Everyday  You hear the people talkin'  They say they're takin a stand  They're lookin' for  A cause they can believe in  For the welfare of man  But all I see are soldiers in a circle  Marching no place fast  Isn't it time the children of God  Take a stand that will last  Oh it makes me want to ask    (chorus)  Couldn't we stand to kneel a little longer  The time is never spent in vain  In the light of all we stand to gain  Finding the faith that only makes us stronger  Touching what we cannot see  Reaching to heaven from our knees  Couldn't we stand    I know men  So blinded by ambition  The joy is slippin' away  But they're no worse  Than the people who are livin'  Like there's only today  And I can't help but shake my head and wonder  What's it comin' to  Lord, give me the strength to lift them in prayer  'Cause it's all I can do  Just to give them back to you    (chorus)
