Uprooted Life - Change (feat. Hailey Hollinger) Lyrics

We're living in a time when everyone is so afraid
The world we see is a product of the pain. A deadly virus spread to the many
Our fear revealed that the world wasn't ready. Wars define us with hate and violence
Now the war we face is the war inside us. Couldn't we see everything that was to come

Now the killer at hand is not the one behind the gun
Is the truth not plain to see? Or are we blinded? The blames on you and me
Until we find it, uncover all that we see, and look behind it, the ways of man to me
Are double-minded. Peace and love is what we all need to run to

Unwilling to stand as one, now look at what it's come to
Warnings and signs written right there on the wall
Will we follow or lead? Will we believe or will we fall
We're all overwhelmed, yeah, we've had enough

I won't turn around, I won't be giving up
I know that there's hope and we can find a way
We say we want change, well we can be that change

Can we learn to forgive and move on from where we've been
Uncover the sin from all the many ways we lived
Money and power, jealousy and our greed
Can make a man turn into his own enemy

We've seen the blood, there's no more silence
Now all we've done is shown our rage and violence
Riots and chaos, all the wicked and evil
We're dividing the world and all of its people

Is hope now out of reach, that's what it feels like
We're screaming love and peace, but then we kill life
Use our words to teach, come on and speak
Life, to change the hearts of men, now that's the real fight

We march and we chant and scream loud up on these rooftops
Lootings and murders as we watch another heart stop
Following ways, all these wicked ways of men
In the end we'll
Stand in judgement for the many ways we lived

We're all overwhelmed, yeah, we've had enough
I won't turn around, I won't be giving up
I know that there's hope and we can find a way
We say we want change, well we can be that change

I'm gonna do everything I know is right
I won't back down, I'm gonna stand and fight
Only God can strengthen us to make it through
Come stand beside me, I'll come stand beside you

If we want to see change in our homes, in our schools, in our communities
A change that can spread throughout the whole world
Then we need to pull together as one
We need to come together and unite as one

We need to stand and fight together as one
And stop letting our fear and the world divide us
I say these things to remind us
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, cowardice, or of fear

But he's given us a spirit of power, love, sound judgement, and personal discipline
The abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control
The ability to bring change
We're all overwhelmed, yeah, we've had enough

I won't turn around, I won't be giving up
I know that there's hope and we can find a way
We say we want change, well we can be that change
I'm gonna do everything I know is right

I won't back down, I'm gonna stand and fight
Only God can strengthen us to make it through
Come stand beside me, I'll come stand beside you
I know that there's hope and we can find a way

We say we want change
