Woke up this morning
Sat at the breakfast table
Picked up the paper, read the news
Another war in some far off corner
Who will win, who will lose

Down at the store
Beside the checkout counter
A picture of a little girl
It's been a year
Since anyone has seen her
Is she still living in this world

Well, it breaks my heart
This world that we've made
And it's time we made a change

It's time to turn back the darkness
Time to believe what we've been told
That the earth is the Lord's and its fullness
So be strong, be brave, be bold

Until He comes
We've got to fight the battle
Until the victory is won
We can't give in
The Crown of Life is waiting
For all the ones who overcome
Well, it breaks my heart
This world that we've made
And it's time we made a change

It's time to turn back the darkness
Time to believe what we've been told
That the earth is the Lord's and its fullness
So be strong, be brave, and be bold

It's time to go, it's time to do
It's time for me, it's time for you
We've got power in His name

It's time to turn back the darkness
Time to believe what we've been told
That the earth is the Lord's and its fullness
So be strong, be brave
Oh, the earth is the Lord's and its fullness
So be strong, be brave, and be bold
