it oughta be better
because we lived
it oughta be better because we tried
the world should be better
'cause we gave up
so much better
because we died to ourselves
and rose on the flame
of the Spirit of love
and the power in His name

we just can't give enough
we just can't live enough
the whole world needs His love
we just can't give enough

come on prophets
prophesy
come on dreamers
dream your dreams
come on teachers, speakers,
dancers, singers, all God's sinners
live what it means to be free
of all the things we have done
to be washed in the river of love
of His Son

we just can't give enough
we just can't live enough
the whole world needs his love
we just can't give enough

everybody's a messenger
everybody's got something to say
and anyone who believes in Him
can be another step along the way
that leads to redemption
come on, come on, come on...

we just can't give enough
we just can't live enough
the whole world needs his love
we just can't give enough
