thought about what you said 
and i'm not sorry for a thing 
you do not understand this 
or what it means to me 
cannot discard this as emotion 
this is more than another passing stage 
you'll have to prove it's just opinion 
in defense of everything this is my everything 
could it be that you have stumbled 
tripped and fallen over something more than faith 

could you prove yourself 
this is a matter of life and death 
would you step up to the line 
but please don't just talk this time 
i want what you ask of me 
i want what you ask of me this time 
step up to the line 
action begs reaction 

what is left to be said 
anything less has all been done before 
to put to rest what you've been wondering 
if you could take my life 
would you still ask for more 

I though about what you said 
something occurred to me 
you wouldn't ask me to turn my back on anything 
if you believed that I believe 
truth is I would love to show you 
take "faith & works" to another higher stage 
so there is little time for words you've heard 
life and death are only steps, I'm not afraid of what comes next 
what is enough in your opinion 
perhaps my death would bring some substance to my claims 

vanity of vanities this 
life, love, art & sex 
each breath you breathe is 
grasping at the wind 

He is my everything 

we cannot both be right 
about right and wrong 
and God and man 
right and wrong and God and man 

i want what you ask of me this time 
please step up to the line 
He's my everything 
action begs reaction 

what is left to be said 
anything less has all been done before 
so put to rest your wondering 
if you could take my life 
you'd still ask for more
