If I sing a new song It had better be one worth singing Not just for a quick buck God knows that these verses don’t bring it You cried for justice while I hummed a tune You call the righteous now I’m asking You Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world? If I sing a new song It had better be one I’m living Not just sunday morning A cup of coffee, high notes, and giving You want us faithful We bargain for power You want the whole thing I offered an hour Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world? ‘cause if there’s one song Well I’ll die to sing it Don’t care bout hit songs Preached to the choir Wake up, You giant! Quit lullabying Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world? If I sing a new song It had better ring out with justice Not just for its own sake With tired lines and old borrowed phrases When yours is kingdom, don’t need market share? You’d kick over tables in our house of prayer Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world? ‘cause if there’s one song Im gonna sing it Don’t care bout hit songs Preach to the choir Wake up, You giant! Quit lullabying Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world? (one) God is with You and His song is (love) more than strong enough to rescue (come) He’s delighted so be silent And You’ll hear that He’s been singing
