[00:09.984]	Although the Earth may tremble
[00:14.060]	And our foundation crack
[00:19.049]	We are all assembled
[00:23.252]	And we will build them back
[00:27.230]	And let's just say the lives remain
[00:31.644]	And held within our reach
[00:36.616]	Try to put our world together
[00:41.186]	Standing in the breach
[00:45.248]	So many live in poverty
[00:49.161]	While others live like Kings
[00:53.970]	Though some may find peace
[00:56.957]	And acceptance in all that living brings
[01:03.340]	I will never understand
[01:06.916]	How ever they've prepared
[01:11.651]	How one life is struck down
[01:15.637]	And another life is spared
[01:20.082]	Though the earth may tremble
[01:24.014]	And cast our work aside
[01:29.042]	Though their efforts resembled
[01:33.268]	The fluctuations of time
[01:37.014]	We rise and fall with the trust
[01:41.165]	And belief and love redeems our seed
[01:46.143]	And our backs and the hearts
[01:50.488]	Together standing in the breech
[01:54.783]	You don't know why
[01:56.802]	It's such a far cry in what
[01:59.326]	This world could be
[02:03.195]	You don't know why
[02:05.200]	But you still try for the world you wish to see
[02:12.013]	You don't know how it will happen now after all that's come undone
[02:19.343]	But you know the change
[02:21.634]	That the world needs now is there in everyone
[03:13.460]	The unpaid debts of history
[03:17.494]	The open wounds of time
[03:21.786]	The laws of Human Nature always tugging from behind
[03:30.871]	I want to think that the earth can heal
[03:34.732]	And the people might still learn
[03:38.520]	How to meet this world's true challenges
[03:42.953]	And if it costs their own can turn
[03:48.117]	Though the earth may tremble and the ocean's pitching arrives
[03:57.139]	We are all assembled and we will lift our eyes
[04:04.915]	To the tasks that we know lie before us
[04:09.245]	And the power of our press besieged
[04:14.377]	And lift our souls into the Heavens standing in the breach
[04:22.877]	You don't know why
[04:25.093]	It's such a far cry from
[04:27.219]	What this world can be
[04:31.483]	You don't know why
[04:33.777]	But you still try for
[04:35.734]	The world you wish to see
[04:40.044]	You don't know how
[04:42.013]	It will happen now
[04:43.760]	For all that's come undone
[04:47.626]	But you know the world you waiting for
[04:52.190]	May not come may not come
[04:56.787]	But you know the change the world needs now is there in everyone

[00:09.984]	Although the Earth may tremble
[00:14.060]	And our foundation crack
