[Verse 1]
If your home isn't safe for your children
Brave in a world that is changin'
If you're graspin' at straws and afraid of the cause
Have you lost what you tried to preserve?
When our culture has woven insidious themes
Of self-preservation through any means
There's nothing left in the vaults we protect
It's time to grieve

[Chorus]
We've got to be willing to change
We've got to be willing to grow
We've got to be open to love
In thе places we didn't expеct to go

[Verse 2]
We've guarded our homes with our God and our guns
The world seems a terrible foe
Forgetting the seeds that our Savior gave
Might need that world to grow

[Chorus]
We've got to be willing to change
We've got to be willing to grow
We've got to be open to love
In the places we didn't expect to go
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
When our rituals serve our economy best
Forsaking the needs of our souls
We desperately needed a challenge
But preferred to be sugar-fed

[Chorus]
We've got to be willing to change
We've got to be willing to grow
We've got to be open to love
In the places we didn't expect to go

[Outro]
We've got to be willing to change
We've got to be willing to grow
We've got to be open to love
In the places we didn't expect to go
We've got to be willing to bend
We've got to be willing to show
That there's more to love than self-preservation
There's more in our faith than our fears and temptations
We've asked the oppressed to be endlessly patient
Building up walls while they lie on the pavement
If saying change is compromise
Then you're just tryin' to be wise
But maybe it's time to revise this [arm?]
