The Message Is Clear

People walkin' 'round these days

With over their eyes shut tight

Pretendin' that they just don't see

The light of what's goin' on

But we all know there's evil out there

Lurkin' in the dark

That tries to keep us stumblin'

'Til the whole world falls apart

We look and we listen

The vital signs we choose to ignore

We listen, but do we heed the call?

Well, the message is clear

So very clear to me

The message is clear

Aren't you listening to your heart?

To the message

Kids are growin' up too fast

You know they hardly stand a chance

Surrounded by the things they see

The drugs and the violence

Who will be responsible

For the shape of the world to come?

If we keep breakin' all the rules

You know we're bound to self-destruct, yeah

We look and we listen

The Spirit's speakin' unto us all

We listen, but do we heed the call?

And the message is clear

We can't go on this way

We've got to care

Look at what's happening to this world

Oh, the time has come

We've got to pull together

Come on, people

Run from the darkness

Stand in the light of the Son

People live their lives these days

With misdirected minds

Believin' what they know is wrong

We swallow up the lies

The morals that we're built upon

Are all under attack (Under attack)

The humanistic vision spreads

But there's no hope in that

We look and we listen

The vital signs we choose to ignore

We listen, but do we heed the call?

The message is clear

So very clear to me

The message is clear

Aren't you listening to your heart?

You know the message is clear

We can't go on this way, no

We've got to care
