I used to dream that I could fly
Just above the whispered clouds, beneath the somber sky
I had a dream I was alive
I dreamt that love would never die, goodbye
Dreams were cheap and hope was easy (so light)
The forgeries of life deceiving (so bright)
And as I glided to the ground (so long)
Calcified, the concrete weighed me down (cruel world)
Your wings are holding up the sky
Dear God, I had dreamt that I could fly
Alkaline the burning frost, has blistered deep beneath my bones
And winter spat its hatred, cold and coiled, black and deep
As it called me ever further, where evil burns and never sleeps
I once had prayers that found no words, fragile things I've never spoken
Through my lips passed eulogies for all the oaths that I have broken
And still the ghost of hope was haunting, through the dark to save the living
And still beneath it all I dreamt that God could be forgiving
Your wings are holding up the sky
Dear God, I dreamt that I could fly
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
I am the worst of all things here
My crooked, black, and lying heart still spits its bitter fear
And each and every sparrow
They flutter to the ground before they die
So please God don't forget me
''I have been with you all along, you have not noticed me.'
Nervosa now felt more ashamed than ever before.
'Why would you still care enough to save me
even after seeing the horrible things I have done?
Why do you remain here even now?' She asked, sobbing.
'Because, here is where you are,' the Lamb said softly,
'And I long to be with you.''
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
To Christ, who won for sinners' grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore
The lyrics THE BEGINNING of SHOWBREAD is also present in the album Nervosa (2008)
Showbread è una rock band cristiana americana originaria di Guyton, Georgia. Formatasi nel 1997, il gruppo ha subito numerose modifiche nella formazione nel corso degli anni, pur mantenendo i due membri fondatori, Josh Dies e Patrick Porter. Dies è il principale compositore e direttore creativo di Showbread, garantendo una coerenza stilistica nonostante le variazioni della band. Fino al 2007, la band ha avuto due cantanti principali, tra cui Ivory Mobley. Josh Dies è anche autore dei romanzi "The Spinal Cord Perception", "The Insect" e "Nevada". Showbread ha attirato l'attenzione dei media nel 2006 quando un video fan per il brano "Dead By Dawn" è stato pubblicato su YouTube. Il video, visto dalla band e condiviso sul loro sito web, ha scatenato controversie riguardo ai temi lirici di Showbread. Secondo l'ex chitarrista Matt Davis, il nome del gruppo deriva da "un riferimento biblico che Gesù ha usato per dimostrare come il cristianesimo non sia tanto legato alle regole quanto all'amore".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
