Forever and Ever Amen

And everybody wonders why no one ever tells the truth

This line just gives me chills everytime. You know, I love OTH, it's my favorite show and alot of people knock it and crack on it, but I'll tell you this. There has been no greater music than the music OTH has opened up to America.

I love 8mm.

The verses show the common thoughts and contemplations of human nature. We all wonder why people lie, we all know that the world is cruel, and we all know we have things in life that will stay with us til the day we die. Forever and Ever amen is right. It never changes

I think I heard this on One Tree Hill and I really like it.

I believe that the last line before the repeated lines of "Forever and ever amen" is "Any everybody wishes they WERE just like everyone" Anyway, it is an amazing song with beautiful lyrics that are so true. I first hear it on One Tree Hill as well and loved it right away. It is one of my favourite songs. I love the message behind it. :)

such an awesome song! after i heard this song(which was on One Tree HIll ;) ) i went out and bought the album. its a great album. Does anyone have the lyrics to the hidden track that comes on after this song?

no it's weren't.

Everybody knows you don't get what you planned And everybody runs away from what they don't understand Everybody hides away the guilt of their youth And everybody wonders why no one ever tells the truth

Everybody knows that everybody wants And everybody has their ghosts, that emptiness that haunts When everybody adds it up they've lost more than they've won And everybody wishes they weren't just like everyone

Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen

Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen

Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen
