Lyrics
We've got rot that goes all the way to the top
In a lot of our agencies and institutions
We need more than a lot more cops
We need forgiveness and absolution

It's gone way, way too far
They're breakin' this nation apart
What we need is a change of heart
Pray grace makes a way to hit re-start

At the beginning of each new day
We need to hit our knees n pray
That Grace'll see n lead the way
N those who sleep, He'll awake

We unlocked a plot that goes all the way to the top
We don't need no half-baked solutions
This incendiary talk has got to stop
Need to stop blockin' the Constitution

It's gone way, way too far
They're breakin' this nation apart
What we need is a change of heart
Pray grace makes a way to hit re-start

At the beginning of each new day
We need to hit our knees n pray
That Grace'll see n lead the way
N those who sleep, He'll awake

It's gone way, way too far
They're breakin' this nation apart
What we need is a change of heart
Pray Grace makes a way to hit re-start
What we need is a change of heart
Pray Grace makes a way to hit re-start
