On These Raging Streets

Ooh-ooh...

This is not the world God gave His Son to build
Where homeless strangers roam the night
And children shoot to kill
And this is not the world I want to leave behind
To those who follow after me when I have done my time

Where is justice, where is peace
Is there one dream left on these raging streets
Where is understanding or at least some sanity
Where is hope for the future on these raging streets
On these raging streets

To this present darkness I am not resigned
As long as I have one more breath
And one little light to shine
I will not give up on what I know is true
We are here to live our lives as love commands us to

Where is justice, where is peace
Is there one dream left on these raging streets
Where is understanding or at least some sanity
Where is hope for the future on these raging streets

I will stand, who will stand with me
Take my hand if you still believe
That love will set us free

We'll see justice, we'll see peace
We'll see new dreams live on these raging streets
We'll see understanding, a return to sanity
There is hope for the future
(There is hope)
I believe there is hope for the future
(There is hope)
There's just got to be some hope for the future
On these raging streets

We've got to love one another
We've got to love one another
Come on!

We've got to love one another
(Ooh-ooh...)
We're here to help one another
(Ooh, whoa-whoa...)
You know we need one another
(Yeah)
We've got to love one another

No more hatred, no more violence
(We've got to love one another)
Give up your judgment
(We're here to help one another)
Lay down your weapons
(You know we need one another)
Lord, have mercy
(We've got to love one another)
Lord, have mercy

Show the child how to help one another
Love one another, love one another...
