Today 03:15
Life is moving way too fast to keep up I try so hard not to look back I grew up way too fast now there's nothing to believe in It's time for a change Looking back on the promises I made myself And how I'd never live this way I don't want to fear those mountains in the distance It's time for some faith And it starts today Starts today Starts today Starts today Starts today And it starts today Starts today Starts today Starts today Starts today

Higher 03:18
Just a rock 'n roll band on a mission from God Come on here we go Fighting hard just to stay alive Give Him one more show Moving fast catch us if you can Devil's on our trail It's a long road home Higher Higher Lord take me Higher Higher One way one truth one life Only one way to get out of this life alive Pushing hard moving towards the light Keep up if you can Its a hard road home Take me higher Higher Lord take me higher Higher It's a long road home Its a long road home We're not done yet God ain't through with me yet Take me higher Higher Lord take me higher Higher Take me higher Higher Lord take me higher Higher

Dont Change 04:21
The world is falling down around you You feel the force of entropy The curse of death in tragic motion Displayed for all the world to see The pressure's high to conform But don't you change your way Don't change the way you are 'Cause I love the way you are Don't change a single thing I love the way you are The way you are The way you are The stars are crashing down around you You feel the weight of gravity God's truth lost in commotion Displayed for everyone to see People try to pull you down Cowards take aim behind blue screens Don't change the way you are 'Cause I love the way you are Don't change a single thing 'Cause I love the way you are The way you are The way you are Don't you ever Don't you ever Don't you ever Don't you ever Don't change the way you are 'Cause I love the way you are Don't change a single thing 'Cause I love the way you are The way you are The way you are

Follow Me 03:36
If you've ever lost your way If you've ever lost your strength Well I know the road is long But this place ain't your home Not where you belong So come follow me Come follow me We'll be rocking down a thin line Chasing angels Come follow me Come follow me Time to leave the past behind you Lay your burdens down Let them fall off your shoulders Find the place where you belong Let me show you home So come follow me Come follow me We'll be rocking down a thin line Chasing angels Come follow me Come follow me

I hear the echoes from my heart From all those years ago Chasing dreams down that boulevard Turned out to be a dead end road The shock of hitting the bottom Woke me up to the truth I was on a journey to find myself When I found you On my way through California I found my story on the wrong road, but the wrong road was the one that led me to you Looking back on that old life sometimes I don't know how I made it through I should have been the worst version of myself Thank God those dreams never came true Now I know what Im living for since the day you set me free I know you know exactly how I felt when you walked that road for me On my way through California I found my story on the wrong road, but the wrong road was the one that led me to you Will you lead me to find myself Oh Lord On my way through California I found my story on the wrong road, but the wrong road was the one that led me to you On my way through California

Every time the setting sun gives way to the stars and the moon Your mind goes to a different place Where you dare to dream of more than the life you live The question isn't what you'll find the question is What are you gonna do with it? The world will try and stop you With every step you take. Hold on! Hold on! You know it's true. You know I'm right. Time to open your eyes. See the truth. Every time the sun is new, demons bring the questions to your mind. As the day carries on you have to decide which path to choose The question isn't what you'll find, the question is What are you gonna do with it? The world will try and stop you With every step you take Hold on! Hold on! You know it's true You know I'm right Time to open your eyes See the truth You know it's true You know I'm right Time to open your eyes See the truth

Amen 03:37
It's a sign of the times I can see it coming The moon is red The end is near Seasons change The tide is rolling in Lightning is crashing Thunder rolls The ground is shaking down to the core Demons closing in on every side He will destroy the city and the sanctuary The sun turns to black The end will come Like a flood the wrath is driving in Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah amen the end's coming soon Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah amen the Lord's coming soon Amen the Lord's coming soon The nations gather Trumpets sound We've been waiting for that final day When death is defeated And clouds will open Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah amen the end's coming soon Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah amen the Lord's coming soon Amen the Lord's coming soon

I've prayed for you Over the years That you'd find happiness I've seen you've come a long way Now you're leaving Just like you said you would I know people say That they'll keep in touch But you know it's a lie I'm happy Happy for you I bet your wife smiled when you told her the news Your kids will have a better place To grow up and be strong I know people say That they'll keep in touch But you know its a lie See you on the other side On the other side On the other side Where the angels fly Where nothing Oh nothing hurts anymore Anymore On the day that I die And I see Jesus face to face I'll look for you my friend And spend some time that we never got to On the other Side On the other side On the other side Where the angels fly Where nothing Oh nothing hurts anymore Anymore

about

It’s every rock band’s worst nightmare. No, not talking about the power cutting out just before doing a show in front of a room full of A&R reps. An accident — a tour van accident, to be precise. The kind that would shake even the most brazen lead singer into a complete tailspin.

Last year, singer-songwriter Charlie Haley and his bandmates were driving down the highway when their van’s cruise control shaft got stuck and the breaks just plain cut out. If that doesn’t strike enough terror into your heart, they were also in a construction zone going about 90 MPH. Thankfully, Haley’s quick thinking saved their lives –he shifted the van into neutral and pulled out the key, ending the dramatic saga.

That near-death experience led Haley to pen “Today,” a rock ‘n’ roll-infused jam that perhaps sardonically begins, “Life is moving way too fast” and continues through all of the proverbial eye-opening resolutions one might have after such a traumatic experience, promising that “it starts today.” Equal parts touching and inspiring, it’s a song where knowing the context makes it just that much better.
