Highest Stakes |
| A warm welcome to the new arrivals |
| You’ve been long overdue |
| Excuse us for the way we’ve kept our world |
| Now it’s all up to you |
| We need some kind of new revival |
| To save much more than our souls |
| No Bible’s gonna turn this thing around |
| No laws will patch up the hole |
| And the children will teach us of living and caring |
| I just pray that it happens in time |
| They will finally reach us through giving and sharing |
| They will touch us with rhythm and rhyme |
| We were prayin' for a tribe of teachers |
| To come and show us the way |
| To lead us from our own confusion |
| They’re arriving today |
| They’ll take us past our T.V. preachers |
| And take our hands for our eye |
| We’re so in need of inspiration |
| And not just another disguise |
| And the river of life will be flowing and knowing |
| Then we all will be learning of love |
| All the love that we have will be showing and growing |
| And the skies will be clearing above |
| Let there be no mistakes |
| The highest stakes of all |
| Could be gambled away |
| We’ve always had our cake |
| This time we ate it all |
| Will we have it again? |
| What will tomorrow bring |
| If everything is gone |
| Can we stop it today? |
| 'Cause we’ve been borrowing |
| From children still to come |
| We’re still looking for one man to save us |
| While we’re totally blind |
| We’re the victims of our own expectations |
| Falling so far behind |
| We’re neglecting what the Good Lord gave us |
| When we’re closing our minds |
| Listen closely to the next generation |
| They can save us this time |
| And the children will see through the curtain of darkness |
| And the river will bring back the day |
| We’ll be turning our backs on the lying and heartless |
| And the love will be back here to stay |
| Let there be no mistakes |
| The highest stakes of all |
| Could be gambled away |
| We’ve always had our cake |
| This time we ate it all |
| Will we have it again? |
| What will tomorrow bring |
| If everything is gone |
| Can we stop it today? |
| 'Cause we’ve been borrowing |
| From children still to come |
| Heaven knows we need friends |
| Let there be no mistakes |
| The highest stakes of all |
| Could be gambled away |
| We’ve always had our cake |
| This time we ate it all |
| Will we have it again? |
| What will tomorrow bring |
| If everything is gone |
| Can we stop it today? |
| 'Cause we’ve been borrowing |
| From children still to come |
