Lyrics
Hey God, we need some help down here
Invocation for divine assistance in a challenging situation.
The devil's been a busy man
Reference to the devil's negative influence throughout the year.
Bullyin' us all year
Describes the devil's behavior as bullying over the year.
He's spinnin' lies, made us pick a side

It's gottеn dark, we need a spark
Expressing the need for divine intervention to overcome darkness.
Of your gospel truth
Calling for the truth from religious teachings.
'Cause in the end, we're all the same
Emphasizing commonality despite apparent differences.
Even though we're different too
Acknowledging diversity while highlighting shared humanity.
So, Lord I pray, with all my might
Reiteration of the plea for divine guidance and understanding.
Help us see each other through your eyes
Encouraging empathy and compassion for others.
