Powerless Lyrics

Verse 1:

It was 2003; we were trying to forget
About the towers and planes, and all the fears and the threats
We new we had to be strong; killing depression was vital
We turned our Nickleback up, discussed American Idol

Put our focus on progress, kept on running our race
We just reached for the stars; we sent a crew into space
February the first, our best of technology
Was turned in just a few minutes to flaming bits of debris

Columbia and those seven, thousands on 9/11
People grieving in silence or singing songs about heaven
Though we’re scared to admit it, we all know it inside
At the end of our limits, we all have nowhere to hide

So we cover emotion, stay distracted and busy
But we’re just working for tokens, build a house for a visit
And we wonder why is it that we feel insecure?
These days we don’t feel safe; maybe we never were, huh

Hook:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Heads high, but our hearts in canyons
Are we under a spell?
Are we too scared to tell?
Alright, right, right, right
The best days still fade in the twilight
Stow our doubts in a shell
But we don’t hide very well

Oooh, Oooh we’re so powerless (4x)

Verse 2:

I see the man in the mirror, scared of making mistakes
Wondering if he’ll make it, if he’s got what it takes
Will he make enough money? Will he barely get by?
Will he have to give up on his dream, watching it die?

Is he ready for kids? Can he manage a home?
Will he be there for his wife, or will she struggle alone?
What if sickness…what if disaster…what if…
Is there anything that he can prevent?

No guarantees, but I’ve got dreams
No constant light, but I’ve got gleams
No promise that I’ll make it through the night
The only thing I have for sure is Christ
Guess that’s the beauty of the powerless
Made to rest in Him, the only place where power is
That’s the beauty of the powerless
Find our hope in Him, the only place where power is

Hook 2x
