"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:16

::INTRO::
If everybody in the place would put their hands up
reach down,deep inside and make the change up
take a chance hold their stance and take a stand up
Hey - be a light up in the dark

::VERSE 1::
God you're able to take this unstable feeling and table it
dealing blows to the way that we percievin' it; disablin'.
belief in our efforts to get us farther than our parents did:
its ignorance and no one is convinced of it
humanists believe in karma think their deeds will take them far enough
but discarded on the altar, when their name has not been charted up
rude awakening, forsakening the call to stand apart,
seperated from the world and all the darkness in their hearts
what about the media? lets ask em, Time Warner is out of order 
Comcast and the Vatican broadcasting Mass to the masses - hoping to cash in 
on catching all those napping -  falling victim to a silent assassin
It so happens the plan is "whatever makes you want to take the path of least resistence"
try it on for size and then decide the way you want to lead your life and be justified
no ones lied to you more than yourself, so let his light shine so no truth can hide

::CHORUS::
thats who we are.. 
called to be a light
don't be afraid to shine, shine

Thats who we are
a beacon in the night
don't be afraid to shine, shine, shine

::VERSE 2::
The lion is lying in wait for the churches 
hes toothless but grinnin cuz you think he's in the circus
his purpose; to tear down the weapons of our warfare, 
your prayer; let church get out to beat the lunch crowd - with time to spare
so go ahead ignore the call and watch em fall with no net, 
you had the answer wrapped inside the secret life that you kept
if his people, called by his name. would just repent
he would heal their broken land, mend the trend, and reverse the descent
At an all time low with no place to go
Look around, hit the underground down below
sea level, the devil got waves for your soul
rollin' they pound, pullin you down, drownin' slow
deeper ya get, the harder it is
soon to be a long goner, ya feeling ya lungs fillin' up in 
Reach out to the father, ya thinkin why bother with him?
He is walkin' on water, holdin me up, a Life Guarder for all his kids
