You can take your diamonds
And lock them in your room
And you will lose everything you save
You can take your flowers
And lay them on His tomb
But I saw Him rise up from the grave

Backstage I cross the common ground
Curtains up, and house lights down
I sing love songs and pass myself around
But afterwards some people say
They thought I put them down

They feel so bad inside
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They're all so trapped, they need release
They need Your strong love and strange peace

Reporters question me
Is this a new direction for the young?
With lambs like their faces
And snakes like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced
We're all some new kind of freak
I feel so good inside
It does not matter what they say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They're all so trapped, they need release
They need Your strong love and strange peace
They need Your strong love and strange peace
They need Your strong love and strange peace

I feel so good inside
It does not matter what they say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
We're all so trapped, we need release
We need Your strong love and strange peace
We need Your strong love and strange peace
We need Your strong love and strange peace
