hold me

Should I beg for mercy
Can I be the one you treasure
Should I question knowledge
Can I have all of your answers
I hope I'm able to find love today
Can I ask you to light my way

Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to guide me
Yeah, Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to love me

Take me out of these walls
Take me somewhere I can see
Take me away from it all
Please just reach out to me

Breathe lyrics - Collective Soul

Down by sea
I think I saw (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Our love dissolve

So plant a little seed
Soon it starts growing
Shed a little light
Soon we'll be glowing
Hear a little tune
Soon we'll start singing
Give a little love
Then love will start breathing

Out by the bay
I long to be (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
A man of peace
I'm gonna breathe love
Yeah, I'm gonna take a deep breath for you
Come on now people
Come on now breathe

Scream lyrics - Collective Soul

Push me to the left, hold me to the right
I never know where to go
Burning that trail to the promised land
You're moving on out of control
Well I don't want to be some puppet on a string
And I don't want to learn of things you can't explain
And I don't want to have your views on everything
I just want to scream

Scream about hurting
Scream about mercy
Scream about something
Scream about nothing

Drop me in the hills, leave me in the plains
Give me some room to breathe
The words you spill, the moves you make
I find them all hard to believe
Well I don't want to be statistic industry
And I don't want to give when all you share is greed
And I don't want to have one more enemy
I just want to scream

There you go with all your might
Giving promises by decree
Well God is great and God is good
But God you'll never be
Well I don't want to be in your hospitality
And I don't want to live in false reality
See I'm the one obsessed with truth and honesty
I just want to scream

Burning Bridges lyrics - Collective Soul

Been thinking a lot about my ways
Guess I'm trying baby
Been searching out a way to say
Guess I'm sorry baby
This time I give all to you
It's time I prove something to you

So I'll lift you up and hold you near
Warm your heart and calm you fears
See I don't want to lose this love I found
So I'll burn my bridges, burn them down

Been hurting a lot without you here
Guess I need you baby
Been sleeping upon a bed of tears
Guess I miss you baby
This time I give all to you
It's time I prove something to you

Take all my world and shake it
Take my dear heart and embrace it
Take what I say and listen
My world's changing, changing for you

All lyrics - Collective Soul

Watch my world spin round
It stops for you
I'll give you heaven for a view
I set my sights on high my aim is true
I'd walk on water just for you

All is all I can give you
All is all I can do
All is all I wish for when I'm with you

Come lay your troubles down
Rest here with me
My kingdom is all yours to receive

Well, I'll push the clouds away
So you can have sunshine
I'll give you anything that your heart desires

Beautiful World lyrics - Collective Soul

In the morning
Hope is whispering to me quietly...quietly
Some confusion
Seems to reign continuously over me...over me
Though I walk through the valley
No more shadows will cover me
Yeah yeah
Now you've opened my eyes

It's a beautiful world
When I've got you here to hold
It's a beautiful world
Where all Heaven's light is shown
It's a beautiful world
When I've got you here to hold
It's a beautiful world
When I just let love take control

In the evening
Faith is watching over me, I believe..that I believe
As I'm lying
In arms of security I can see...yeah I see
All the ways you have given
In my hour of blinding need
Yeah yeah
Now you've opened my eyes

It's a beautiful world
When I've got you here to hold
It's a beautiful world
Where all Heaven's light is shown
It's a beautiful world
When I've got you here to hold
It's a beautiful world
When I just let love take control

The only way to hope is through tears
The only way to faith is through fear
The only way to love is when you kneel
Yeah yeah
Now you've opened my eyes

It's a beautiful world
When I've got you here to hold
It's a beautiful world
Where all Heaven's light is shown
It's a beautiful world
When I've got you here to hold
It's a beautiful world
When I just let love take control

Burn lyrics - Collective Soul

Not busy
Got time
Got compliments with every line
Got more
Got less
I've got the real thing pain can't protect

So don't talk the talk when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries
Baby, just burn

Got silence
Got noise
Got resolution in my voice
Got heart
Got gold
Got the combination to my soul

So don't talk the talk when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
Baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries
Baby, just burn

So don't talk the talk when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline

Don't talk of life's little miseries,
Baby, just burn!

Energy lyrics - Collective Soul

I leave the cage wide open
I give no words of caution dear
So when you're done revolving
I only ask your presence here

In the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah

I cleared the road wide open
So put your hand on the wheel and steer
Don't drain this conversation
To only fill it back with tears

In the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah

In the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah

Mother and child
I'm such a man for a short while
And promises be
The world just spins faster than me
(Come on, come on, come on)

And all of your friends, I hear are whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

In beauty or beast
(Beauty or beast)
Who's my character to be
I'm now covering
(I'm now covering)
All the makeup that makes me
(Come on, come on, come on)

And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy

And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

You got it, you got it
Come on

And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy

And all of your friends are still whispering

Don't let me drink alone
Now my heart is achin'
Don't let it turn to stone
Now my world is changing

Youth lyrics - Collective Soul

[from "From The Ground Up" EP]

And you said we would be golden when we grow old
And you said we'd never be broken when we grow old

But if a river can dry to dust
I guess the angels we learn to trust can fly away
Like a mountain can lose it's peak
I now know a heart can change it's needs quietly

And you said we'd never be parted when we grow old
And you said I'll see you in heaven when we grow old

But if a river can dry to dust
I guess the angels we learn to trust can fly away
Like a mountain can lose it's peak
I now know a heart can change it's needs quietly

And so goodbye, come tomorrow; goodbye, come tomorrow
goodbye, goodbye
Yeah, goodbye, come tomorrow; goodbye, come tomorrow
Goodbye goodbye

And you said we would be golden when we grow old
