Everyday You hear the people talkin' They say they're takin a stand They're lookin' for A cause they can believe in For the welfare of man But all I see are soldiers in a circle Marching no place fast Isn't it time the children of God Take a stand that will last Oh it makes me want to ask (chorus) Couldn't we stand to kneel a little longer The time is never spent in vain In the light of all we stand to gain Finding the faith that only makes us stronger Touching what we cannot see Reaching to heaven from our knees Couldn't we stand I know men So blinded by ambition The joy is slippin' away But they're no worse Than the people who are livin' Like there's only today And I can't help but shake my head and wonder What's it comin' to Lord, give me the strength to lift them in prayer 'Cause it's all I can do Just to give them back to you (chorus)
