Don't want to believe what I see on TV

I don't like knowing that it could be me

Broken and banished, left there to sink

Knee deep in water, not one drop to drink

I close my eyes and whisper a prayer

I have to believe I'm getting somewhere

Motherless babies and husbandless brides

Stranded with nothing but tears in their eyes

No home to go to, their world ripped apart

Look to the sky and they open their hearts

Is anyone listening? Does anyone care?

I have to believe we're getting somewhere

From the top of the mountain to the sea and the sand

Is his eye on the sparrow? Is it out of our hands?

In every question an answer is found

Blessed assurance is spinning around

There's got to be something there somewhere, I dare

I have to believe I'm getting somewhere

I close my eyes and whisper a prayer

I have to believe I'm getting somewhere
