Grunge to Grace

I'm horrified by the shadow of hate
And when the ones who spread light keep on showing up late
Well, we wait for a song that will take us there
To a place where there's love everywhere
To a place where there's love everywhere

I'm mystified by the web of outrage
And why the ones sharing peace are always getting upstaged
What if we could spin the whole world into a song
Would we hear that we all can belong
Would we hear that we all can belong

Well, my body burns, my fingers laced
How do I turn the grunge to grace
We're on a rock that's flying through space
I know we'll all see better days

Unspecified, none of us are immune
And when the ones who write songs keep on leaving too soon
What is life but a wheel or a stair to far away
What is love but a reason to stay
What is love but a reason to stay

And my body burns, my fingers laced
How do I turn the grunge to grace
Though the grief runs deep in the lines of your face
I know we'll all see better days
Better days

And all the colors of the planet singing
If we could learn the words, we'd have no doubt
But we're burying our heads and smoke is rising
All we need is time enough to figure it out

We're unified in our loneliest hours
As we stare at each other from our ivory towers
But way up high there, a truth will shine
The whole world is yours and it's mine
The whole world is yours and it's mine

Oh, my body burns, my fingers laced
How do I turn the grunge to grace
There's a great force of love in the human race
I know we'll all see better days
