"Where Has the Time Gone?"
Where has the time gone?
 It doesn't feel like its been that long
 I don't know when
 I don't know how
 But its funny how everything falls apart
  
 Whether God is my witness
 or he is my friend
 Doesn't really matter I don't want this to end
  
  
 So tell me, where has the time gone?
 Tell me, has it really been this long
 Tell me as I write this song
  
  
 Has it really been that long,
 Since you said your farewells
 Even after all this time
 the pain of your betrayal, still dwells
  
  
 (Chorus)Where has the time gone?
 It doesn't feel like its been that long
 I don't know when
 I don't know how
 But its funny how everything falls apart
  
  
 Whether God is my witness
 or he is my friend
 Doesn't really matter I don't want this to end
  
  
 Even when I'm alone
 I can't break my heart of stone
 This empty bliss
 is something I will never miss
  
  
 Day by day nothing changes
 but now I feel like I am the strangest
 I don't know when
 I don't know how
 but tell me, where has the time gone?
  
 I know I haven't been forgotten 
 but sometimes I wish  I wasn't so rotten
 and at times I wish, I was never begotten
  
 At times I want to cut and bleed
 but I know I can't
 because I have to many hearts to feed
  
 Tell me, where has the love gone?
 I feel all alone
 as I listen to the endless drone
  
 When did I become the savior,
 now I am the one, that stands between
 them and the God they have never seen
  
 Now I keep them safe
 when you all lose faith
  
 You talk about your morals
 and get lost in your quarrels
 About all the things that are right or wrong
  
 But as you all argue
 you lose your values
 The things you based yourself upon
  
 When you judge them
 about whether they're gay or straight
 I hope you have, accepted your fate
 Do you even know, if your heart's okay?
  
 As you get lost in your petty, little fights
 I'm out there just trying to save their lives
  
 So when you gather in your circle
 and go around and give each other high fives
 I hope you know that they might be cutting, with their knives
 ending their lives
  
 Words hurt, as I'm sure you all know
 They sting, as I'm right here singing
 I want to give up, but I can't stop believing
 in this God that's supposedly leading
  
 Can you tell me now,
 how I became their savior
 well its because of your wretched behavior
  
 As God as my witness
 or as my friend
 I have a message that he asked me to send
  
 We used to believe
 that our hearts would be the key
 but God! Why can't you all see?
 That this isn't the way that life is supposed to be
  
 We aren't the ones that are supposed to judge
 I swear! Does God have to give you a nudge?
 To love all his children
 but even then
  
 You cut them down
 and they make no sound!
  
 As God as my witness 
 or as my friend
 I'm not giving up till my message has been sent
  
 When did I become, the voice of reason
 leave me to hang, accuse me of treason
 I don't care
 if God's standing there in the end
 because he's given me hearts to mend
  
 He's opened my eyes
 and given me his heart
 now all I'm asking 
 is for a little equality,
 wrap them in serenity,
 and love them for eternity
  
 They are your sisters and your brothers
 just like you they all have mothers
  
 I remember a time
 where we loved all our siblings
 Don't tell me that was all a dream
 now tell me where has the time gone?
