Verse 1 God’s love and beauty’s all around you, Stars above and the fields He found you. ​ From the rolling hills to the mountain crown, You cursed His name while you tore it down. ​ You paved the streams, turned green to gray, Smog in your lungs, now you cry, “No way.” ​ “If God cared, this air’d be clean,” you spit, But you lit the match, now you choke on it. ​ Pre-Chorus You burned the garden for a parking lot, Then blame the Maker for the hell you got. ​ You sold your soul for a neon throne, Then scream at heaven you’re all alone. ​ Chorus Hit your knees instead of raising fists, You begged for choice, now you’re drowning in the midst. ​ You burned the paradise He gave for free, Then curse His name for what you chose to be. ​ From the unborn cries to the poisoned ground, You ask, “Where’s God?” while you cut Him out the sound. ​ All this blood on the hands that plead, Still, He listens—but you just bleed. ​ Verse 2 He gave you family, gave you home, You tore it apart just to die alone. ​ Signed the papers, broke the ring, Then say, “If God cared, He’d fix everything.” ​ You call it freedom when the children die, Then blame the sky for the lullaby. ​ You want the crown with a devil’s deal, Then cry to the cross when the pain gets real. ​ Pre-Chorus 2 You worship screens and the kings of greed, Fake little gods that watch you bleed. ​ Rothschild money and the banker’s throne, Owning land, air, water you never sold. ​ But the dirt, the sky, the thunder’s roar, Was never theirs, it was ours before. ​ Children of God with a birthright flame, You traded it cheap, then curse His name. ​ Chorus Hit your knees instead of raising fists, You begged for choice, now you’re drowning in the midst. ​ You burned the paradise He gave for free, Then curse His name for what you chose to be. ​ From the unborn cries to the poisoned ground, You ask, “Where’s God?” while you cut Him out the sound. ​ All this blood on the hands that plead, Still, He listens—but you just bleed. ​ Breakdown (Half-rapped / Screamed) You tore down the hills, paved over the streams, Now you choke on the smoke of your broken dreams. ​ You said, “We want choice!”—He said, “Alright.” ​ Now you howl at the sky ‘cause you chose this fight. ​ Watch devils at play while your idols shine, Bow to your phones and your bottom line. ​ Pray for answers, call it “saving the Earth,” Then scream that the cure is the source of the hurt. ​ New gifts fall into corrupt hands, Holding back heaven from the starving lands. ​ Paradise waits while the rich inflate, But the unborn heirs never signed that fate. ​ Final Chorus (Bigger, shouted gang vocals) Hit your knees, take back your claim, Thank your God instead of spitting His name. ​ Seize back the land, the water, the air, They were never for sale to the kings of despair. ​ Hit your knees, let the proud gods fall, We’re the children of the One who owns it all. ​ All advancement, every spark, every light, Belongs to His kids—time to stand and fight. ​ Outro (Spoken over fading riff) Maybe stop whining at the sky above, And start with surrender, truth, and love. ​ Hit your knees, let the lies all burn— Paradise lost… or paradise returned.
