Lyrics:
I walk into this room
All eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom
Than I have to give away
Realize realize
What you are
What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike
Huddled here
You just as I am
Afraid if we dance
We will die
Mock the world
Live safe say why
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become
What you are
The sea is unsparing
We're all drifting away
Away from you
But I pray for you now
Hoping to god on high
Is like clinging to straws
While drowning oh
What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike
Huddled here
You just as I am
Afraid if we dance
We will die
Mock the world
Live safe say why
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become
What you are
What you are
Is a best in a lover's arms
What you are
Is the devil in a sweet sweet kiss
What you are
Is a puzzle to me
What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike
Huddled here
You just as I am
Afraid if we dance
We will die
Mock the world
Live safe say why
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become
What you are

The fact that this dude sang this at the end of a 2.5hr gig is just incredible to me

[@chrismckenzie-d9m]

in our little circle we call this Dave getting dirty ... when he goes off in full growl mode lol

[@scottrussell2281]

Dave is in full on BEAST MODE vocally in this version. The last minute or two is captivating beyond words.

[@hillbilly-gourmet]

Dude. For real. It is ridiculous 👍👍👍👍this is my go to for this song

[@gabbygryphon]

That's how I feel every time I hear "Lying In The Hands Of God (live)".

[@SammyMakepeace]

I wish he'd taken better care of his voice over the years so we could still get some amazing vocal moments (Trax 19 comes to mind)

[@golanshani8743]

the best ever live performance of a song. the singing is beyond this galaxy. i cry every time!!!

Golan Krasni I’ve been saying that forever!!!

[@foreverdancingwithgrux8709]

It is insane. The intro is haunting.

[@kodysherman]

Oh my... I've never heard such beautiful music before. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[@JohnSmith-fq7hj]

This is the type of song you play for your friends who think dmb is only crash into me on the radio. Been seeing these cats at deer creek since the early 2000s and go to every show i can they can really play.

[@Nicole-q5v4u]

Nice, a fellow Deer Creek Dave fan.

[@Danny-pi1xh]

Dave’s vocals in this concert are the best of his career

[@kaijubasementtonyc7331]

Really next level on this one. I wonder what the factors where? A perfect storm.

[@kodysherman]

It seems like he wants to tell you something. What does he want to tell you?

[@Danny-pi1xh]

@@kodysherman what you are…

[@KaileyB616]

I could not agree more!! I think it was a combo of: 1. This was a huge concert right after 9/11, *IN NYC*, specifically for the first responders who were in attendance - I'm sure they felt like they owed the audience the best show they could possibly give them 2. I believe it was around this time Dave finally hired a vocal coach so he could learn to sing properly, because prior to that his singing technique was causing him to frequently lose his voice 3. Whoever mixed the audio for this concert did a fantastic job, especially the slight echo they put on Dave's voice

[@kaijubasementtonyc7331]

​@@KaileyB616 hell yes

[@duke3196]

Dave is a musical freak. At the end of every song that song becomes your new fave. This one is heavy

[@sre94]

Such an underrated DMB song. One of my faves for sure

[@kspillrealkellerwilliams204]

Fan over 10 years, first time hearing this...LOVE!

[@trapfacecaponeMusic]

I’ve been a fan for three years just about this was the first concert I heard by them I’ve seen them 3 times and first time on my 18th birthday and they opened with bartender I balled my eyes out I was so happy greatest night of my life for sure now I have the fire dancer tattooed on my arm greatest band of all time in my opinion just saying super underrated people don’t understand how genius this whole band is

[@ohshititsjosh2115]

I remember this day! The only DMB concert I’ve been to and the only concert I needed in my life. Thank you Angel for the free tickets!

[@Nicole-q5v4u]

Lucky, congrats 🎉

All due respect Rip Michael ray skinner jr. 10/21/83-05/14/21 Fentanyl poisoning killed my husband and I couldn't revive him and y'all were his favorite band so he brought me here

[@Humble.Monkey]

One of favorite versions as well...☝️💜

[@jpdolan8686]

What is he saying that whole part

[@jack-uv6mt]

it's dave's secret language, look up the lyrics on google, he created his own language to sing some songs in, it's really weird. people try to interpret it but literally only he knows. one of the weirdest things about dmb.@@jpdolan8686

[@carolinemenezesx]

WTF. I didnt remember that this is as good.. as it is.

[@Bangerang84]

4:55 Hold my Beer I got This

[@-laydeeintrigue-]

😂

[@85arioto]

In portuguese, this would be something like “deixa comigo”, literally “leave it to me”. That’s exactly what I thought of when he breathed in for this last scream. Holy Christ!

[@toniloni-nj2fb]

Top Dave

[@kathleen_grace]

I can listen to this forever and ever

Beast in the lovers eye

[@janehale9725]

You find this kind of unexplainable love it's undeniablely strung to your heart. Find a way to forgive anything. Still flip the sheets to make next day better. Give any amount of love regardless of the shit pain someone gave you because you love them so much you just suck it up without really telling them how much you need. Take in lots of pain, sleep alone. Pray. Mostly cuz the good is so fucking good. Smiles, hugs...every fucking thing.

[@DaddyEZ545]

Simply ❤

[@davidfurman4582]

niiiiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee cool that Dave still uses that guitar.

[@Humble.Monkey]

Which guitar do you think he's using here friend??

[@Humble.Monkey]

That's not the black Chet Atkins...that's a Baritone electric guitar that he brought into the studio for the Everyday album to switch things up a bit...and yeah, I don't even know why I just explained that to you??☝️💜

[@steviedocherty9767]

Brilliant, better than the studio version, especially repeating the Zep-style riff for the finale.

[@AOFILMES]
