All Of Gods Children - Jon Foreman Lyrics

When the things that you can’t hold onto
Are the ones that you wish you could keep
Are you really ready to pay for love
If it costs you everything
All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath
I believe in a world that’s beyond me
I believe in a world I ain’t seen
Past the glass
The shotgun shacks
The violent, faceless, racist facts
I believe in a world that’s made clean
All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath
Underneath these wars
Underneath these walls
Underneath the bullet holes
I still don’t know who we are
But it’s shining underneath
Oh, I’ve been waiting for love to give birth
New life to show pain it’s worth
I’ve been waiting for peace on earth
Like a newborn child
Oh, like a newborn child
Shining underneath
Is there a well that won’t run empty
Is there a friend that can’t be bought
Will you find him when you’re thirsty
To learn the lessons that can’t be taught
All of God’s children
All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath
Shining underneath
