(Hello? Is anyone out there?)
Welcome to the Land of Five
Where relationships are meant to
thrive
Your walk with God and with the human race
Are top priority
in this place
It's a land where the music's all a
cappella
Harmonized and "rhythmatized" by the five of us young
fellas
Time to pump up the volume and enjoy the ride
On your journey
through the land of five

Lyrics:
You're someone special (Yeah)
You'll never amount to anything at all
You'll never fit in, never
find your place
No talent to use to make it in this world
No one
who'll need you
Plain to see that you're plain, no beauty
No way
that someone would
Want somebody like you who comes
From the wrong
neighborhood, no money, no life
No one who'll love you
Their words and actions have you thinkin' there's no destiny
For
someone with your background, looks, and personality
God made you who
you are to use you in a special way
Don't believe the lies they tell
you
Listen while I say
Chorus:
You are someone special (With a special personality)
You
love and you want to be loved (Oh, it's human nature, human need)
Life
is a miracle (God made you what He wants you to be)
Know that your
special to God
Someone special to me (Someone special to me)
Someone
special to me
Might as well just put an end to it all
No hope, my depression has
me drifting, lost
No relief in sight for the pain I feel
No one to
help me
Can't get a date, can't relate to the people
That I want for
my friends
The only way out won't hurt anybody, it'll end my pain
No
one who needs me
What's that you're thinkin'
Don't you know that God believes in
you?
He's got a plan, He's workin', and He's watchin' over you
He is
the only true way out, He'll get you through the test
Let the Father
lift your burdens
He'll give you rest
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Bridge:
Now's the time to bring it down
You're someone special
(Special personality)
You're someone special (Dear to God and dear to
me)
You're someone special (Special personality)
You're someone
special
Their words and actions have you thinkin' there's no destiny
For
someone with your background, looks, and personality
God made you who
you are to use you in a special way
Don't believe the lies
Don't
believe the lies
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Tanah Hatcher
Lyrics:
(Spoken) I don't want to be lonely
No, you'll never be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
No,
you'll never be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
No, you'll
never be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
No, you'll never
be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
Love one another, that's what they told you to do
Love one another,
that's true, it's true
I see you wonder, why don't they give it back to
you?
I see you wonder, if they only knew what you knew
Sometimes the
road is too long,
Sometimes you're not that strong
But when it seems
too much remember:
Chorus:
You are not alone
You've got to learn to take life in
stride,
There's someone else walkin' by your side
You are not
alone
You wonder why I can testify?
'Cause you and me and God make 5
No, you'll never be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
No,
you'll never be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
No, you'll
never be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
No, you'll never
be lonely
You'll never, never ever be lonely
Oh, I hear you talkin' how everything seems so bad
I hear you
talkin'; it's sad, it's sad
I see you walkin', don't even give me a
nod
I see you walkin', you might as well get a firin'
squad
Bitterness will mess up your face
Negativity's such a
waste
The load will be a lighter haul
If you'll just share with me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge (I don't want to be lonely)
(Never) Never again will you be alone
(Never) Oh, come on everybody
let the truth be known!
(You're someone special)
Chorus 2:
You are not alone (Hey, hey you!)
A single rope might
break in two
But two are three wound up will do
You are not
alone
Oh, a beautiful thing you know it's true
The Spirit's livin'
inside of you
You are not alone
Learn to take life in
stride,
There's someone walkin' by your side
You are not
alone
You wonder why I can testify?
'Cause we all make 5
You are
not alone!
'Cause you and me and God make 5
'Cause you and me and
God make 5
(You are not alone)
'Cause you ane me and God make
5
You are not alone!

