Creed "What's This Life For" Acoustic guitar cover

My covers of Creed have done pretty well on Youtube, so I thought I would share them in a blog. 

What's This Life For 

Creed 

Hurray for 
A child that makes it through 
If there's any way 
Because the answer lies in you 
They're laid to rest 
Before they've known just what to do 
Their souls are lost 
Because they could never find 

What's this life for 
What's this life for 
What's this life for 
What's this life for 

I see your soul, it's kind of gray 
You see my heart, you look away 
You see my wrist, I know your pain 
I know your purpose on your plane 
Don't say a last prayer 

Because you could never find 

What's this life for 
What's this life for 
What's this life for 
What's this life for 

But they ain't here anymore 
Don't have to settle the score 
Cause we all live 
Under the reign of one king 

But they ain't here anymore, 
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score 
'Cause we all live under the reign, 
I said, you know, of 

One king 
One king 
One king 

But they ain't here anymore, 
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score 
'Cause we all live under the reign 
I said, you know, of 

One king 
One king 
One king 

But they ain't here anymore, 
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score 
Cause we all live under the reign 
Of one king

Creed ''One'' Acoustic Guitar Cover

 

One 

Creed 

Affirmative may be justified 
Take from one give to another 
The goal is to be unified 
Take my hand be my brother 
The payment silenced the masses 
Sanctified by oppression 
Unity took a backseat 
Sliding further into regression 

One, oh one, 
The only way is one 
One, oh one, 
The only way is one 

I feel angry I feel helpless 
Want to change the world yeah 
I feel violent I feel alone 
Don't try and change my mind no 

Society blind by color 
Why hold down one to raise another 
Discrimination now on both sides 
Seeds of hate blossom further 
The world is heading for mutiny 
When all we want is unity 
We may rise and fall, but in the end 
We'll meet our fate together 

One, oh one, 
The only way is one 
One, oh one, 
The only way is one 

I feel angry I feel helpless 
Want to change the world yeah 
I feel violent I feel alone 
Don't try and change my mind no 

I feel angry I feel helpless 
Want to change the world yeah 
I feel violent I feel alone 
Don't try and change my mind no 

I feel angry I feel helpless 
Want to change the world yeah 
I feel violent I feel alone 
Don't try and change my mind no 

I feel angry I feel helpless 
Want to change the world yeah 
I feel violent I feel alone 
Don't try and change my mind

Creed "Higher" 

Higher 

Creed 

When dreaming I'm guided to another world 
Time and time again 
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place 
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape 
From the life I live when I'm awake 
So let's go there 
Let's make our escape 
Come on, let's go there 
Let's ask can we stay? 

Can you take me higher? 
To the place where blind men see 
Can you take me higher? 
To the place with golden streets 

Although I would like our world to change 
It helps me to appreciate 
Those nights and those dreams 
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights 
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same 
The only difference is 
To let love replace all our hate 
So let's go there 
Let's make our escape 
Come on, let's go there 
Let's ask can we stay? 

Can you take me higher? 
To the place where blind men see 
Can you take me higher? 
To the place with golden streets 

So let's go there 
So let's go there 
Come on, let's go there 
Let's ask can we stay? 

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time 
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams 
And make them mine 

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams 
And make them mine 

Can you take me higher? 
To the place where blind men see 
Can you take me higher? 
To the place with golden streets 

Can you take me higher? 
To the place where blind men see 
Can you take me higher? 
To the place with golden streets

Creed "My Own Prison"

 

My Own Prison 

Creed 

A court is in session, a verdict is in 
No appeal on the docket today 
Just my own sin 
The walls are cold and pale 
The cage made of steel 
Screams fill the room 
Alone I drop and kneel 
Silence now the sound 
My breath the only motion around 
Demons cluttering around 
My face showing no emotion 
Shackled by my sentence 
Expecting no return 
Here there is no penance 
My skin begins to burn 

So I held my head up high 
Hiding hate that burns inside 
Which only fuels their selfish pride 
(And I said oh) All held captive 
Out from the sun 
A sun that shines on only some 
We the meek are all in one 

I hear a thunder in the distance 
See a vision of a cross 
I feel the pain that was given 
On that sad day of loss 
A lion roars in the darkness 
Only he holds the key 
A light to free me from my burden 
And grant me life eternally 

Should have been dead 
On a Sunday morning 
Banging my head 
No time for mourning 
Ain't got no time 

Should have been dead 
On a Sunday morning 
Banging my head 
No time for mourning 
Ain't got no time 

So I held my head up high 
Hiding hate that burns inside 
Which only fuels their selfish pride 
(And I said oh) All held captive 
Out from the sun 
A sun that shines on only some 
We the meek are all in one 

I cry out to God 
Seeking only his decision 
Gabriel stands and confirms 
I've created my own prison 
I cry out to God 
Seeking only his decision 
Gabriel stands and confirms 
I've created my own prison 

So I held my head up high 
Hiding hate that burns inside 
Which only fuels their selfish pride 
(And I said oh) All held captive 
Out from the sun 
A sun that shines on only some 
We the meek are all in one 

So I held my head up high 
Hiding hate that burns inside 
Which only fuels their selfish pride 
(And I said oh) We're held captive (I created) 
Out from the sun (I created) 
A sun that shines on only some (I created) 
We the meek are all in one (I created my own prison) 

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning 
Banging my head 
No time for mourning 
Ain't got no time
