Shakey Ground

[Verse 1]
Another victim lying in the street
Just another statistic on the news
Tonight another mother cries herself to sleep
How many more must she lose?
You know he was her first born baby boy
Yes, he was her pride and joy
Now all that's left is a memory
Of the pain and the sorrow

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Where's the value of the human life?
Lord, no one knows now what is wrong and right

[Chorus]
Why we're standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground (Standing on shaky ground)
That's why we're standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground (Standing on shaky ground)

[Verse 2]
Politicians say they've got a plan
They know exactly what we need
But no amount of money can buy love
We need a reason to believe
How many children must die in the streets
Lord, before they start to understand?
What we need is some help from above
We must seek a higher plan

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Heavenly father, I know You hear our cry
And I know You are listening and it comes as no surprise

[Chorus]
That we're standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground (Standing on shaky ground)
Oh, Lord, we're standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground (Standing on shaky ground)
Oh, somebody help me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Where's the value of the human life?
Seems no one knows now what is wrong and right

[Chorus]
Why we're standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground (Standing on shaky ground)
Yeah, we are
Now we're standing, oh, Lord (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground (Standing on shaky ground)
Oh, now, now, now

[Outro]
Now we're standing
Standing on shaky ground
(Standing) Hey
(Standing on shaky ground)
'Cause now we're standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground, yeah
(Standing on shaky ground)
Lord, we're all standing (Standing)
Standing on shaky ground, yeah (Standing on shaky ground)
Lord, now we're standing (Standing)
Can't stand on shaky ground
(Standing on shaky ground)