Lyrics:
I can praise the Lord in my shorts
I can praise the Lord in my
hat
I can praise the Lord with almost nothing on at all...
(What'd
he say? and other grumblings)
But, but David did it!
Maybe you're
right
Yeah, you can even look it up
He was a man after God's own
heart
Sure you're right...
Amen!
I can praise the Lord and that's
that!
(Praise the Lord with your feet) All the glory!
(Praise the Lord
with your feet) All the honor!
(Praise the Lord with your feet) All the
praise!
(Praise the Lord with your feet) Said we're gonna praise
Him!
(Praise the Lord with your feet) Said we're gonna praise
Him!
(Praise the Lord with your feet) Said we're gonna praise
Him!
(Praise the Lord with your feet) Said we're gonna praise Him!
Scriptural Reference:
"When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of
Saul came out to meet him and said, 'How the king of Israel has
distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of
his servants as any vulgar fellow would!' David said to Michal, 'It
was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from
his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD's people Israel--I will
celebrate before the LORD.'" 2 Samuel 6:20-21
"Then David said to
the whole assembly, 'Praise the LORD your God.' So they all praised the
LORD, the God of their fathers; they bowed low and fell prostrate before
the LORD and the king." 2 Chronicles 29:20

Lyrics:
(Spoken)
This is a song about perceptions, paradigms, and
politics
Borne out of the prejudices that plague us as a people
Get
the point?
Then lets proceed...
Ignorance ain't bliss when it comes in the form of a dis
Prejuidice
and racial perception from a distance breeds misconceptions
A man's
skin color ain't the place to start
You gotta get close, get into the
heart
Otherwise, there's a lot you'll miss
Prejudicial ignorance sho
ain't bliss
Get this
Chorus:
What makes you think he would let you get by
Using
ignorance as an alibi?
Think again, there seems to be something you've
missed
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss (sho ain't bliss)
Sho
ain't bliss (sho ain't bliss)
Society's confused when it comes to the way that we view
People from
an outward perspective, with appearance we're so selective
A man's
discarded if he dresses oddly,
We avoid those with handicapped
bodies
The retarded simply dismissed
Prejudicial ignorance sure
ain't bliss
Repeat Chorus
What makes you stop short of makin' that move
To break the comfort
zone you're accustomed to?
Open eyes, realize the truth you can't
dismiss
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss (Sho isn't, sho
isn't)
Sho ain't bliss (No it isn't, no it isn't)
Ignorance and arrogance, goin' hand in hand
Condescending judgments
of our fellow man
Variety's the spice of life so what good is
achieved
By division and derision of the differences we see
The Christian community
Must cease the negativity
'Cause a dose
of humility
Will spark the cause of unity
Accept the reality
That
it's our responsibility
To share our love consistenly
And work to be
a family
That's the way (Aw that's the way)
That's the way (Yeah
that's the way)
That's the way (Uh huh)
We'll find bliss
Prejudicial ignorance isn't bliss
Repeat Chorus
Now it's time to get funky...
Ministries on trial 'cause they fail
to fit a certain style (We're on trial, different style)
People's
praise snuffed out by tradition, policing music that's deemed
"Un-Christian" (Unjustly condemned)
You can't judge worship by a dance
or groove (Music's groove and)
To Him it's pleasing when the heart's in
tune (Heart's in tune)
It's a shame all the joy that's missed (Praise
is not a sin)
Legalistic ignorance sho ain't bliss (It's bliss)
Sing
it out!
Repeat Chorus
What makes you stop short of makin' that move
To break the comfort
zone you're accustomed to?
Open eyes, realize the truth you can't
dismiss
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss (Sho ain't bliss)
Sho
ain't bliss (Sho ain't bliss)

Lyrics:
Kyrie Eleison
Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into
my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the
road
My heart is old, it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike
flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find
myself again
Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel
Kyrie
Eleison, through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison, where I'm
going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light
When I was young I thought of growing old (Growing old)
Of what my
life would mean to me (Would mean to me)
Would I have followed down my
chosen road (The road I've chose)
Or only wished that I could be? (Oh I
could be)

