Song Lyrics

Everybody get out on the floor
We ain't gonna live this lie no more
Baby if you feel it raise your hand
You ain't alone just shout it with the band - Sanctuary

America's on trial
There's been convictions but no crime
Our government's conspired
To make Jesus a liar

We got brothers and sisters in trouble
They're knocking on our door
Somebody who ain't qualified says who will live and who will die
Somebody tell me
What's that lady standing in all that water for?

Don't tell me stories of long gone glory
It's time to keep the promise
Give somebody sanctuary
Don't let me down now we've come too far now
Open your heart now
Give somebody sanctuary

Pharoah has a new name
We live blind in the eye of the hurricane
Our conscience has slowly been bought off
We're mute witness to the new holocaust

We are here standing for freedom
Justice for all down the line
Somebody who ain't qualified says who will live and who will die
Somebody tell me
What's that piece of paper mean that all those suckers signed?

We are the enemy
We are the hypocrites
We are the morally vacant
We are the terrorists
What a shame

Brothers and sisters in trouble
Give me your tired your poor
Somebody who ain't qualified says who will live and who will die
Somebody tell me
What's that lady standing in all that water for?

Michael W. Smith, Mark Harris, Loren Balman
