WAR IN THE HEAVENS
By Mychael John Thomas
One of GODs elite…Not content to be
Seeking to be GOD himself he tried to take control
Even till this day since he was
Thrown from grace and
CHORUS
War in the Heavens…The Angels fight
Michael defending the children of the Light
Satan's rebellion against the throne
Jesus is coming to crush him like a stone
Loosed up on the Earth…Bringing only hurt
Seeking to exalt himself he’s only king of lies
Powerless to all of those
Who realize it
CHORUS
SOLO
Till the end of time he’ll be confusing every soul
No one will escape except
The ones who know there’s

MESSAGE OF THE DRUMS
By Mychael John Thomas
I hear the rumbling…Messages proclaimed
Spreading through the villages…Like a ravenous flame
Danger is up ahead…There is no escape
The storm is here…Do we realize too late?
CHORUS
The Evil runs amok…The Evil runs amok
Consuming everyone in it’s path
Pray for the light and look…Pray for the light and look
To the sky…Our Salvation is at hand
I’ve seen the children play…Oblivious to sorrow
Live and love in the moment…Like there’s no tomorrow
How did we get so far from the song that heals the spirit?
Pound a warning beat…Maybe some pure soul still hear it
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Singing Hey ay yah…Hey ay yah
Come and help Your people through the seige
Singing Hey ay yah…Hey ay yah
Faith preserve the ones who will believe
CHORUS
CHORUS
I hear the rumbling…Messages proclaimed
Spreading through the villages…Like a ravenous flame

SOLDIER
By Mychael John Thomas
I button up my uniform and march out in the street
I got my flag…It ain’t no drag
A privilege to serve my country knowing gladly I would
Give my life…To make it right
CHORUS
My home is covered by the stars and stripes
My heart my passion is this land
I learned about freedom in a different time
It’s truth and love I understand…
And I’m a free man
They spit on me in Vietnam and now Afghanistan
But I don’t care…I’ll still be there
Because I’m the only hope for freedom…I defend the weak
And the oppressed…They get my best
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I remember one great man saying
“Ask not what you’re country can do for you…
Ask what you can do for your country”
Even today these words are no less true…
It’s what we’re meant to do (I am a soldier…I am a soldier)
“Pledge of Allegiance” - recitation
CHORUS
My soul is covered by the Guiding Light
My heart my passion is His land
I learned of Salvation with a different mind
His Truth and Love I understand…
And I'm a free man…
(My soul is covered by the Guiding Light
My heart my passion is His land)
Baby I’m a free man
(I learned of Salvation with a different mind
His Truth and Love I understand…)
Let my freedom ring...Let my freedom ring
Let my freedom ring...Baby I’m a free man...Yes I am
I'm a free man...Oh Baby I'm a
(Free Man) Free Man...Yes I am
Oh baby I'm a (Free Man) Free Man...Free Man
Baby I'm a (FREE MAN)

THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
By Mychael John Thomas
Most people see things black or white
But I think that life is more shades of gray
And we all know if someone is looking for a fight
They are surely going to find a way
CHORUS
I’m looking for stability
(Gotta get away) From all this insanity
I want to learn more than what I know
Caught up in the pursuit of dreams
(Day to day) I’m finding the truth its seems
Is somewhere in the middle of the road
I can’t spend all my time makin’ such a fuss
Over all of the little things I can’t change
The real picture is bigger than every one of us
And I believe that Loves true path is straight
CHORUS
I’m looking toward eternity
(And I try) To embrace the ambiguity
(Not troubled) by everything (I don’t know)
All my visions are clearly seen
(Second sight) In the balance of (everything)
(So I’m walking the middle of the road)
CHORUS
The middle of the road (I’m looking toward eternity)
And I try (To embrace the ambiguity)
And I’m not troubled by everything I don’t…
(Not troubled by everything I don’t know)
or anything I don’t know
(All my visions are clearly seen)
All my visions are second sight
(In the balance of everything)
In the balance (I’m walking the middle of the road)
I’m walking the middle…The middle of the road
(I’m walking the middle of the road)
I’m walking the middle…The middle of the road
(I’m walking the middle of the road)

CHANGE OF THE GUARD
By Mychael John Thomas
Feeling like a political prisoner…Captive to ideals
Exiled by the power of opinion…Now it’s time to get real
New is coming…I hope it’s something
That’s good for us all
Been so long since I felt strong enough to
Rise up after the fall
CHORUS
It’s just a change of the guard
It doesn’t mean we have to change who we are
You’re dealt a hand then you play your cards
With the change of the guard
Not listening to lies and rhetoric…Just looking for truth
At times it’s the lesser of two evils…What else can you do?
Seize the moment…Keep your mind open
Take every chance you can get
Possibilities…Opportunities will
Happen…We ain’t done yet
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Give ear to every voice…Then make your own choice
Don’t even try to please everyone…It can’t be done
Just live every day as it comes
SOLO
CHORUS
It’s just a change of the guard
It can be easy if we don’t make it hard
Let’s pull together or we won’t get far
With the change of the guard
Let’s pull together or we won’t get far
With the change of the guard

