The truth's covered up with lies

It's hard to believe your eyes

When faith and love are nowhere left in sight

It's a crime they could never sell

And the press don't always tell

To justify the stories they create

No one can deny the fact there's a God

The evidence demands a verdict

Right about now

Things have gotta change

It's a world goin' up in flames

High upon a cross

He was lookin' down

Wonderin' if we'd ever come around

Right about now

There's a child out in no man's land

With a pain no one understands

Will the shadow of darkness forever seal his fate?

It's a red light that we can't run

As we rise to a fading sun

Our days were numbered

Long before we knew

Right about now

Things have gotta change

It's a world goin' up in flames

High upon a cross

He was lookin' down

Wonderin' if we'd ever come around

Right about now

Things have gotta change

It's a world goin' up in flames

As sure as we live and breathe

More than love we need

The answer's so clear

Right about now

Right about now

Things have gotta change

It's a world goin' up in flames

High upon a cross

He was lookin' down

Wonderin' if we'd ever come around

Right about now

Things have gotta change

It's a world goin' up in flames

High upon a cross

He was lookin' down

Wonderin' if we'd ever come around

Right about now
