Lyrics

Verse 1: It was 2003; we were trying to forget About the towers and planes, and all the fears and the threats We new we had to be strong; killing depression was vital We turned our Nickleback up, discussed American Idol Put our focus on progress, kept on running our race We just reached for the stars; we sent a crew into space February the first, our best of technology Was turned in just a few minutes to flaming bits of debris Columbia and those seven, thousands on 9/11 People grieving in silence or singing songs about heaven Though we're scared to admit it, we all know it inside At the end of our limits, we all have nowhere to hide So we cover emotion, stay distracted and busy But we're just working for tokens, build a house for a visit And we wonder why is it that we feel insecure? These days we don't feel safe; maybe we never were, huh Hook: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Heads high, but our hearts in canyons Are we under a spell? Are we too scared to tell? Alright, right, right, right The best days still fade in the twilight Stow our doubts in a shell But we don't hide very well Oooh, Oooh we're so powerless (4x) Verse 2: I see the man in the mirror, scared of making mistakes Wondering if he'll make it, if he's got what it takes Will he make enough money? Will he barely get by? Will he have to give up on his dream, watching it die? Is he ready for kids? Can he manage a home? Will he be there for his wife, or will she struggle alone? What if sickness…what if disaster…what if… Is there anything that he can prevent? No guarantees, but I've got dreams No constant light, but I've got gleams No promise that I'll make it through the night The only thing I have for sure is Christ Guess that's the beauty of the powerless Made to rest in Him, the only place where power is That's the beauty of the powerless Find our hope in Him, the only place where power is Hook 2x
