1. _ Pressing On
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Chorus:
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind;
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing
(Never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong;
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone
(Pressing on, pressing on).
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on . . .
On, pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone
(Pressing on, pressing on).
And I won't sit back and take this anymore
'Cause I'm done with that; I've got one foot out the door,
And to go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.

2. _ My Way Or The Highway...
Should I start this song off with a question?
Or should I say what's on my mind.
(Add a cello here to add a sad impression)
Cause I'm not looking forward to leaving my friends all behind.
I didn't vote (though I'm not proud),
cause I'm Canadian, and I'm not allowed.
Give it a go or throw in the towel.
Stand all alone or swim through the crowd.
No one around to help you decide.
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
Chours:
By the wayside we fell.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
It's your decision, choose it well.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
(repeat)
Decisions we make; life's an election.
Precision we take, seeking direction.
But there's so many lies.
Unsure where we can look.
But, we've got a guide-a really thick handbook.
No one around to help you decide
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
Chorus
Are you with me or against me?
Noticed you're sitting on the fence.
We wondered why you're not cut and dry.
You got to choose our side and live,
or their side and die.
Which hand holds your soul?
Do you want to guess one?
If that scares you to death, may that be your lesson.
It's your decision, make it the best one.
And should I end this song off with a question?

3. _ May the Horse Be With You
Bored in the stable with nothing to do.
We make a game out of throwing our shoes.
Lead me to water, but not to the track.
Show me a saddle and I'll say, "Hey get off my back."
All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor of (we like the flavor) of hay.
We're gonna graze all of our days.
Until they take us away and turn us into glue.
Like Mr. Ed always said...May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the Horse be with you everyday.
I trot by the fillies (they like me of course).
They all dig my band (yea I'm a rocking horse).
You gotta take off your spurs to ride me you know.
If you want me to stop, just yell out a "Whoa".
All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor of (we like the flavor)of hay.
We're gonna graze all of our days.
Until they take us away and turn us into glue.
Like Mr. Ed always said... May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the Horse be with you everyday.

4. _ Those Words Are Not Enough
Feelings, inside my head.
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you.
Understand that it's so hard to tell you,
'cause you already know.
You already know.
When it's twice as hard to realize
that I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own.
And I'm still waiting for things to change.
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up.
Father, how I adore you.
Those words are not enough.
Feelings, inside my head.
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you.
Understand that it's so hard to tell you,
'cause you already know.
Father, know I love you,
and know I am wrong.
Lord, please take my life.
Make me your son.
Make me your son.

5. _ Breakdown
Oh, what a lousy excuse for a car.
One mile to go, but I can't push it that far.
I think I've had enough.
I think I'm giving up.
Saved up my money to buy a new guitar.
Then I got ripped off by the guy who fixed my car.
I think I've had enough.
I think I'm giving up.
Once again life's thrown me a curve,
and it blew up right in my face.
Once again life's rattled my nerves.
Don't you see that I'm stuck in the place?
All because, you're giving me a...
Breakdown
Stuck on the side of the road.
Emotional over-load.
He'll seek and destroy everything that I enjoy.
But, I won't be the one he takes down.
No, I won't breakdown.

6. _ I'm Lion-O
Chillin' at the lair.
Snarf, me, and the twins.
My favorite feline is the one who wore cheetah skins.
Fighting evil, we drink milk, and we purr a lot.
Ask me to cross them, and I would say I'd rather not.
I'd rather not!
Thundercats Wooaah!
Thundercats Whooaah!
I'm Lion-O! I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O! I'm Lion-O!
Sword of Omens, come to me.
Your eye opens so you can see.
Fly from the sheath into my paw.
I am the greatest Thundercat of them all�
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!

Here's the kick off
Hope your not sick of Relient K or all the songs we play
Cause then you'll want to throw our CD away

8. _ Maybe It's Maybeline
People make mistakes.
We find that everything breaks.
And it always is the same: gotta find someone to blame.
And these errors that we make
('cause we're all human earthquakes.)
Yeah, we made the hurricane,
yet we're not the ones to blame?
We point the finger even though its not polite.
We condemn the son of God
(we're hoping two wrongs make a right).
Maybe it is them.
Or, maybe it is me.
Or, maybe its Maybeline.
People make mistakes.
We took the apple from the snake.
And it always is the same: gotta find someone to blame.
Our reputations were at stake,
but the guilt we could not take.
America's gone down the drain.
The president's at fault again?
We point the finger even though it's not polite.
We condemn the son of God
(we're hoping two wrongs make a right).
The truth is, excuses are lame.
Accept consequence.
Accept the blame.
We're all sinners.
We're all unclean.
Maybe we're born with it.
Or maybe it's Maybeline.

