Bangin' her head against a cold stone wall
The little girl cries, the little girl falls
She wonders in her heart
Is there anybody who sees or cares at all?
Thinkin' of only all the days gone by
All the promises made, the promises tried
All she ever wanted was to know
Someone really cared for her

Through the days of strong temptation
She in time unwillingly broke
You and I will give the reasons
We weren't there to give her hope

Let the real church arise
In the power of Jesus Christ
Go into the streets to the people
Who are bound by lies
Let the real church arise
In the power of Jesus Christ
Go into this dark and wicked generation
With the light

He was livin' his life full of fear and pain
Cryin' each night, prayin' for change
But no one that he knew ever really believed
What he tried to say
Thinkin' of only all the years gone by
Livin' alone, dyin' inside
All he ever wanted was to know
Someone really cared for him
Through the days of strong temptation
He in time unwillingly broke
You and I will give the reasons
We weren't there to give him hope

Let the real church arise
In the power of Jesus Christ
Go into the streets to the people
Who are bound by lies
Let the real church arise
In the power of Jesus Christ
Go into this dark and wicked generation
With the light

Gotta carry the light, oh...

Oh, let the real church arise
In the power of Jesus Christ
Go into the streets to the people
Who are bound by lies
Let the real church arise
In the power of Jesus Christ
Go into this dark and wicked generation
With the light
