All of our lives, we spend watching with covered eyes in a world gone blind
All of the evil, man against man, only out for himself
How much more can we stand?
And we pray for forgiveness at the end of the night
Cus' it makes us feel better when we turn out the light
But if the world starts to crumble
Then I'll know I was right all along
All of those lies, keep breading from greed
Is it too late to start to change our ways
And open our hearts to the truth, to the people in need?
We paint pretty pictures to cover the things we don't want to see
But how can we ignore the call, oh lord, of a brother crying out in misery?
(chorus)
There must be a way to answer the call
If you're listening, then answer the call
It's gonna take more than a miracle
It's gonna take us all to start listening and answer the call
