When I lay down in the gutter where the broken spirits fall
& I saw the faces of the world pass by above it all
The forgotten beg for mercy past the sight of everyone they call
But pretending to be blind you find you see nothing at all
In the hour of change come and lay your burdens down
In the hour of change you will hear the trumpets sound
When I rose up to the ether in its saturating might
& I saw the faces of the world hiding from the light
& everybody wondering why they never reach the holy heights
When you walk in willful darkness all there is, is night
In the hour of change come and lay your burdens down
In the hour of change what was lost once now is found
I will bear a sovereign witness to a lost and dying world
& never let it color me ashamed
Though the world descend to darkness I will stand here unafraid
For the time of testing touches all in the hour of change
In the hour of change come and lay your burdens down
In the hour of change we'll be breaking holy ground
I will bear a sovereign witness to a lost and dying world
& never let it color me ashamed
