Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Make me a witness
Take me out, out of darkness
Out of doubt
[Verse 2]
I won't weigh you down
With good intention
Won't make fire out of clay
Or other inventions
[Verse 3]
Will we burn in Heaven
Like we do down here?
Will the change come
While we're waiting?
Everyone is waiting
[Verse 4]
And when we're done
Soul searchin'
And we carried the weight
And died for a cause
Is misery made beautiful
Right before our eyes?
Will mercy be revealed
Or blind us where we stand?
[Verse 5]
Will we burn in Heaven
Like we do down here?
Will the change come
While we're waiting?
Everyone is waiting
[Verse 6]
Will we burn in Heaven
Like we do down here?
Will the change come
While we're waiting?
Everyone is waiting
