There aint no stopping us now
Id like to say that from the outset
Not up in this business just to get what we can get
But bet that
We gonna bring it to you loud and clear
How loud I gotta say it fore you people start to hear
I can name our problems
But I know a solution
Bring back the revolution.
The revolution comes and we all stand as on
Rises from the darkness and shines like the sun
As the sun gets higher, our church catches fire
Down from our pride and up from the mire.
Its a dream that Ive had and I hope it comes true
I forgot to say the revolution starts with you.
See wisdom and knowledge is one thing that we lack
Youve been a christian how long and youre still on similac
So I call on martin luther and all the reformation back
Then the common people couldnt read gods revelation
You had to be a monk or a priest or read latin
That was all before the revolution happened
But the fire cooled down ever since that generation
We put down the Bible and pick up the play station
And we cant defend our faith cause we dont even know it
We say we love his word but pick a funny way to show it.
The world walks by and we dont have a thing to say
I call em as I see em
And thats what I see today
Chorus:
The revolution returns
The reformation lives on
The great awakening is now
Sleepers open your eyes
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise
No compromise, yeah, no compromise
A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise
So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise
Our hearts have grown so cold
And weve such numb souls
But shirts and bumper stickers
Man we got em by the truckload
Is true religion what you have around your wrist
What does the scripture say of this
They honor me with words
But their hearts are far away
I call em like I see em
And thats what I see today
So I call on john edwards
Who preched us all awake
We try to be emotional but here is our mistake
As a church we lack repentance and we lack true affection
Not only in our minds but our hearts need correction
And man thats true religion, resignation and contrition
To love each other so much that wed die before division
(chorus)
So what about you
Will you join us
Will you admit that the waters around us have grown
You better start swimming or youll sink like a stone
Do you stand with us or do we stand alone
Its time that we stand up, enlist for the war
Ive tasted battle and now I want more
Ive known the truth and been cut to the core
But Im back in the game to even the score
And I mean to go out with both my guns blazing
Amazed at a God whos so truly amazing
To triumph in battle as the spirit enables
Cant turn back the clock but we can turn the tables
