Lyrics
Verse 1:
There was a girl who gave her heart to the world
She wore a smile but only for a while
Inside her mind she tried her best to find
A way to mend those broken pieces in her life
Do you wanna know why you cant find
A solution to the issue in you life
Oh baby girl oh baby girl
You gave your heart to the world
Pre-Chorus:
I’m living in a world of sin
Full of hatred with no love within
Generations of lost children full of misery (repeats)
Chorus:
(So we say) Oh and we cry out for your soul (repeats X4)
We cry out for your soul
Verse 2:
There was a man who could not understand
Why his life seemed to be frozen in this broken stance [trance]
At night he tried his best to hold the tears back from his eyes
But the end he’d always crumble down inside
Do you wanna know why you can’t find
A solution to the pain so deep inside
Oh broken soldier stand up on your feet
And take your heart from the world
Pre-Chorus:
I’m living in a world of sin
Full of hatred with no love within
Generations of lost children full of misery (repeats)
Bridge:
Generations of sadness and defeat
All the goals we reach for we can’t meet
Got the whole world thinkin that we are weak but
Its time to stand up and get on our feet
See cuz champions don’t accept defeat
With God we can decree oh
Chorus:
Oh and we can take back our souls (repeats X4)
Oh and we’re taking back our souls (repeats X4)
We’re taking back our souls
