about

One of my personal favorites on the album; the lyrics were written by my wife, Deanna.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Do you know how it feels
To be really town apart?
Yeah, I’m sure you do,
Just look into your heart.

Into every crevice
Into every vein;
Look for the happiness
For you will not miss the pain.

VERSE 2:
Do you know how it feels
After years and months and days?
After all that carefree innocence
Has long past into haze…

Now it’s time to fight,
To overcome the dark,
To see a simple rainbow,
To try not miss the mark.

CHORUS:
You may ask yourself, “Is it really worth it?”
You may ask yourself sometimes…
To take a stand upon that line…
Is it really worth your time?

VERSE 3:
Jesus on the Cross, yeah,
He paid it all in full.
Yeah, it’s really worth it,
Because He made me whole!

To see the brilliant colors,
To small the springtime rain,
To hear those angels singing,
Yeah, it’s worth the pain.

Look over the edge;
Look to eternity –
Is it really worth it?
Is it worth it to be free?
