Lyrics

    Hey man, please don't make a sound
    Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you
    Have a little taste, no more time to waste
    You don't wanna get left behind cause it's all coming down right now
    
    How hard is it to see
    Put your faith in me
    'Cause you wouldn't want to be nailed
    To the wrong piece of wood
    You should get where you belong
    Everything you know is wrong
    Come on, sing along, everybody now
    
    God given
    
    And they gave us sight
    And you'll see the light
    And it burned so bright
    Now you know we're right
    
    And the work we've done
    We've just begun
    We're the chosen ones
    
    Hey, step into the light
    How can this be right?
    I'm in front of you
    Now ask me to
    This you cannot win
    With the color of your skin
    You won't be getting into the Promised Land
    It's just another case
    Still don't know your place
    Step aside, look away, wipe that look of your face
    Defiance
    Raining from the sky
    
    Come on, sing along, everybody now
    God given
    
    And they gave us sight
    And you'll see the light
    And it burned so bright
    Now you know we're right
    
    And the work we've done
    We've just begun
    We're the chosen ones
