[CALL IT GOOD] [Verse 1] They knew the truth, but they pushed it away Turned from the light and embraced their own way Called what was holy old-fashioned and blind Built their own kingdom and silenced the sign The creature was praised while the Maker was denied Truth was exchanged for a comfortable lie And when the darkness started taking hold They painted it bright and called it gold [Pre-Chorus] When the truth becomes inconvenient They change the words instead When conviction cries from heaven They silence what it said [Chorus] Call it good, call it freedom Call it love, call it right Change the name, change the meaning Try to turn darkness into light But a lie is still a lie Though a million voices say it should You can dress it up in righteous words But you can’t make wrong good [Verse 2] They gather the crowd and they promise the world A place where every desire can unfurl They speak of compassion, they speak of the right While pushing God’s truth farther out of sight And somewhere between the promise and power The truth gets traded for one more hour One more vote, one more voice, one more lie While righteousness waits and watches it die [Pre-Chorus] But truth doesn’t bend for the ballot And heaven won’t change its mind No platform can rewrite the Word No crowd can redefine [Chorus] Call it good, call it freedom Call it love, call it right Change the name, change the meaning Try to turn darkness into light But a lie is still a lie Though a million voices say it should You can dress it up in righteous words But you can’t make wrong good [Bridge – stripped down, almost spoken] And don’t think we’re standing outside this warning Romans wrote it to the heart of man Not just the sinner, not just the stranger Not just the people we don’t understand Search me, Lord, before I point my finger Break every idol hiding in me Because judgment begins with the heart that claims “I know the truth, but I refuse to see.” [Breakdown] Truth is truth When nobody believes it Truth is truth When the powerful leave it Truth is truth When the whole world says “There’s another way” [Final Chorus – huge] Call it good, call it freedom Call it love, call it right Change the name, change the meaning Try to turn darkness into light But a lie is still a lie Though a million voices say it should You can dress it up in righteous words But you can’t make wrong good [Outro] The truth doesn’t change When the culture changes The Word doesn’t bend For the halls of power The Creator still calls The darkness darkness And the light still shines When the world says— “Call it good.” [Final whispered line] Woe to those who call evil good…
