Crying for a Savior

Down in Sao Paulo
Kids live in the streets
It rains death in Africa
There's nothing to eat
Blacks hate the whites
The whites hate their own
And we deal with our guilt here
By living life stoned

We are crying for a Savior
While we scratch at the surface
The roots go untouched
We are crying for a Savior
One who's given us the answer
And whose motive was love

Philanthropies profit
From taxes deferred
While needing recipients
Can't buy a shirt
Well, the system, it's not working
And it's beyond repair
An overhaul's due
But there are too few who care

We are crying for a Savior
While we scratch at the surface
The roots go untouched
We are crying for a Savior
One who's given us the answer
And whose motive was love
His motive was love

The answer's been given
Through a death on a cross
As Christ died returning to us
That which we'd lost
Relations with God
Once again are begun
As we come to know Him
Through our Savior His Son

And we are crying for a Savior
While we scratch at the surface
The roots go untouched
We are crying for a Savior
One who's given us the answer
And whose motive was love

And we are crying for a Savior
While we scratch at the surface
The roots go untouched
We are crying for a Savior
One who's given us the answer
And whose motive was love
It was love

We are crying for a Savior
