Weak In The Knees

All Alone
by Kelly Machado

Running in circles will only bring vertigo.
If you would only sit and let the world spin
on it's own.

When you feel the earth shake
you may feel poor,
but fearing heartbreak
will only bring more.

Where on this earth
are you trying to go?
Why have you left me alone?
All alone.

Waving your white flag only means fear has won.
If war is where you stop then how will you know
what's to come?

When your breath is swept away,
you may feel cold,
but fearing heartbreak
will only bring more.

Where on this earth
are you trying to go?
Why have you left me alone?
All alone.

I'm tired of blaming myself
So now it's your turn to sit in this corner and think for yourself,
about what went wrong.
What the hell went wrong?

When my breath was swept away
I felt poor.
Now my fear is that heart break
will only bring more.


All Alone

Hello Sir
May I take a moment of your time
To tell you where I am

All is black and grey
Can you please take this away?
Cause my skin has turned to a cold dark cave.

	Where are you now
	I am on my knees
	But I still can’t breathe
	I need you to be true
	Cause in this darkened home
	A curse seems more true than hope

Is the battle to believe your existence?
Is the battle to join this fair resistance we call faith?
I often wonder if they hear me cry.

	Where are you now
	I am on my knees
	But I still can’t breathe
	I need you to be true
	Cause in this darkened home
	A curse seems more true than hope

To whom it may concern
Please see I am trying to learn
but this all seems so useless
without you here.

	Where have you gone?
	I am on my knees,
	I need you to be true.
	Oh Abba, where have you gone?
	I need you now, to save me.
	I need you.



From the Broken Hearted

Here me say
I think there has to be a better way
Here me say
I regret some choices that I have made

I felt the rope around my neck
my life was done, there was nothing left.
You promised everything
but you tied me down like a snake upon the ground.

I once had wings
but I was afraid to be free

[Chorus]
Take this broken heart and give it hope
I was free but I chose the rope
It tied me up to keep me safe
blinded faith is better than a snake

All I saw
were birds in a sky without flaw
All I saw
were feathers making shadows with the dawn

Bound to earth both day and night
I watched them spend their life in flight
I longed for their every breath, as I wept
"That will never be me."

Then a feather floated down
It made an infinite sound

[Chorus]

I once had wings
but I was afraid to be free
A feather floated down to me
so that maybe I too can fly
I too can fly
