Take Me Alive

(album: Heroes For Sale - 2013)

[Verse 1:]
They say we are different, what's that common ground?
One day everybody go lay in that ground (yap)
If death is certain, then how you living?
And if heaven's real, tell me how you get in.
I'm a bet it on my life, it ain't gonna be about works
So I bet it all on Christ, boy let me give you this work.
Way before the moment I crawl I already been in that hurts
I'm already dead, I'm living in reverse,
The first will be last and the last will be first
Following Jesus don't mean that there won't be pain
But um, it does promise that none of it is in vain,
And um, I'm not afraid of that persecution that came
I'm more afraid of the fame and people knowing my name.

[Hook:]
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.

Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.

[Verse 2:]
Keep riding low key, ya'll know me,
Soli deo glory be,
To the Father I can't lie though sometimes I want it all for me.
Urgh, gotta kill that, gotta kill it,
Don't conceal that but reveal it,
But I don't care what you think about me
The Father know it all and I'm still forgiven.
I must decrease cause the way up is down
And His kingdom is our blood, as crazy as that can sound.
That's why blood is rushing through my hand,
Dying's how I live.
If you love your life you lose it,
If you lose it, then you'll it gain it and
Wisdom is justified by all the children.
God's worthy of my worship, so I'm defying my feelings.
In my mess there's a message,
In my text, testimony.
He say no, I get to know him, when I'm on that rock
Use your brodie!.
I cannot be more stocky do, love me some shoes should've copped me two
But I'm thinking about the boxes inside my room
And I'm thinking about the kids that ain't got no food.
Uh, that one hurt, the truth is a mother,
The father of lies when they come up,
Heavy when they run up, the dark will reveal when the sun up,
Every day we're dying.

[Hook:]
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.

Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.
