Track #11 - Yesterday's Changes

Yesterday's changes is the last track on our new album. This song reflects back to moments throughout the bands life that have been monumental. It ends very honestly depicting that it is God who makes one strong. God working through our past experiences, not just the moments themselves.

You do not want to miss the ENDING of the song on the new Album! We had a version of this on our demo CD, but it doesn't compare.



Yesterday's Changes

V
Used to be twenty-three
Used to be eighteen
Now that's gone, we've moved on, still the moments they live on

Used to be everything
Used to be nothing
Now that's gone, we've moved on, still some moments they live on

Chorus
Yesterday's changes do play on
Just to remind me what makes me strong

V
Used to think obscene
Used to think naive
Now that's gone, we've moved, still the moments they live on

Used to think no one dies
Used to always think blue skies
But now that's gone and we've moved on
Still some moments they live on

Chorus
Yesterday's changes do play on
Just to remind me what makes me strong

B
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
You make me strong.


You make me strong.

Track #10 - Saves the Day

1 Day until the Album relase and party for "All the World!"

http://www.parallaxviewband.com

Saves the Day


V
Jesus the everlasting God
Reached out from Heaven and pursued
The heavy hearts and wounded souls
of every nation, tribe, and tongue

Spikes were driven in his hands
A crown of thorns placed on his head
He gave his blood for all to see
And bore the sin of you and me
C
Our God is a God who reigns
A God who saves
Our God he made the way
Our God he saved the day
Our God is a God who reigns
A God who saves
Our God he paved the way
Our God He saved the day!!!

V
He spoke the truth for all to hear
Repent and believe the good news
He healed the sick and calmed the storms
Foretold his death as God's command

Three days they laid him in the grave
Jesus was crushed on our behalf
His blood now covers you and me
He conquered death so now we sing
C
Our God is a God who reigns
A God who saves
Our God he made the way
Our God he saved the day
Our God is a God who reigns
A God who saved
Our God he paved the way
Our God He saved the day!!!

Bridge:
(and) Now He sits at the right hand of power
Raise up your heads, redemption is here
let your heart confess
C
Our God is a God who reigns
A God who saves
Our God he made the way
Our God he saved the day
Our God is a God who reins
A God who saves
Our God he paved the way
Our God He saved the day!!!

Track #9 - Goodbye to Me

Goodbye To Me

Note: Very last chorus is slightly different than the rest. . .

V
Follow your dreams, is what they said to me
In their suits and ties with money wads by their side
So I chased my pride, and built my kingdom high
Then watched it tumble to the ground
What a beautiful sound


C
Goodbye to me
I'm letting go
So the world can see
I'm better now
Where are you now
I'm on the ground
Wish you could see
I'm better now


V
Hello old friends. So we meet again
But I'm not the same man, I'll take a stand
What's past is past.. What's been has been
But I'm not turning round..
Until they put me in the ground


C
Goodbye to me
I'm letting go
So the world can see
I'm better now
Where are you now
I'm on the ground
Wish you could see
I'm better now


B
The winds they blew, right through you
Old memories, they went too
But, I'm finding my strength in You
Cuz You make all things new


C
Goodbye to me
I'm letting go
So the world can see
I'm better now
Where are you now
I'm on the ground
Wish you could see
I'm better now

Goodbye to me
I'm letting go
So the world can see
I'm better now
World's upside down
You came around
It all fell into place
To make me better off now

Track #8 - My only Hope

This is the most depressing yet hopeful song on the entire CD.

My Only Hope

V1
Everything I know changes down life's road
Everything I do, it changes too

V2
Everything it seem is changing around me
You and I can see, that's everything but me

Chorus
I can't change. I stay the same. No, I can't change. My sin remains.

V3
Everyone I know, changes down life's road
Except the darkness in my soul
It takes hold and won't let go

Chorus
I can't change. I stay the same. No, I can't change. My sin remains.
I've tried and tried, but I fail every time.
I can't change. My sin it stains.

Bridge
You can change me
You can save me
You can raise me
Jesus, save me
You're my only hope

Track #7 - We Are the Few

We are the Few

V
Wake up. . .
Rise up from your grave
To hear the One. . . Thats calling out your name
Its time to go. . . stand for what is right
its time to fight. . . .

C
We are the ones
We are the few
We will bring them back to You
We are the ones
We are the free
We will bring you victory

C
Don't give up
When life gets tough
Christ has come... God gave His only son
He took the cross...and carried your weight too
Don't give up
He's counting on you

Take a stand
Rise up to this fight
The battle's on.. put your armor on
It's time to go...before its too late
Until we die...
We fight

C
We are the ones
We are the few
We will bring them back to You
We are the ones
We are the free
We will bring you victory

B
So open up your eyes
Let the sleeping giant rise

C
We are the ones
We are the few
We will bring them back to You
We are the ones
We are the free
We will bring you victory

Track #6 - FLY

FLY was the first song we ever wrote as Parallax View. We categorize these lyrics as silly yet fun. This song quickly became a crowd favorite and we are glad to put it on our first full length album. We think you will enjoy the way it makes you smile. :-)

FLY
V
I see you standing next to me
You’re always watching over me
So I step to the left, and I slide to the right
Then I jump around in circles and clap in time
Then I bounce to the back, and I’m pushed to the front
Just so they’ll see who lives in me.
This is the best time x 2

C
If the sky is falling, then I don’t mind
‘Cuz when you’re with me I feel just fine
And if the world comes crashing down tonight
I’ll Fly

(REPEAT COURSE)

V
You seem to be chasing after me
No matter where I turn you’re always there with me
So I lift up my hands and I shout to the air
And my lips declare you’re the Lord of this land
Then I fall to my knees, and my heart it decrees
That you will always be the God of me
This is the best time x 2

C
If the sky is falling, then I don’t mind
‘Cuz when you’re with me I feel just fine
And if the world comes crashing down tonight
I’ll Fly

(REPEAT COURSE)

Track # 3 - Come With Me

8 Days until the release of "All the World." Here is a peak at the lyrics of track #3.

http://www.parallaxviewband.com

V1
I've tried to be real to the things I believe but my conscious deceives
I've tried to be real to rid this disease that's making you bleed
I love the words you say to me through thoughts, through love, through the things I see
I know you're always here with me
I want to see you

Pre-Chorus
I want to know you more
I want to see you

Chorus
Come with me, make me open myself to you
Come with me, I want to see

V2
Each day I travel on this road to a fork leading here where I've never been before
Every moment I find something fresh
I'm amazed in my shame how you've something to gain
I love the beauty that I see through waves, in trees, things surrounding me
I know you're always here with me
I want to see you

I want to know you more
I want to see you

Chorus
Come with me, make me open myself to you
Come with me, I want to see
Come with me, make me run to your arms again
Come with me, I want to be free

Watched the waters part

Down by the Lake
When with some loaves
He fed them all

Dead Lazarus
In the ground he laid
and by His word was
Raised?

Our God is STRONG
Our God is HERE

Same yesterday and today

Yes He is here
in this place
We'll rise again
By His grace
