The World (Keeps Movin' Around)

There's a high speed chase on a freeway

While an old man pushes a broom

There's a young boy sleepin', a widow weepin'

And an artist paintin' a tune

There's an old woman beggin' for money

While a young kid's locked in his room

There's a rape victim screamin'

A little child dreamin' about growin' up too soon

And the world keeps movin' around

Yeah, the world keeps beatin' you down

With every beat of the drum the Kingdom will come

And free anyone who is bound

There's a fat man walkin' his dog

And there's a dead man in a tomb

A teenager cruisin'

A lawyer who's losin'

And a junkie fillin' a spoon

He knows there's pain, but there is healing on His wings

His time's not come, but when it does we will sing

In His heart and in His eyes with every tear-drop He calls your name

And He says I want you home, my child

Til then, there'll be pain

And as the world keeps movin' around

You know His love can always be found

Within a beat of His heart the darkness must part

As the chains fall to the ground

Freedom... freedom

(There's a police raid down at the beach house

There's a wino about to consume

And a crime committed

A defendant acquitted

And a dog that's barkin' at the moon)

Freedom... freedom... freedom
