When the things that you can’t hold onto Are the ones that you wish you could keep Are you really ready to pay for love If it costs you everything
All of God’s children All of God’s children Shining underneath Shining underneath
I believe in a world that’s beyond me I believe in a world I ain’t seen Past the glass The shotgun shacks The violent, faceless, racist facts I believe in a world that’s made clean
All of God’s children All of God’s children Shining underneath Shining underneath
Underneath these wars Underneath these walls Underneath the bullet holes I still don’t know who we are But it’s shining underneath
Oh, I’ve been waiting for love to give birth New life to show pain it’s worth I’ve been waiting for peace on earth Like a newborn child Oh, like a newborn child Shining underneath
Is there a well that won’t run empty Is there a friend that can’t be bought Will you find him when you’re thirsty To learn the lessons that can’t be taught
All of God’s children All of God’s children All of God’s children Shining underneath Shining underneath Shining underneath
