God Save Us All
Rallying Cry for Change: God Save Us All by Lenny Kravitz
Lyrics
We need a leader
We are in need of a leader.
We can't seem to help ourselves
Despite our capability, we struggle to help ourselves.
Fighting and lying
There is conflict and deception among us.
We can't seem to let it go
We find it challenging to release these negative behaviors.
We live each day
Every day is lived with a sense of limited time.
On a small piece of borrowed time
We exist with a fragile and borrowed existence.
Why aren't we trying
Why aren't we making an effort?
To enjoy this crazy ride
We should try to enjoy the unpredictable journey of life.
What are we gonna do about it ?
Expressing concern about the current situation; what actions should we take?
God save us all
Calling for divine intervention or guidance.
God save us all
Repetition for emphasis on the plea for salvation.
God save us all
Emphasizing the need for collective salvation.
If we really try
Suggesting that salvation is achievable if genuine effort is made.
Maybe we can make it
Expressing hope that, with effort, positive change is possible.
We need a teacher
Highlighting the need for a guiding figure or mentor.
We must learn to see the light
We must learn to perceive the positive aspects of life.
Let's get together
Advocating for unity and collaboration.
This world needs us to do right
The world requires us to do what is morally right.
There's too much poverty, sickness
Enumerating societal issues such as poverty and illness.
There's pain and strife
Expressing the existence of pain and struggle in the world.
Why aren't we trying
Questioning why we aren't actively trying to make life better.
To improve this thing called life
We should strive to enhance the quality of life.
What are we gonna do about it ?
Pondering the actions we should take to address existing issues.
God save us all
Repetition for emphasis on the plea for divine intervention.
God save us all
Repetition emphasizing the urgency of seeking salvation.
God save us all
Reiterating the collective need for divine help.
If we really try
Belief that, with genuine effort, positive change is attainable.
Maybe we can make it
Expressing hope that, through effort, positive outcomes can be achieved.
