AFTER APRIL formed as a way to express the realities we all face. We take our thoughts and feelings and condense them into a simple song; a melody that channels us towards hope. Whether it's a beating drum or a single note, our music is intentional, it's meant to connect. Hope is our beginning, Love is our journey, Music is our expression.
Lyrics:
I feel the weight of this life Im living I feel the pace and Im trying to hold on, to hold on So many times I forget Youve told me If I surrender everything and just let go You are in control So wont You come break me down? Lord would You lead me right now? I only wanna follow You Take me where You are Open up these eyes I only wanna follow You Ill be waiting for a sign like a fire in the sky Ill follow You, Ill follow You So many things that Ive tried to conquer In a kingdom that Ive built up on my own, on my own But if I look at what my hearts been chasing Will I regret what Ive been running for, running for? So wont you please be the sound that echoes inside me right now? I only wanna follow YouLyrics:
Its too cold to bare In this atmosphere Wheres the warmth in here Lets start a fire Strike a match, lets go Watch the embers rise Breaking through the night Lets start a fire Wake the sleeping hearts Lets start a fire Til the break of dawn Lets start a fire Keep the flame alive Lets start a fire Lets ignite the sky Like the city lights In the distance glowing bright Lets start a fire Cause this love cannot hide When its raised on mountain heights So let it shineLyrics:
Get back to the basics We don't wanna waste this Cause in the end we'll find, we were given time Look at all of these faces Do we know where our place is? It's not too late for us, we've been given love Yeah we gotta be open cause our window is closing Let's not miss a chance and throw it all away (let it slip away) We won't live here forever What are we waiting for? Stand for what really matters What are we waiting for? The sun is gonna fade out The stars are gonna fall down But we're here right now To move against the crowd Cause out here in the ocean Where the current is violent Love is big enough Enough to overcome Yeah we gotta be open cause our window is closing Let's not miss a chance and let it slip away Rise up, rise up, what are we waiting for?Lyrics:
Ive sailed away Chasing what is lost Too many games Ive played Been in too deep, over my head If only I could breathe again, if I could breathe again I need a remedy Somebody fighting for me My Antidote I need a certainty Something to set me free My Antidote Im wanting more If I could feel Something thats real again Ive grown so numb To everything Its slowly killing me, its slowly killing me Im waiting, waiting x3 For youLyrics:
You can run away and hide Or find the peace inside The way you live your life is up to you You can focus on the shame Or toss your cares away The way you see your life is your point of view Its your choice Here tonight If you need Someone to fight I will Even if your backs against the wall And if youre bound to fall Ill fight, fight for you Ill fight, fight for you Even when youre short on hope You dont have to feel alone Ill fight, fight for you Ill fight, fight for you (My love, Ill fight for you my love) If you open up your mind And find loves design The way you see your life will become brand newLyrics:
Burning quick like gasoline Faith becomes the fumes I breathe in Vanishing inside the flames Caught within this urgent disarray I entertain the wildest dreams Thoughts are running loose inside of me Im hanging to the certainty That you and I, can begin again Here we collide Falling like comets in the sky The love we find Ignites in a beautiful design Our colors burst into the night We come alive I'll scale the walls around my heart Or tear them down to get where you are Im hanging to the certainty That you and I, can begin again Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Here we are now Livin and BreathinLyrics:
Im suffering Its breaking me and my mind is torn and afraid Im questioning do I still believe If Im, Starting to lose my way So just tell me who I am, everything you can, I am just a man Praying for answers, Praying for answers I am not ok, hiding far away, feeling out of place tell me who I am, tell me who I am so take me from this broken road show me the way that I should go send out a sign and lead me home tell me who I am, tell me who I am Im by myself, theres no one else I dont seem to have the strength so, how long can I hold on without starting to fall away So just tell me who I am, everything you can, I am just a man Praying for answers, Praying for answers I am not ok, hiding far away, feeling out of place tell me who I am, tell me who I am so take me from this broken road show me the way that I should go send out a sign and lead me home tell me who I am, tell me who I am Im not in search for answers Im reaching out tonight Im not in search for answers Im reaching out tonight So take me from this broken road show me the way that I should go send out a sign and lead me home tell me who I am, tell me who I am So take me from this broken road show me the way that I should go send out a sign and lead me home tell me who I am, tell me who I am Tell me who I am Tell me who I amLyrics:
Im runnin, runnin I gotta get out of here I know exactly where I wanna be, gotta be, but im just not there yet Its comin, comin I can feel it in the air I know exactly where I wanna be, gotta be, but im just not there yet I can touch it but I just cant get it into my own grip I can taste it , its just like a flavor Ill never forget Im closer now Than Ive ever been before And Im learning how As Im breaking through the door Gonna keep movin on, movin on, movin on, movin on Say goodbye to yesterday Im movin on, movin on, movin on, movin on Say goodbye to yesterday Its beatin, beatin Like a drum its loud and clear I know exactly where I wanna be, gotta be, but im just not there yetLyrics:
When all I hear is the sound of silence And all that echoes is the voice of fear I remember that You've never left me And Your Spirit will meet me here When my confusion still holds me ransom And I've been caught by a raging storm You reach down with Your arms of mercy Hope is rising up from the floor You lift me up to soar with You Oh You are, You are my rescue And when I fall Your love is proof Oh You are, You are my rescue (3x) When my feet are buried in the wreckage And I'm stranded on the isle of man Help my eyes to see that You're the shelter In the danger of this land I wanna know The safety of Your love I wanna know You'll never let me goLyrics:
Somebody told me once Id be nothing You know I kinda believed them I threw my head back and laughed at the time But inside my heart I was bleeding Cause I didnt know At the time who Id be Where my life would take me Couldnt See it But now I know Who I am Cause of where Ive been I can point at the moment when My life changed At the crossroads Woah- My life changed at the crossroads When I look back now I cant believe it I fell in the lies they were speaking If I knew then what I know now Those years they wouldnt be wastedLyrics:
I'm falling down on my knees Something's changed inside me I don't know quite what it is You lead and I will follow This heart will chase blindly Cause all I want is all you are I need you here So let the world stands still I need to hear You speak to me Won't you tell me what you want? Won't you show me what this means? I need you I need you here Where the world stands still All alone and falling apart I'm miles from where you are And the end is closing in How am I supposed to stand here when my eyes can't see past the fear? I'm breaking down, I'm giving in I need you here where the world stands still Will you meet me when I need you here?Lyrics:
Are you lost in the valley And the darkness is covered over you All alone in the shadows And it's empty, don't know what to do You've been running like a prodigal I hope you listen for this satellite call I don't know where you're at Or what's in your forecast I want you to come back, I want you to come back No matter if you're lost and If you wonder down the wrong path I want you to come back, I want you to come back Oh the heart is like a canvas So much beauty stretched across the frame And I miss the way you smile Full of color, what a masterpiece it made If the journey feels impossible I hope you listen for this satellite call Can you hear me? I'm here waiting Can you hear me? I'm still waitingLyrics:
I can feel I've lost my way I don't know where to go Looking for a way to survive In the middle of my doubt I still know I need You now But hope is so much harder to find I don't wanna give up, no that's not who I am (help me carry on) I don't wanna give in I'm still holding on, I'm still holding on Give me faith to believe and the strength for what I need I'm still holding on, I'm still holding on Even when my hope is gone, I'm still holding on Going through another day A heavy burden on my chest Oh I feel it dragging me down, down, down Deeper than I've ever been And now I see I'm in over my head Fighting off the pressure to drown I dont wanna let go So Im holding on
