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
