Almighty Nation what's this in the air No explanation but still it is there You hear the talk from the people you meet To meet the people just go down on the street And they believe He's comin' Yes they believe He's comin' So many people confused and afraid Too many shy from commitments they made The change of values and moral decay The damn foundation is slipping away But I believe He's comin' Yes I believe He's comin' Hey lighty-lie do you dare prophesy Do you believe that the millions will die A single nation encamped all around And what will come if her knees hit the ground Do you believe He's comin' Dare not believe He's comin' So now it's time to get ready they say The time of judgement is not far away And if the meek shall inherit the earth Look at yourself brother what are you worth Do you believe He's comin' Like I believe He's comin' Do you believe He's comin' Dare not believe He's comin' Dare not believe! |
