Shout It From The Rooftops Lyrics

Go shout it from the rooftops
There's going to be a meeting up yonder
Crawl out of the malaise
Out from the vices that you're under

Let it echo through the streets
From the bars, the high-rises to the prisons
It's time to cast out your thieves
It's time to let go of your skeletons

Don't bring nothing you can't die with
Don't bring nothing you think you need
You can't swim across a river
With arms full of useless things

Say goodbye to skin your wearing
Say goodbye to the name you've known
And lets walk out in that water
Hand in hand, no one lets go

Come and lay your burdens down
You know we're the same once we're in the ground
Let this be a chance to turn things around
Even if you don't have no faith
No matter what god you claim
Just never let the devil win again

When will a Sunday
Not divide up this town
Ain't no color in the bible
Till 10 o'clock service comes around

Watch out for churches that have been built
Brick by brick on self-interest
Neon crucifixes glowing in shame
Villainous voices saying 'as god as my witness'

But we're going to keep on marching on
We're going to look death in the eye
We're going live courageously
We're going love and not care why
We aint looking for any prize
At the end of all this
We won with love in our hearts
And forgiveness rolled in our fists

Come and lay your burdens down
You know we're the same once we're in the ground
Let this be a chance to turn things around
Even if you don't have no faith
No matter what god you claim
Just never let the devil win again