9. _ Failure To Excommunicate
It's the principle, it's the issue, that your principal would dismiss you
Because you don't fit into that all-American box
That coffin created for creative thought
It's disgusting, his priorities
And we're entrusting him with authority
His gavel's gone down before he looked in your heart
He finished this race(ism) before he reached the start
Jesus loved the outcast
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven, there'll be a failure to excommunicate
The world just keeps you at arm's length
Every week you work up the strength to fight the flames that are hurled
Let your faith shine right through
You know it's the world versus Jesus and you
It's disgusting, their priorities
And we're entrusting them with authority
Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart
They finished this race(ism) before they reached the start
Jesus loved the outcast
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven, there'll be a failure to excommunicate
(Repeat)
A failure to excommunicate

10. _ What Have You Been Doing Lately?
What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on,
but everything that goes is going wrong.
What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on,
but everything that goes is going wrong.
When I saw Justin he said he was just in visiting on spring break.
I said "What a surprise. You're one of those guys I haven't seen since 1998."
We talked for a while, and I tried to smile as he told me about his college life.
He parties Fridays through Thursdays (but not for birthdays).
He's acquired a taste for Miller Lite.
Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed. (whoa-o-o!)
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.
What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on,
but everything that goes is going wrong.
What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on,
but everything that goes is going wrong.
And then there's Vanessa.
Her life got so messed up,
She just can't get along.
Her emotions they can't cope,
'cause she's lost all hope.
She can't see right from wrong.
Rationality left her (or shrunk with her sweater).
She's a fanatic.
She's over the edge.
She needs Lemon Pledge,
to clear those cobwebs from her attic.
Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed. (whoa-o-o!)
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.
What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on,
but everything that goes is going wrong.

11. _ For The Moments I Feel Faint
Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus.
When the world around you crumbles,
he will be strong.
He will be strong.
I throw up my hands.
"Oh, the impossibilities."
Frustrated and tired,
where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly.
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fears.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think you can, I think you can.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think you can, I think you can.
Gather my insufficiencies and place them in your hands.
Place them in your hands.
Place them in your hands

12. _ Less Is More
Jesus, I pray
Take all my mistakes
Throw them away
Destroy them for my sake
Jesus, I call out 'cause I'm sorry
Because I fall so short of your glory
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
'Cause less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
I pour out myself
All that I am
You love me so much
That you fill me again
And may these words on my heart, on my lips
Somehow mean so much more than this
Jesus, I pray
Know what I'm trying to say
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
'Cause to you less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
I pour out myself, before you, oh Lord
I hold nothing back, 'cause to you less is more
And may these words on my heart on my lips,
Somehow mean so much more than this
Jesus, I pray
Just know what I'm tryin' to say
Jesus, I plead
Please purify me
Make my heart clean
Drench me with your mercy
Jesus, I pray
I love you, I need you
For the rest of my days
I swear I will seek you
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
'Cause less is more.

13. _ Sadie Hawkins Dance
All the girls in the bathroom talking
Who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins?
My ears are burning but I kept on walking
Smile on my face and an air guitar rocking
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
It's always a surprise
There's nothing better
Baby do you like my sweater?
Sitting in the back of my next class napping
Got up gave a speech then bowed to the clapping
Told a funny joke got the whole class laughing
Think I got a tan from the light in which I was basking
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
It's always a surprise
There's nothing better
Baby do you like my sweater?
Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating
I said, "That's one thing I won't be needing"
And since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
(Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning?)
She said, "You're smooth,
and good with talking.
Will ya' with me
to the sadie hawkins?"
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
It's always a surprise
There's nothing better
Baby do you like my sweater?
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
It's always a surprise
There's nothing better
Baby do you like my sweater?

14. _ The Rest Is Up To You
I was just about
to quote Mark Twain
when I realized that
it's all in vain.
A twist of fate,
a twisted look of pain.
To defeat the wheat,
go against the grain.
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know what you've been through.
But there's only so much one can do.
Now the rest is up to you...
the rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
Your mentor's become
your tormentor.
Give him the money,
but is it for rent or
will you get burnt for the countless time?
Your head starts to hurt.
You just close your eyes.
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know what he did to you.
But there's only so much on can do.
The rest is up to you...
the rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
This speech is merely words.
It's even worse because it rhymes.
Give me a minute or your time,
I'll have a minute of your time.
And I can't make this click.
And I can't tattoo your mind.
But you know this ain't no trick.
Take it or leave it all behind.
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
(Gave my advice, done all I can)
The rest is up to you
(It's your life, it's in your hands)
The rest is up to you
(Why don't...)
The rest is up to you
Why don't you try to slow down?
Slow things down.
Slow things down.
'Cause I know you're hurting.
So put down your burdens.
Crucify your doubts and just reach out
Reach out to Jesus.
Embrace him.
Turn your life around to face him.
You'll find mercy,
you'll see
grace, love, and beauty
defined in his
face.
You'll find mercy,
you'll see
grace, love, and beauty
defined in his
face.
