The Shattered Fortress

[02:20.24] Freedom calls my name

[02:21.98] Serenity keeps me sane

[02:23.52] Happiness, it dulls the pain

[02:27.25] Honest to see my place

[02:28.99] Open to other ways

[02:30.49] Willingness to understand

[02:34.25] Justice but do not judge

[02:36.00] Courtesy for others' flaws

[02:37.73] Kindness, it's not that hard

[02:41.23] Self-restraint of tongue and pen

[02:42.73] Inventory, my daily friend

[02:44.51] Analysis let down your guard

[02:49.00] Look in the mirror

[02:52.49] What do you see?

[02:55.74] The shattered fortress

[02:59.29] That once bound me

[03:02.98] Faithful ascent, through darkest fires

[03:16.99] I've found the path to take me higher

[03:44.49] You're smart enough for me to trust go live your life now

[03:51.48] Just keep these steps in your life and you'll know how

[03:57.97] If you're not sure, ask yourself,

[04:01.49] "Have I done to them as I would have them do to me?"

[04:12.25] Look in the mirror

[04:15.73] What's that you see?

[04:18.98] The shattered fortress

[04:22.74] Fly now be free

[04:26.23] Faithful ascent, through darkest fires

[04:40.23] I've found the path to take me higher

[04:53.99] I once thought it better to be right

[05:00.99] But now I have finally seen the light

[05:09.47] Sometimes you've got to be wrong

[05:12.48] And learn from mistakes

[05:16.73] I live with serenity now

[05:19.72] Not self-righteous hate

[05:22.23] (Bridge)

[07:17.46] (Help me be a channel of Thy peace

[07:20.45] That where there is hatred, I may bring love;

[07:23.96] That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

[07:28.46] That where there is discord, I may bring harmony;

[07:31.96] That where there is error, I may bring truth;

[07:35.71] That where there is doubt, I may bring faith)

[07:38.45] Now that you can see all you have done

[07:44.70] (That where there is despair, I may bring hope;

[07:47.69] That where there are shadows, I may bring light)

[07:49.95] It's time to take that step into the kingdom

[07:55.95] (That where there is sadness, I may bring joy)

[08:00.19] All your sins will help to make you strong

[08:06.46] (That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted.

[08:09.45] That I may seek to understand than to be understood)

[08:11.93] And help you break right through the prison wall

[08:17.94] (That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved,

[08:20.69] For it is by self-forgetting that one finds,

[08:23.44] It is by forgiving that one is forgiven)

[08:26.94] Keep all of me,

[08:30.15] The desires that once burned me deep inside

[08:39.69] Help me live today

[08:42.94] And help to give me grace

[08:45.93] To carry out your way

[08:50.93] I am ready, help me be all I can be

[09:03.68] I am ready, help guide me and keep me free

[09:19.94] (Solo)

[10:54.68] I am responsible when anyone, anywhere

[11:01.42] Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there

[11:07.68] I am responsible when anyone, anywhere

[11:14.93] Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there

[11:40.91] (Outro)
