Said in Red

Blood Sweat Tears and Pain.

From WYKKYD AMBITIONS

The Great American Novel

By Larry Norman.

(All Lyrics by Larry Norman. Music and arrangement by WYKKYD AMBITIONS.)

I was born and raised an orphan in a land that once was free

In a land that poured its love out on the moon;

and I grew up in the shadows of your silos filled with grain,

but you never helped to fill my empty spoon.

And when I was ten you murdered law with courtroom politics,

And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth;

But I know you better now and I don't fall for all your tricks,

And you've lost the one advantage of my youth.

You kill a black man at midnight just for talking to your daughter,

Then you make his wife your mistress and you leave her without water;

And the sheet you wear upon your face is the sheet your children sleep on,

At every meal you say a prayer; you don't believe but still you keep on.

And your money says in God we trust,

But it's against the law to pray in school;

You say we beat the Russians to the moon,

And I say you starved your children to do it.

You are far across the ocean but the war is not your own,

And while you're winning theirs, you're gonna lose the one at home;

Do you really think the only way to bring about the peace

Is to sacrifice your children and kill all your enemies?

The politicians all make speeches while the news men all take note,

And they exaggerate the issues as they shove them down our throats;

Is it really up to them whether this country sinks or floats?

Well I wonder who would lead us if none of us would vote.

Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped from whispering through the fence,

You know every move I make, or is that just coincidence?

Will you try to make my way of life a little less like jail,

If I promise to make tapes and slides and send them through the mail.

And your money says in God we trust,

But it's against the law to pray in school;

You say we beat the Russians to the moon,

And I say you starved your children to do it.

You say all men are equal, all men are brothers,

Then why are the rich more equal than others?

Don't ask me for the answer, I've only got one:

    That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the Son

Secret Ambition

By Michael W Smith.

(lyrics by Michael W Smith, all music is a completely new arrangement, by WYKKYD AMBITIONS.)

Young man, up on the hillside

Teaching new ways

Each word, winning them over

Each heart, a kindled flame

Old men watch from the outside

Guarding their prey

Threatened by the voice of a paragon

Leading their lambs away

Leading them far away

Nobody knew His secret ambition

Nobody knew His claim to fame

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition

He tore the holy veil away

Questioning those in powerful positions

Running to those who called His name

But nobody knew His secret ambition

Was to give His life away

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

His rage, shaking the temple

His word to the wise

His word to the wise

His hand, healing on the seventh day

His love wearing no disguise

But some say, "Death to the radical

He's way out of line"

Some say, "Praised be the miracle

God sends a blessed sign,

A blessed sign for troubled times"

But nobody knew His secret ambition

Was to give His life away

Nobody knew His secret ambition

Nobody knew His claim to fame

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition (tore away)

He tore the holy veil away

Questioning those in powerful positions

Running to those who called His name (nobody knew)

But nobody knew His secret ambition

Was to give His life away,

YESHUA is His Name!

Music by WYKKYD AMBITIONS)

Can't you see my tears

My blood falling for you

Can't you feel my heart

Dying for you breaking for you

No,

Don't turn away,

Don't turn your back on me

Don't throw my love away

I,

I have braved the night

Broke those chains of hell for you

I

I gave to you my life

Built my kingdom all for you

Please,

Don't turn away

No,

Don't turn your back on me

Don't throw my love away

You,

You're lost there in your night

The weight of sin is killing you

Death and darkness call

The flames of hell destroying you

Don't throw my love away.

Can't you see my tears

My blood falling for you

Can't you feel my heart

Dying for you breaking for you

No,

Don't turn away,

Don't turn your back on me

Don't throw my love away

I,

I have braved the night

Broke those chains of hell for you

I

I gave to you my life

Built my kingdom all for you

Please,

Don't turn away

No,

Don't turn your back on me

Don't throw my love away .
