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
