    I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
    I've lost sense of time and all seasons
    I feel I've been beaten down
    By the words of [GB] men who have no grounds
    I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
    When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
    Forked tongues in bitter mouths
    Can drive a man to bleed from inside
    out

    What if you did?
    What if you lied?
    What if I avenge?
    What if eye for an eye?

    I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
    Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
    Human pride sings a vengeful song
    Inspired by the times you've been walked on
    My stage is shared by many millions
    Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
    We are one We are strong
    The more you hold us down the more we
    [Ex-Jdubs] press on

    What if you did?
    What if you lied?
    What if I avenge?
    What if eye for an eye?

    I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
    'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
    So I'll just ask a question

    What if?

    What if your words could be judged like a crime?

    Joel,

    I'm the grandmommy that likes Creed -
    especially the lyrics - Yes, the above so applicable to the GB and what they do to people. Even some of the posters who don't care for their music can agree with the above. Thanks.

    Great lyric Joel. Thanks for sharing. What a parallel.
    Wendy, We listen to Mirrorball all the time. To go to sleep to and other things.

    Thanx Thinkers Wife n ZazuWitts,
    The way the song is sung...with a tone of anger in his voice(ya know the righteous anger you're allow ta have ) makes it say what we feel all the more so...than just the thoughts of the lyrics. Thanx again

    Guess what?
    Creed won best alternative group at the American Music Awards tonight!

    Beatin' out Limp Bizkit n Chile Peppers

    Wholesome lyrics can win out over the popular trash lyrics of the others ...there is hope!

    Wendy,
    Sounds to me like you might be talking from experience. We'll have to try that one.
    Blushing? And you with three kids and me none! Haa! Bet you could teach me a thing or two.
