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
