It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most.

I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you got something to say
And there is no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way

Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
There is nothing left to hide

Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
I'm learning how to fight

The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But I remember this much
I love as I've been loved myself.

Don't forget what I told you now
When the question keeps on coming
And it's "how much more can you take"
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
"shouldn't you be gone by now"

But you keep on
Going out in a blaze of glory
Setting your sights for the sky.
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold.
Going out in a blaze of glory
No price is high enough
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love

When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
My hands are held up high.

(Going out)
In a blaze of glory
(Going out)
In a blaze of glory
(Going out)
In a blaze of glory

Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
But you cannot take my soul

Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
Yes I'm learning how to fight

Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out with my heart wide open
Going out with my hands held high

Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out in a blaze of glory

Fighting back with love
Fighting back with love!
No price is high enough
To take my soul, to take my soul
To take my soul

It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high

(Keep on going with my hands held high)
(Keep on going with my hands held high)

    It's funny how they shoot you down When your hands are held up high And you open up your heart and soul But that's not enough for most. LIFE IS TOUGH/UNJUST

    I remember this much There is nothing You shouldn't speak of If you got something to say And there is no one To be scared of Just get them out of the way DON'T GIVE UP

    Going out in a blaze of glory My heart is open wide You can take anything that you want from me there is nothing left to hide SUBMIT TO GOD

    Going out in a blaze of glory my hands are held up high I'm learning how to hit back I'm learning how to fight I'M LEARNING HOW TO OVERCOME THE DEVIL

    The law of the jungle says You look after yourself But I remember this much I love as I've been loved myself. IT'S NOT ABOUT LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE; IT'S ABOUT LOVE

    Don't forget what I told you now When the question keeps on coming And it's "How much more can you take" When they've ripped your clothes to pieces "Shouldn't you be gone by now" THE ROMANS GAMBLING OVER JESUS' CLOTHES

    But you keep on Going out in a blaze of glory Setting your sights for the sky. GOD

    They can offer you anything at all But your dreams must not be sold. THE DEVIL OFFERED CHRIST EVERY WORLDY THING BUT HE DIDN'T BUY IT

    Going out in a blaze of glory No price is high enough I'm fighting back with feeling I'm fighting back with love

    When the nails are biting into your hands And the cross is heavy on your heart Now is the time to really make a stand My hands are held up high THE CRUCIFIXION

    Fighting back with love Fighting back with love! No price is high enough To take my soul, to take my soul To take my soul JESUS SACRIFICED EVERYTHING HE HAD TO TAKE MY SOUL

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
