[Verse 1]
I stand upon this mountain high,
Wind in my hair, tears in my eyes,
Singing words I barely know,
But with a voice so deep and low.
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeahhhhh…
I stretch my arms beyond what’s sane,
Like a bird who’s feelin’ pain!
[Chorus]
With arms unreasonably wiiiiide!
I scream my truth to the sky-y-y!
These metaphors don’t make sense!
But they sound so damn intense!
[Verse 2]
A leather vest, my soul exposed,
Poetic nonsense—no one knows,
Am I enlightened or just confused?
Either way, my shirt stays loose!
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeahhhhh…
I stare into the camera lens,
Like Jesus rockin’ stage presence!
[Chorus]
With arms unreasonably wiiiiide!
Like I’m reaching for God too high!
Are these lyrics deep or dumb?
Doesn’t matter—here comes the drums!
[EPIC DRUM BREAK, GUITAR SOLO, RANDOM “YEAHHH”s IN THE BACKGROUND]
[Bridge] [Soft and emotional, then building up…]
I stand here shirtless in the rain,
Screamin’ words that sound the same,
Sal-va-tion… In-to-the-niiiight…
But all I want… is to sound like… Creed’s Christ!
[Final Chorus] (BIG crescendo, soaring vocals!)
With arms unreasonably wiiiiide!
For no good reason, I cryyyyy!
A parody, but still it’s true,
No one rocks a vest like we do!