EPIC
By Mychael John Thomas
I. PEACE LOVE WARRIOR
Peace and Love…Peace and Love…Warrior
If you wanna go to war
You gotta know who the enemy is
When it leads to death and destruction
And it’s over I can tell you this
The real battle is good versus evil
It’s a struggle till the end of time
The only victory you’ll ever have
Is to win the conflict in your mind
CHORUS
I am a peace love warrior
I don’t fight with bullets or bombs
I serve a GOD of forevermore
My heart is loyal to the Kingdom Come
If you want to know your own spirit
You gotta go to the bottom of the well
It’s up to you to shape who you are
You make your choices and time will tell
You can’t decide in the heat of the moment
Keep your passions under control
Look for your center in everything
Don’t let the anger steal your soul
CHORUS
I am a peace love warrior
I don’t fight with bullets or bombs
I serve the GOD of forevermore
My heart is loyal to the Kingdom Come
BRIDGE
Pray without ceasing…Relate without being
Escape without fleeing…Hide without concealing
See without judging…Walk without trudging
Submit without kneeling…Love with all feeling
SOLO
Break Down
Peace and Love…Peace and Love…Warrior
CHORUS
I am a peace love warrior
I don’t fight with bullets or bombs
I serve the GOD of forevermore
My heart is loyal to the Kingdom Come
CHORUS
(Peace and Love…Peace and Love…Warrior)
II. IN THE GRAND SCHEME
Not sure if you really believe in true love?
Never seen it the way it ought to be
You watch everybody else meet someone
But you’re still waiting to see
You don’t wanna be a naysayer
But you can’t say you’re a daily prayer
Heaven there to help you when you waver
CHORUS
Who are we in this great big universe?
Eternal questions overwhelming finite minds
Does someone really care every time we hurt?
We need an epiphany of the mind
To put us over the line (put us over the line)
So many hopes and dreams we are giving up
Exhausting our faith (Revive us again)
Still hoping that love will send you the one
Who will be your forever friend
You don’t wanna be a night player
Alone now but sooner or later
We all see the truth of the matter
CHORUS
Who are we in this great big universe?
Eternal questions overwhelming finite minds
Does someone really care every time we hurt?
We need an epiphany of the mind
To put us over the line (put us over the line)
III. DO WHAT YOU CAN
Do What You Can…Do What You Can...Do What You Can
Every day…Lonely faces on the street
Feel the need inside
Lead the way…To a place where we can meet
And be freed this time
CHORUS
You gotta feel that burn…Compassion in you heart
It ain’t something you can learn just pick a place and start
Another day will turn…You can play a part
And Heaven knows the difference you make
(Do What You Can…Do What You Can...Do What You Can) 2 times
Crazy times…Fear and anger everywhere
Hard to care at all
Still we find a total stranger just appears
Then we hear the call
CHORUS
BRIDGE
What’s it all about? Just why are we here
Would You still the doubt? Help me see it clear---ly
SOLO
CHORUS 1
CHORUS
You gotta change your mind about the way you love
And you got to take the time to really know someone
And when you read the signs…You will see it done
And Heaven knows the difference you make
(Do What You Can…Do What You Can...Do What You Can) 4 times
IV. TREATY
Where can we agree?…
Tell me what you need
What can I give to bring you around?
How do we begin?…
To find a way we both win
So we can finally lay our hatred down
CHORUS
Working on a treaty…Maybe you would meet me
Half Way…Could we let this conflict die?
I’m working on a treaty for a different way of being
Seeing eye to eye…We could fly
In the heat of the moment…
When hearts just won’t be open
Things will escalate and lives be lost
Try to put it in reverse…
Before it gets much worse
You know love will gladly pay the cost
CHORUS
I’m working on a treaty…Maybe you would meet me
Half Way…Could we let this conflict die?
I’m working on a treaty for a different way of being
Seeing eye to eye…We could fly (repeat CHORUS)
We can be peacemakers…We can be Sons…
We are the caretakers…Of the message of the One…
Working on a Treaty...I'm working on a Treaty
Working on a Treaty...Um Hmmm

PEACE
By Mychael John Thomas
Eirene…Eireneuo…Eirene…Eireneuo
In this world of conflicts…From where do they arise
Is it not from passion and desire that fills our eyes
Still there is a calm for us if only we will pray
Listen for His voice and you can hear Messiah saying
CHORUS
Peace I give to you…Give to you My peace
I give to you…Give to you…Not as the world may know
Follow me and I will show you peace
In His word he tells us that wars will never cease
Until the world has ended and his plan is made complete
Only in His armor can we stand until the end
Defending with the words of Jesus saying we can live in
CHORUS
Peace I give to you…Give to you My peace
I give to you…Give to you…Not as the world may know
Follow me and I will show you
Eirene…Eireneuo…Eirene…Eireneuo
SOLO
There’s a war inside you from which you can’t escape
You only have two choices and one of them you must take
You can choose the one who came to destroy & steal & kill
Or you can have eternal life by accepting Jesus will say
CHORUS
Eirene…Eireneuo…Eirene…Eireneuo (repeat)
Peace...
