I hear voices, raised in anger

Every which way I turn
I cannot escape the pain
Whether it's mine or not
It's always been the same

I hear voices, raised in anger
See faces contorted, constrained
No matter the timing: stranger
I just cannot face it again

I hide away from the turmoil
Try to escape from the jaws
Of hungry mouths that feed on
The pain of another soul's flaws

I hear voices, raised in anger
See faces contorted, constrained
No matter the timing: stranger
I just cannot face it again

The whole world is crying
The earth screams out your name
Why are we all still vying?
For peace that cannot but fail again

I hear voices, raised in anger
See faces contorted, constrained
No matter the timing: stranger
I just cannot face it again

Our poor old earth lays dying 
Do you care if she will ever be saved?
People afraid to meet their maker
Refusing to follow Him, this He craves

I hear voices, raised in anger
See faces contorted, constrained
No matter the timing: stranger
I just cannot face it again

Dear Jesus please come save us
We are lost and alone...
You have already paid our freedom
But we have yet to atone...

I hear voices, raised in anger
See faces contorted, constrained
No matter the timing: stranger
I just cannot face it again