Lyrics:
Oh, my love won't die
Yeah, yeah, yeah
As endless as the sea of stars that shine so bright
(My love for You
won't end) My love for You won't die
What we share is a miracle, a pure
delight
(I'll never let You go) Our love won't be denied
As the
spring dawns a new day, our love's fresh and new
It simply can't be
explained
I've never known love like this,
I want it to be like this
(My love won't die) No, my love won't die
(It's burning inside)
Burning
(My love's alive) So alive
(My love won't die)
My emotions for You aren't a temporary thing
(It is a lasting love)
The kind you find in dreams (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
My heart is pulsing, how
can this be true?
(It must be destiny) That we were meant to be
Just
to be with You is all I ever need (All I need)
Nothing more, nothing
less (nothing less)
Ever since we first met, (Ever since we first
met)
I haven't had one regret (I haven't had one regret about You)
(My love won't die) I don't believe, I don't believe that it will ever
die
(It's burning inside) Oh I feel it burning
(My love's alive) So
alive forevermore
(My love won't die) It won't die
All because, All because (All because the precious life You gave to
me)
That I've found more and more and more (Strength and love to give
right back to You)
Well I'm holdin' on (I'm holdin' on), onto Your arms
(onto Your arms)
Your touch is ever, ever so strong,
There's nothing
that can tear me away from Your love (Tear me away from Your love)
(My love won't die) Oh, it's a neverending love, oh yeah
(It's
burning inside) It's a-burnin', yeah
(My love's alive)
(My love
won't die)
All because of You I now know the meaning of (A special kind of
love)
A one-in-a-million
It is real, it's a gift, it's a higher
love
That takes me way beyond the clouds above (Way beyond the clouds
above)
(My love won't die) Never gonna die
(It's burning inside) What we
share is a miracle, yes it is
(My love's alive) Oh, I feel it so
alive
(My love won't die) No, never gonna die
(My love won't die) Never, never, never gonna die
(It's burning
inside) Hey, and it's all because of You
(My love's alive) It must be
destiny

Lyrics:
Won't buy you love
Or happiness
Won't buy you love
Or
happiness
(Money) Won't buy you love
(Money) Or happiness
(Money)
Won't buy you love
(Money) Or happiness
So many people that I know (they're strugglin')
So many places that
I go (the same)
It's just another day
By any kind or way
They
have got to get some of that mighty cold cash (gotta get mighty cold cash)
Now there are others who love to live it up
They spend in every way
(every single way)
The only problem is
To keep this life of
bliss
They have got to chase that dollar or it won't last (chase that
dollar, or it won't last)
Where do your priorities lie? (where do they lie)
Your wealth won't
by (won't get you by)
True love's the key to life and
happiness
There's better things to do
With what He's given
you
Invest your time in God and not the
Chorus:
Money
Won't buy you happiness
You'll find that your
success
It won't buy you love
Money
Won't buy you
happiness
You'll find that your success
It won't buy you love
Please don't misunderstand me (oh no please don't misunderstand
me)
There's so much money can do (for you)
But it's so
distracting
The problems attracting
Now when you let your money take
ahold of you (let your money take ahold of you)
We spend like there will be no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
It happens
everyday (every single day)
Success will only come
Once we have
learned to trust
Leave it, let it 'lone, let God take full complete
control (leave it, let it 'lone, let God take full complete control)
What (Hey) we are dealing with (Hey)
Is lack of faith in Him
(Hey)
That he will supply our every need
Just wait on the Lord (Just
wait on Him)
And what you're lookin' for
Will be there when you need
it, know that
Repeat Chorus
There's a cancer in the nation, a disease of deprivation
It's the
hunger for the power, it's a capitalist sensation
It disguises all the
glitter, makes it look as fine as honey
But the way that you can spot
it is a greedy taste for money
Is it really, really all that you're about, is money?
Can you
really, really ever do without the money?
If it's gonna be the reason
for the strife, the money?
Gotta see that there is more to livin' life
than money
Don't get me wrong it's not the money or the power
Or the things
that you acquire that oppose a man's salvation
But when you constantly
pursue, it is now controlling you
You are headed for some trouble and
temptation
Some people crave it, others use it, in the struggle they
abuse it
They believe that with it they can buy their dreams
But
they would quickly realize if they open up their eyes
Is that there's
more to having money than it seems
It's just a dirty piece of paper,
many colors, different labels
Some coins that you can barter and
exchange
But if you let it, it can hurt you, it can make your friends
desert you
'Cause you're values have been totally rearranged
Is it really, really all that you're about, is money? (Is it really all
that you're about?)
Can you really, really ever do without the
money?
If it's gonna be the reason for the strife, the money? (Don't
let it, don't let it be the reason)
Gotta see that there is more to
livin' life than money
(Money, money, money, 5,4,3,2,1)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Money!
Scriptural Reference:
"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is
never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless." Ecclesiastes
5:10
"People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and
into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and
destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some

