How can I keep silent when I know the truth? How can I stand idly by with the privileged few? There's criminals in power; the keepers of the lie They say you've got salvation when they know you're gonna die I don't wanna be the one to bring the curtain down I'd much rather stay at home and keep what I have found But Jesus didn't call me to do what I would do So how can I keep silent when I know the truth? What is it that binds me? What can keep me down? In my very heart of hearts, who shall wear the crown? But as I read and as I bleed, oh, my heart is fixed And if I follow blind men, well, we'll fall in the ditch [Chorus] Oh Lord I can't justify what the ones above me do Oh Lord I can testify nothing more or less will do And I'll be your witness in the wild The dragon stands in front of me The virgin's been defiled, Oh God ... How can I keep silent when I know the truth? I ask myself one question: What would Jesus do? [Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
