For the Sake of the World - Bethel Music & Jenn Johnson

Oh, why does she sing Her sad songs for me, I'm not the one To tenderly bring her soft sympathy, I've just begun To see my way clear And it's plain if I stop I will fall I can lay down a tear for her pain Just a tear and that's all Oh, what does she want me to do? She says that she knows That moments are rare I suppose that it's true Then on she goes to say I don't care Oh, she knows that I do Maybe she just has to sing For the sake of the song And who do I think that I am To decide that she's wrong She'd like to think I was cruel But she knows that's a lie for I would be No more than a tool If I allowed her to cry all over me Oh, my sorrow is real Even though I can't change my plans If she could see how I feel Then I know that she'd understand Oh, does she actually think I'm to blame? Does she really believe that some word of mine Could relieve all her pain? Can't she see that she grieves Just because she's been blindly deceived by her shame? Oh, maybe she just has to sing For the sake of the song And who do I think that I am To decide that she's wrong Oh, but nothin's what it seems Maybe she'll start someday to realize If she abandons her dreams Then all the words she can say are only lies Oh, why can't she see that to gain is only to lose? All that she offers me are her chains and I got to refuse Oh, but it's only to herself that she's lied She likes to pretend There's something that she should defend with her pride And I don't intend To stand here and be the friend From whom she must hide Oh, maybe she just has to sing For the sake of the song And who do I think that I am To decide that she's wrong

We have been stuck in here a day, seeking Answers for all eternity, or something Hear the meaning, speaking in me Have faith in me, have faith in me I cannot say that I am fine And take all you say at face value I've talked to you more than I have Have faith in me, have faith in me I've talked too much today You don't trust me So I keep on talking in every way Across the sea I hear you calling me For the sake of revenge you command me This ain't over, no it's never over 'Till the fat lady sings, you love me I am tired, yet I am swimming You will not let go of me, you are drowning As you're quietly pulling me under We will never make it unless you let go There's no crime, yet I stand accused And I see the solution naked before me You reduced me to a weapon, unlike you Have faith in me, have faith in me I cannot hear, though I incline my ear Why do I even try I've told you all 'bout what I am Have faith in me, have faith in me I'm feeling weak today Please, don't crush me I keep on walking, far away I keep on crawling, all in vain I'm feeling slow today So don't rush me We live this wretched serenade You keep me playing, anyway Across the sea I hear you calling me For the sake of revenge you will command me This ain't over, it's never over 'Till the fat lady sings, you love me I'm so tired, yet keep on swimming You will not let go of me, you're drowning Now you're quietly pulling me under Oh so quietly pulling me under

I want a glimpse into your world, these things only end up getting worse I've been losing sleep from daydreaming, but it's only time 'till it catches up with me These isles aren't listening, their minds are sickening Pretty sure we're heading towards something Pretty sure we're heading towards nothing. This is a ballad for the end of the world, this is a ballad for the end of the world We can only think, only think, "this is it, this is it" For anyone who's listening Whenever this happens, your mind turns to static Fuck all the fascists, keep all the blood in your veins Nothing can ever stay the same, even the moon goes through phases The people of this planet are heartless, but baby we're just getting started This is a ballad for the end of the world, this is a ballad for the end of the world We can only think, only think, "this is it, this is it" To anyone who feels a thing

You feel the beating thunder rolling underground Under your feet and things are moving all around You try to reach for something just to hold your body to your brain But when it hits you, you're gonna feel no pain Feel the room shake Hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound I feel the heat and fire buring all around Out on the street I hear the pavement break and pound I want to be the one that makes your swan sing "take my soul away" Oh Hallelujah, I wanna hear you say Feel the room shake Hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound Feel the room shake Can you hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound

"I don't like you, go away With the strange opinions, that you claim!" "I don't like you, go away! Don't touch me with your sinful hands!" "We need assimilation more than diversity!" "The indoctrination is purging your belief" "Sufferance is the only reason Why you still breathe!" Pluralism, multiculturalism Are human's archievements, that we would be missin' Proselytization and fascism Result in the question How can I fit in? Tolerance is based on identity and empathy Tolerance is the key to a society That pursuits of the peacekeeping, we were bleeding for Let us end the everlasting wars! But is unity the only thing that we need? No! "I don't like you, go away With the strange opinions, that you claim!" "I don't like you, go away Don't touch me with your sinful hands!" Pluralism, multiculturalism Are human's archievements, that we would be missin' Proselytization and fascism Result in the question How can I fit in? How can I fit in? How can I fit in? Accept each other for charity's sake! Accept each other for charity's sake! We want the structures of hate to break! Accept each other for charity's sake! We want sympathy and love to awake!
