Let me tell you a horror story
I've been in your neighborhood
It's one of flame and glory
It's one of evil and good
I'm looking through stained gla** windows
I'm looking at angry lives
They're telling me the problem's social
When will we realize
It's a dying world
Teach me how to care
A dying world
And they're crying for help
It's time we give our lives to Someone
How can we tolerate this hell
They're turning to d** and magic
Just to deaden an empty life
From the church, to the home, to the playground
There's no place left to hide
Take a look at our sons and our daughters
Take a look at the shape they're in
I've tasted of living water
Gonna share my cup with them
It's a dying world
Teach me how to care
A dying world
And they're crying for help
It's time we give our lives to Someone
How can we tolerate this hell
It's a dying world
Teach me how to care
A dying world
And they're crying for help
It's time we give our lives to Someone
How can we tolerate this hell
Oh, Lord, truth lies fallen in the streets you know
Oh, Lord, how long 'til we're really free, hey
Let me tell you a beautiful story
I've been in your neighborhood
It's one of flame and glory
People turning evil into good
Take a look at your sons and your daughters
Take a look at the change within
They've tasted of the living water
Someone shared their cup with them
Whoa, don't you know
It's still a dying world
Teach me how to care
A dying world
And they're crying for help
It's time we give our lives to Someone
How can we tolerate this hell
It's a dying world
Teach me how to care
A dying world
And they're crying for help
It's time we give our lives to Someone
How can we tolerate this hell
It's a dying world, yeah
It's a dying world
Gotta give 'em some living water
Hey, hey
Gonna share my cup with them
It's just a dying world
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Dying
Too many dying
Some living water
