Shot Out of the Sky

Another hero
Shot out of the sky
I watch and I say,
"But I thought you could fly!"

I get it, we're human
We all make mistakes
But this one I know
Was a choice that he made

And now it's a lesson,
A reminder that I must
Put my faith in God,
The only one I can trust

Another hero
Shot out of the sky
I watch and I say,
"But I thought you could fly!"

I know that he can
But he decided to land
And now here I am
Left wondering why.

Hold On.

Look around you. Right now, look around. The pictures on your wall, the brother next to you, and the friends you're texting on your phone. The very air around you.
All the people you see all the time-- don't you think you take them for granted? You're not entitled to anything you have, including relationships. You could lose someone in five minutes.
Five.
Don't be scared; I'm not saying it'll happen. But we all too often forget how precious our friends and families are, and life doesn't always wait for you to say goodbye first.

So hold on,
Hold on.
Don't let them slip away 
Without appreciating them.

Hold on,
Hold on.
'Cause one day they're here,
And the next day they're gone.

Remember

Should I be ashamed
That I can't find any words to say?
Goodbye doesn't seem enough
For someone I may not see again.

He's going, going away
But still, I will not forget his name.
This friend, I swear, I will remember
And all the memories he gave.

They Didn't Get Her

The strangest thing
'Cause I hadn't yet
Read what you'd said,
But somehow last night
I was saved from my nightmare
Just because you were there.

Merek.

Reaching out
And trying to grasp
A second chance
But it's not there

Begging, begging
I'm on my knees
Can we start again?
Please, let me try again.

There was nothing you did wrong
It's all me
I was selfish, I was blind
And I'm so sorry

Can we start again?
I don't deserve this,
This I know
But I can see now,
And I won't let go.

Begging, begging
I'm on my knees
Can we start again?
Please, please, please
Let me try again

I'm reaching out
And trying to grasp
A second chance
But it's not there.

Genuine

Why, oh why,
Why do you care?
Why are you somehow
Always there?

You're so willing to listen,
I don't get you at all!
You're so willing to catch me
If I ever fall

I hope that I
Am as good of a friend
As you are to me,
'Cause you don't pretend

Falling Behind

She's falling behind,
She's falling behind
Screaming out,
"Don't leave my side"

And it's too late
It's too, too late
Screaming out,
"Please, please wait!"

It's not enough
She can't move
Just when she thought she'd make it,
It left too soon

Yeah, just when she thought she had a grip
That's when both of her hands slipped.

She's falling behind,
She's falling behind
Wishing someone
Was on her side

And it's too late,
It's too, too late
Screaming, "Don't let me
Evaporate!"

Just when she thought she'd been left behind
He came, he saved her, he was on her side.
