Grace Unearned - Dreams Lyrics

Yesterday on the news
Another kid was killed
A mother's son was taken
To satisfy a thrill
People often wonder
How this came to be
The world is filled with anger
We simply can't agree
Respect has gone away
There's hatred in this place

These dreams they haunt me
They keep me from my peace
Please wake me quickly
So this nightmare will cease

Politicians call for resistance
They divide us all they can
Keep us focused on our differences
Oh while they scheme and plan
The news is no longer honest
Integrity has ceased
Ratings are the food
That feeds the angry beast
And Lord if we should pray
They put us in our place

There's war in the streets
And violence everywhere
There's drugs and disease
And people do not care
Oh God how we need you
Come save this place today
Bring down your glory
And break these chains away

These dreams they haunt me
They keep me from my peace
Please wake me quickly
So this nightmare will cease
Shine down all your glory
Bring the people to their knees
Oh God can you help us
Well these dreams are reality
