[Verse 1] She stood where the old stones held the heat While the crowd pressed close around her feet Words like a blade cut through the air A warning and a way out waiting there [Pre-Chorus] Turn from the crooked road Come up from the undertow [Chorus] Save yourselves from this crooked generation Leave the dead-end road, begin again Three thousand voices rising from the water One heart, one vow, one table, one prayer [Verse 2] They took the word and entered the stream Then gathered close to live what they believed Learning the teaching, sharing what they had Breaking bread, holding fast through the bad [Pre-Chorus] Turn from the crooked road Come up from the undertow [Chorus] Save yourselves from this crooked generation Leave the dead-end road, begin again Three thousand voices rising from the water One heart, one vow, one table, one prayer [Breakdown] Hold fast Stand together Bread broken Hands lifted Hold fast No one forgotten Three thousand entered A people awakened [Bridge] Not a crowd that scatters when the night gets cold Not a promise traded for a little control In the teaching, in the fellowship In the breaking, in the prayers—we persist [Final Chorus] Save yourselves from this crooked generation Leave the dead-end road, begin again Three thousand voices rising from the water One heart, one vow, one table, one prayer [Outro] One heart One vow One table One prayer
