[Verse 1]
We've got flood rising water
We've got smoke in the sky
Desperate mothers and fathers
And kids with tears in their eyes
We're crying out
We're crying out
[Verse 2]
Never been so connected
Never been so alone
Broken and misdirected
And now we're homesick for home
We're crying out
We're crying out
We're crying out
[Chorus]
Oh, we could use a little heaven down here
All around the world, we're praying, "Spirit, come near"
Jesus, we need you, couldn't be more clear
Oh, we could use a little heaven down here
Bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, down, down
Bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, down, down
[Verse 3]
We need some hope in these headlines
We need eyes that can see
Get some gold in this pavement
Get the world on its knees
We're crying out
We're crying out
We're crying out
We're crying out
[Chorus]
Oh, we could use a little heaven down here
All around the world, we're praying, "Spirit, come near"
Jesus, we need you, couldn't be more clear
Oh, we could use a little heaven down here
Bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, down, down
Bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, down, down
[Bridge]
Your will and your way is better
So come back, put us back together
On earth as it is in heaven
We're crying out
[Chorus]
Oh, we could use a little heaven down here
All around the world, we're praying, "Spirit, come near"
Jesus, we need you, couldn't be more clear
Oh, we could use a little heaven down here
Bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, down, down
Bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, down, down
