We gods – v2

Crying out, in our depths

about injustice, pain

evil stalking the earth,

the scales unbalanced

unable to change

False measures

unfair to the people

cutting us apart

the weak oppressed

crying out to God

But the song deeper

the words they sang

coming together, healed

the congregation in the temple

the chosen people of God

God calling to us

to every single one

to you and to me

“we gods” He created

given dominion over the earth

A lament ringing

a call to action it should be

to change the whole world

resetting the balances

that we would be conformed to Thee
