Lyrics
-- Instrumental version also available --

I passed a man today, telling the world to pray
Preaching with his cardboard banner
People just pass him by so easy to deny
All the hurt despair and anger

Then I realized that through his eyes
Creation's upside down
Desperately we need to see
The world is reaching out

For hope, for peace
Let it start inside of me
For chains to break apart
For healing and the beating of one heart
For hope

Many have come and gone singing the lions song
But I wonder does anyone listen
We see it everyday humanity gone astray
Are we waiting for an invitation

Or have we become just too numb
To everything that's real
Too far left, too far right
Have we gone too far to feel

If we'd stop looking the other way
We'd see each other as our brother
We could find a way
