The London Musical Theatre Orchestra & 2018 Concert Cast of King the Musical - We Need You Now (feat. Cedric Neal) Lyrics

There seems no reason or rhyme
To account for the crime
That the world partakes in today
One wonders how much more time
How far up sin's mountain we'll climb
Before hell itself arrives on earth to stay
The time is now at hand
For each person in this land
And across the sea
To make this their heartfelt plea
We need you now more than ever
We need you now so we can weather
The trials and tribulations
That plague whole nations today
We need you now this very minute
The world's gone mad and we're in it
There's only one way that we can survive
Live in peace and stay alive
Fill our hearts will love for you we pray
'Cause we need you now, Lord, today
And when a world thinks to pray
Is a thing of yesterday
Something youth thinks is strictly for the old
So to take somebody's life
With a gun, bomb or knife
Is something considered brave or bold
How much lower can we go?
Will we ever seem to know
We need you now this very minute
The world's gone mad and we're in it
There's only one way that we can survive
Live in peace and stay alive
Fill our hearts with love for you we pray
'Cause we need you now, Lord
We need you now, Lord
We need you now, Lord, today
