New Empires - Take It Back!

I’ve been tossing in my sleep

Plagued by the things ive seen

I see grown men in the streets begging for food to eat

I see a young mom in the church Shunned because her baby has no father

I see a war on the tv That leaves orphans in the streets

And i think to myself what a world we live in

where people use God’s name to expand their empires

They say its just the way it is

That I should just learn to accept it

Well I beg to differ man

I won’t give in

You villainous men

With your treacherous hands

Have taken away all the meaning in this

Road you claim to travel

Is in the path of his steps

All the while your the shell of a christian man

So I won’t tread lightly

I won’t go quietly

I won’t speak softly

I won’t let you get the best of me

This has to end here

This has to end right now

No longer can we wait for things to all work out

Just open up your eyes

And look past your front door

Your sisters in the streets and your brothers at war

Compassion has been lost in a nation built by greed

But we could be a generation that is truly free

No longer will we answer

To a king who wears a crown

But a king who ruled through peace

Then laid his life down

Rise up

Rise up true sons of zion

I will be the change I want to see in the world
