[Instrumental intro],[electric guitar],[bass guitar],[organ],[ambient tones filling a large space like a church or a concert hall],[the choir echoes some of the lyrics in the verses for emphasis],[the gospel choir sings the chorus with the lead singer] [Verse 1] Children cryin’, nowhere to go. Borders drawn, where families sow. It ain’t a home, when the roofs gone. Flags mean nothing, when the lines are wrong. Rich ones livin, in the sky. Poor man digs, the dust and cries. Screens are glowin’, but the soul feels dim. Is this progress, or the devil’s win. [Chorus] Oh my lord So much pain today Too much hate Oh my lord Oh my lord Fiendish devil plays Show the way Oh my lord [Verse 2] Truth gets twisted, a thousand ways. The madman’s gospel, is the news today. Science whispers, fear shouts loud. The voice of reason, lost in the crowd. Old men holdin’, on too tight. To their power, to their fight. Rules bend easy, money talks. justice limps, while the wicked walk. [Chorus] [Verse 3] This earth we walk, is in pain. The oceans rise, like ghosts in chains. Coral graves, smokin’ trees. What is left, children see. We’re takin’ more, than we give. No healing hand, just another shiv. The answer ain’t, plastic shells. Love your neighbor, love ourselves. [Bridge – Gospel choir swells],[entire choir echoes the lead singer after each line] North and south, east and west. We all bleed, we all need rest. No app can save, a dyin’ soul. Only mercy, can make us whole. Lay down the guns, lift up the hands. We need hearts, not battle plans. We ain’t lost if we still believe In love that’s stronger than all our grief [Chorus – Full Gospel Choir + Lead Vocal] Oh my lord So much pain today Too much hate Oh my lord Oh my lord Fiendish devil plays Show the way Oh my lord [Outro – Choir fading with grit and grace] Oh my lord…show the way… Shine the light…through the darkness… We’re still waiting…we’re still prayin’… For love to lead…oh my lord…
