Matt Redman - Twenty Seven Million lyrics
[Matt Redman - Twenty Seven Million lyrics]
It astounds me that not only does human
Trafficking exist on the earth today
But there are actually more slaves that there
Have ever been before in the
History of humanity it’s
Almost incomprehensible
See what the world’s done, came to London
She's a nothing, a no one, she’s undone
Broken dreams, stolen freedom
Trapped in the night trafficked and beaten
All a part of an evil economy
Nothing more than someone’s commodity
A precious being like you and me
A daughter, a sister, a somebody
She was drawn by the bright lights
She was tied up in their lies
She works right through to daylight
No voice, she’s a slave to the night
27 million, like me
(that's 27 million on this cruel journey)
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
After the man left, she's nothing left
No one, no love, no one to call her friend
She's stuck in the pit of hell
She's almost sick from the smell
She's numb, she's dead from the inside out
Her heart is screaming but you
Don't hear the shout who’s the voice?
Who’s gonna to break the door down?
Who wakes her up from the nightmare now?
She was drawn by the bright lights
She was tied up in their lies
She works right through to daylight
No voice, she’s a slave to the night
27 million, like me
(27 million need Heavens' mercy)
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up we've got to rise up
Open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
27 million - are you joking?
How do we let evil get so tight a grip
Watching while the world falls apart?
How do we let this stuff begin?
We're not bothered if this offends
Because you got people that can defend
But they ain't got that they got nothing
Sometimes you gotta stand for something
Let this be the stand that
Gets your blood running
Little girl don't cry
Let me dry your eyes in the darkest night
(you're not alone) hold on through the storm
You're not on your own
Hold on, love will come
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
We've got to rise up open our eyes up
Be her voice, be her freedom
Come on stand up
