Sarah's screaming, another daddy's leaving
How can that much hurt be justified
Frankie's a dealer his nickname is "The Healer"
He makes a living helping people die
Babies making babies, people going crazy
Andy's new best friend's a .45
[Chorus:]
Circle us with angels, walk us through the danger
Give us light to get us through the valley full of shadows
And deliver us from evil, we are only people
You know we can't make it on our own
Oh Lord, we need intervention divine
Michael is surfin', revenge at school is certain
Street gang invasion, we've become a dead-bolt nation
Security and innocence are gone
We're still discriminating,we're angry and we're hating
We're living in a modern Babylon
[Chorus]
From America to Asia, Europe to Australia
We're on our knees, Lord hear your children cry
[Chorus with echoes:]
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Forgive us, and lead us
Oh Lord we need...
[Chorus]
