Look at all the needy, the selfish and the greedy,
Oh Lord, I just can't take, MAN ALIVE!
This world could use great healing, not murder, rape and stealing,
The lands are in an uproar, MAN ALIVE!
I wake with broken heart, for a world that just can start,
To see the end of killing, MAN ALIVE!
It's so hard to live, in a world that can't forgive,
We need to find the truth here, MAN ALIVE!
When will fighting cease, when will man know peace,
It seems that it's all endless, MAN ALIVE!
Self-righteous cold debaters, so many ruthless haters,
So very disappointing, MAN ALIVE!
Some children's hearts are lacking, they're in the schools attacking,
Oh Lord, we need your glory, MAN ALIVE!
Families needing mending, hypocrites pretending,
Faith is fading swiftly, MAN ALIVE!
When will all embrace, the love of godly grace,
Why do they turn away, Lord, MAN ALIVE!
"They turn away, my child, for such ignorance runs wild,
And the coming times are here now, man's alive!
For more and more are turning, to a faith so filled with burning
Of a passion which is fruitful, man's alive!
Don't be disappointed, for the Holy One's anointed,
Will be seen among the many, man's alive!
Though the world looks grim, there is always faith in HIM,
For the Son of God is coming, man's alive!
If the world seems dreary, there is hope there for the weary,
For I have not forsaken, man's alive!
Look now toward the day, when all hate shall pass away,
It is not long in coming, man's alive!
Pray now for the yearning, of the faithful's sweet returning,
It is soon to be forever, man's alive!
For all who turn to me, with glory's light upon them see,
Heaven's Heart is waiting, man's alive!
God's blessings shine upon the man who loves the dawn,
And this, my dear, for all who are alive!"
