(This is where I'll meet my maker tonight)

So this is it
This is my life
This is my time
It's ending tonight
I made my mistakes
I tried to live right
Stepped out of the darkness
into the light
And when I'm gone
Will they remember
Will they mourn
Will they move on
When my sad songs
the lonely sun
His time has come
his life is done

And tonight [tonight]
We'll celebrate the end
Of this life [this life]
And we'll sing
Yeah (x4)

Whhooaa aaooohh
It's alright this is the night
life beat me again
With open arms
This is the way
The way I will
meet my maker tonight

And on my grave
What will it say?
"Here lies another soul
that was saved"
So please don't cry
just sleep at night
And I will wait on the other side

And tonight [tonight]
we'll celebrate the end
Of this life [this life]
And we'll sing
Yeah (x4)

Whooaahh ooohhh
It's alright
This is the night
life beat me again
With open arms
This is the way
The way I will
meet my maker tonight

And tonight
We'll celebrate the end
Of this life
And we'll sing
Yeah (x4)

Whooaaa ooohh
It's alright
This is a night
like we've began
With open arms
This is the way
The way I'll
meet my maker tonight

Whooaaa... (x11)


Lost and broken
hopeless and lonely
smiling on the outside
I hurt beneath my skin
my eyes are fading
my soul is bleeding
I'll try to make it seem okay
but my faith is wearing thin

So help me heal these wounds
they've been open for way too long
help me fill this soul
even though this is not your fault
that I'm open and I'm bleeding, all over your brand new rug
and need some one to help me sow them up

I only wanted a magazine
I only wanted a movie screen
I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed

And now my mind is an open book
and now my heart is an open wound
and now my life is an open soul for all to see

But help heal these wounds
they've been open for way to long
help me fill this soul even though this is not your fault
that I'm open and I'm bleeding, all over your brand new rug
and I need someone to help me
so u come along, I push you away, and kick and scream for you to stay
cause I need someone to help me
oh I need someone to help me
to help me heal these wounds they've been open for way too long
help me fill this soul even though this is not your fault
that I'm open and I'm bleeding, all over your brand new rug and
I need someone to help me sow them
I need someone to help me fill them
I need someone to help me close them up
