V5.5

[Instrumental Intro] [Haunting, rhythmic acoustic piano chords looping, soft bass guitar pulse] [Verse 1] Come and hold my hand, I wanna feel the light I wanna know the truth, I wanna choose the right There's a missing space, a war inside my chest I try to follow grace, but find no place to rest I look into the law, it tells me how to live But I am broken down, with nothing left to give [Chorus] [Drums kick in heavily, strings swell, soaring vocals] I just wanna feel real love shine down on me I just wanna break this chain and be set free Not the evil that I hate, not the things I keep on doing There's a law close at hand, pulling everything to ruin Before I fall... Before I lose it all... [Verse 2] [Steady drum beat continues, piano driving the rhythm] The good I want to choose, it passes like a ghost The things I want to leave are what I do the most I try to run the race, I try to stand up tall But evil's at the gate, just waiting for the fall I cannot find the strength to make my spirit whole This heavy body tries to capture my own soul [Chorus] [Full energy, passionate vocal belt] I just wanna feel real love shine down on me I just wanna break this chain and be set free Not the evil that I hate, not the things I keep on doing There's a law close at hand, pulling everything to ruin Before I fall... [Bridge] [Music builds with dramatic strings and electric guitar sustain] Who will save this wretched man? Who will reach and take my hand? From this body made of death? With my every failing breath... [Chorus] [Maximum emotional climax, full band power] I just wanna feel real love shine down on me I just wanna break this chain and be set free Not the evil that I hate, not the things I keep on doing There's a law close at hand, pulling everything to ruin [Outro] [Music starts to strip back down to just the lone piano chords] Evil's close at hand... Right where I stand... I wanna feel... [Fade out slowly]
