Beheaded, imprisoned
Forced to eat out of the trash
Believers in chains
Churches are left in flames
Relocation, torn families
Stolen lives and lost property
No one can hear them cry
They are just left to die

The Coptic church in Egypt has to flee away in fear
Chaldeans in Iraq have to hide from their people
The pakistani christians have been known to disappear
No witnesses around them confessing what they hear

And if they threaten to take your life
You must tell his story!
And if they threaten to kill your child
You must tell his story!
And if they point their guns and fire
You must tell his story!
And if they're willing to give their life
You must tell their story!

If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the fear that fills them all
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the pain that haunts them all

Tyrants and atheists
Rule with an iron fist
Islam, the middle east
Threatens our fragile peace
Pillaging and conscripting
Killing us in their God's name
Forced conversions bringing fear
Hatred from far and near

The christians of nigeria have to flee away in fear
The mar thoma of orissa have to hide from their people
The arabian christians have been known to disappear
No witnesses around them confessing what they hear

And if they threaten to take your life
You must tell his story!
And if they threaten to kill your child
You must tell his story!
And if they point their guns and fire
You must tell his story!
And if they're willing to give their life
You must tell their story!

If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the fear that fills them all
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the pain that haunts them all

Legal infanticide
No graves mark where they died
Genocide with no objections
Allowed by United Nations
Starving the many homeless
No compassion shown to them
No prayers allowed in schools
Our leaders are led by fools

The christians of iran have to flee away in fear
The christians of east timor have to hide from their people
Filipino christians have been known to disappear
No witnesses around them confessing what they hear

And if they threaten to take your life
You must tell his story!
And if they threaten to kill your child
You must tell his story!
And if they point their guns and fire
You must tell his story!
And if they're willing to give their life
You must tell their story!
