All of God's Children Songtext

von Jon Foreman

When the things that you can't hold on to
Are the things that you wish you could
Are you really ready to pay for love
If it costs you everything?

All of God's children
All of God's children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath

I believe in a world that's beyond me
I believe in a world I ain't seen
Past the glass, and shotgun shacks
Violent faceless racist facts
I believe in a world that's made clean

All of God's children
All of God's children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath

Underneath these wars
Underneath these walls
Underneath the bullet holes
I still don't know who we are
It's shining underneath
Oh, I've been waiting for love to give birth
New life to show pain its worth
I've been waiting for peace on Earth
Like a newborn child
Oh, like a newborn child
Shining underneath

Is there a well that won't run empty?
Is there a friend that can't be bought?
You'll find them when you're thirsty
Learn the lesson that can't be taught
All of God's children
All of God's children
All of God's children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath
