[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
