Hey, friend why do we always hide?
It's no wonder that we're sinking down
Why should we stand in lonely shadows
With so much light around?Hey, friend why do we always cry?
So many tears are going to dry us out
Whatever they're selling we've gotta stop buying
'Cause our pockets are empty nowI've thought about it and I've prayed about it
Out loud, out loud
And we can talk about it, we can pray about it
Out loud, out loudHey, friend why are we always fighting?
Who's left here when everybody's gone
I know we're afraid when love is trying
To save any howAnd I've thought about it and I've prayed about it
Out loud, out loud
And we can talk about it, we can pray about it
Out loud, out loudAin't it time we need a change
We need to change a few things, a few things
I think it's time we need a change
We need to change a few things, a few thingsWell, I've thought about it and I've prayed about it
Out loud, out loud
And we can talk about it, we can pray about it
Out loud, out loud
