(c) and the walls kept tumbling down
in the city that we love
gray clouds roll over the hills
bringing darkness from above
but if you close your eyes

nothing changed at all?
and if you close your eyes
does it almost feel like
you've been here before?
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?

(v) don't give up I know you can see
all the world and the mess that were making
can't give up
and hope God will intercede
come on back imagine that we could get it together
stand up for what we need to be
cause crime won't save our feet or hungry child
can't lay down and hope no miracles change things
so lift up your eyes
lift up your heart
singing mercy will we overcome this
oh one by one could we turn it around
maybe carry on just a little bit longer
and I try to give you what you need
(c)
(v) me and you and you and you
just want to be free yeah
but you see all the world is just as we've made it
and until we got a new world
got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness
no love is strong
so we got to get together yeah
gotta get gotta get gotta get
til there is no reason
to fight
oh where do we begin? the rubble or our sins?
