God Given

Hey man

Please don't make a sound

Take a look around

Can't you see what's right in front of you?

Aah

Have a little taste

No more time to waste

You don't wan't to get left behind, because it's all coming down right now

Now - how

Hard is it to see?

Put your faith in me

I sure wouldn't want to be

Praying to the wrong piece of wood

You should

Get where you belong

Everything you know is wrong

Come on, sing along everybody now

(God Given)

And He gives us sight

And we see the light

And it burns so bright

Now we know we're right

When His kingdom come

And Thy will be done

We have just begun

We're the chosen ones

I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from

His mouth and He wants me to tell you

Wait

Step into the light

How can this be right?

I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave

Guess you can not win

With the color of your skin

You won't be getting in to the Promised Land

Besides

This is just another case

You people still don't know your place

Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face

We are the divine

Separated from the swine

Come on, sing along everybody now

(God Given)

And He gives us sight

And we see the light

And it burns so bright

Now we know we're right

When kingdom come

And Thy will be done

We have just begun

We're the chosen ones

And He gives us sight

And we see the light

And it burns so bright

Now we know we're right

When His kingdom come

And Thy will be done

And the father and the holy son

We're the chosen ones

I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from

His mouth and He wants me to tell you
