When will we- When will we surrender? When will we strive for what is good and not for what man has created? When will we no longer trample the poor? Ignore the stomachs of the starving? Renew the hearts of the hopeless and the strength of the helpless Those who can't stand on their own two feet Those who can't stand on their own two feet We gotta change We gotta change what means the most to us When will we look to the hurting before we bandage our own wounds? We say we are martyrs But we'd only die for ourselves, we'd only die for ourselves We gotta mend the wounds of the desperate We got the power to change circumstance We got the power We got the power to change Let us rise above the storm Rise above the storm Set sail into the sea Set sail into the sea, into the sea When we pass through waters, we will not sink When we walk through fire, we will not be set ablaze We will not sink We will not be set ablaze Instead, we sink into your grace A furnace of your mercy Because you choose the despised and lowly You choose the despised and lowly I am despised I am lowly We will be the catalysts to reach out to the hurting We will embrace those who've been abandoned We will be catalysts We will embrace those who've been abandoned
