For These Times

[ti:For These Times] [ar:Martina Mcbride] [al:Waking Up Laughing 晨曦微笑] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] In these times in which we live Where the worst of what we live Is laid out for all the world on the front page And the sound of someone's heartbreak Is a soundbite at the news break With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye And stops to pray For these times in which we live In these most uncertain hours Where the balance of power Is a fight that is fought every day And freedom is a word Some cry out and some whisper And some are just too quick to give away Blessed be the one who stands by the one On the battle line For these times in which we live Well give me a heart full of tender mercy And arms I will open wide For these times in which we live Seems like the only answer is Givin' up on findin' one at all And we hide behind unsure Pull the blinds and lock the doors And hang a pleasant picture on the wall Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer And the only breath of life For these times in which we live Well give me a heart full of tender mercy And arms I will open wide Yeah give me words full of loving kindness And hands ready to hold up a light For these times in which we live For these times in which we live Blessed be the child For these times Everybody just stop to pray
