Hey friend why are we always hiding It's no wonder that we're sinking down Why should we stand in lonely shadows With so much light around Hey friend why are we always crying So many tears are gonna dry us out Whatever they're selling we've gotta stop buying 'Cause our pockets are empty now I've thought about And I've prayed about it Out loud, out loud We can talk about it We can pray about it Out loud, out loud Hey friend why are we always fighting Who's left to hit when everybody's down I know we're afraid but love is trying To save us anyhow And I've thought about 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 Ain't it time we need a change We need to change A few things, a few things I think we need to change A few things, a few things Well 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
