We Are Not Saved

We Are not Saved
The Harvest is ended, the summer
Is past
And we are not saved
The party is over
The fight has begun
And we are not saved
The Cities come crashing
And tumbling down
The stench lingers
As it descends
Reach out and touch them
Lift them and heal them
And carry them home in your arms
We are not saved
We are not saved
The streets of the world
Soaked in violence and death
Its fabric is tearing apart
The cry of the slaughter of the innocents
The sight of your sons
And your daughters
O’ lift up your voices
Steady and true
And sing out your love and alarm
We are not saved
We are not saved
The harvest is ended, the summer
Is gone
The party is over, but we party on
We are not saved
We are not saved
Reach out and touch them
Lift them and heal them
and carry them home in your arms
O’ lift up your voices
Steady and True
And sing out your love and alarm!
We are not saved
We are not saved
