Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I used to ride my bike down the street three miles

And my mama never thought about it twice

Cause everybody looked out for everybody else.

I was never ever, ever by myself.

Now it's slippin' away and

I need You to save me right now, right now.


Chorus

Something's gotta change.

The beauty of the pain

Is that we do not stay the same

But we grow and we show

We are stronger than before.

When we reach for something more

And in the face of hate

Pour out love like rain.

Something's gotta change.


I don't wanna be just another put-on.

Yeah, tell me where has my heart gone.

I need to believe faith isn't just a word

That I stutter to the hurt inside

I need to see it and be it

The realness of Jesus right now, right now.


Something's gotta change.

The beauty of the pain

Is that we do not stay the same

But we grow and we show

We are stronger than before.

When we reach for something more

And in the face of hate

Pour out love like rain.

Something's gotta change.


It could be beautiful and brand new

But only if it's me hand in hand with You.


Something's gotta change.

The beauty of the pain

Is that we do not stay the same

But we grow and we show

We are stronger than before.

When we reach for something more

And in the face of hate

Pour out love like rain.

Something's gotta change.