Your heart is high tonight
You feel like doin' right
Your faith
is outta sight, you're gonna hold on tight
Never felt like this
before
Didn't know there's so much more
Now you're really gonna

You undo the things you've
done
So many promises and now there's none

It's a spiritual one night stand (spritual,

Yesterday, today, and always
He'll go to church today
His ten percent he'll pay
He'll bow his
head to pray and listen to the words they say
He'll sing the holy

It seems he does no wrong

When the pressure's on
Can't undo the things you've done
So many

help but openly adore You)
I need You (There is nothing that can come
before You)
Repeat
You gave Your son (You gave Jesus)
To die for me (To die for
me)
You're awesome love has shown me what I need to be (What I need to
be)
So to my own (So to my own)
Desires I die (I must die)
You
know the best for me, on You I can rely (You I can rely)
Repeat Chorus
(Spoken):
Father, it hurts me to think of all the times I fail
You
The times I let you down
The times when I choose to ignore Your
will for me,
And decide to do things my way
But Lord, I've known no
greater joy in life
Than the times I've given all to You
And I pray
with every decision I make and every step I take
I'll always remember
You're my guide
I need You (There's no way that I can live without You)
Oh my Lord,
I need You (So much love and tenderness about You)
You saved my life, I
need You (I can't help but openly adore You)
I need You (There is
nothing that can come before You)
And every day I need You (There's no
way that I could live without You)
And every way I need You (So much
love and tenderness about You)
Oh all my life I give to You (I can't
help but openly adore You)
I need You (There is nothing that can come
before You)
I know that I need You,
I need You
(My love, My life) (You are my life)
(You are) (My love, my
life)
(I can't help but openly adore You)
(There is nothing that can
come before You)

Lyrics:
(Spoken):
Server 1 to 4 do you copy?
(Roger, Server 4,
what's your report?)
Messiest battle I ever saw, I've never seen so
many dead souls.
Looks like they all tried to save themselves,
over
(Do you care if I send someone over to compromise your
juncture?)
I can handle it, the situation looks pretty
stable
Whoa, wait a minute, somethin's up
(Request to
abort)
No, no it's alright, I think I got it
(Get out of
there now!)
Oh my God!
I was standing in a grave, barely alive
Needing someone to heal this
torn heart of mine
Walking a line between my love for God and my
desires
(Darkness) pounding 'round me on every side (Jesus Christ who
God has given)
Even through my death I still have life (I still have
life, I still have life)
I will survive (I will survive) 'cause Jesus
showed me how to die
Chorus:
If you die with Christ (You will live with Him)
Since He
paid the price (For real life to begin)
Put to death the old man now to
join a new friend
(If you die with Christ) You will live with Him
Lost without a friend to call my own
In my quest for freedom, found
myself so alone, so alone
Since then I've grown, I must put to death
the life I know
Living life today, it's not a game
Satan, Satan,
Satan's out to destroy you in every single way
You must not sway, no -
believe me there's a better way (there's a better way)
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
(Just as Christ was raised from the dead)
He'll give you
life eternally
Trust that if you die with Him
He will then set you
free!
Repeat Chorus
You will live with Him

him" Romans 6:8

Dialouge:
Enjoy the ride? Good
But the journey doesn't end here
It's an
everyday kind of thing
Twenty-Four Seven
Loving God, loving
others
Serving God, serving others
Because God has loved and served
us
That's how we'll survive
It's how we all will thrive
In our
journey through the Land of Five
(I'll be with you always)
