I use to do interpretive dance when I was growing up. One of the songs that my dance team interpreted has been a favorite song since then
Of course, with interpretive dance, you have to really listen to the words, and this song has always had me thinking.
So I thought I would throw it out into the world and let you ponder on the words for yourself.
The name of the song is Save the World (Up to Us): Sung by Eric Champion in 1992.
I have copied a link for a video to the song. Also, I have added the words to this so you can read them..
This song is true for me; I am tired of reading the newspaper etc.
So my question to myself and everyone else, “Are you and I doing our part to help save the world?”
“Who is going to act? Are we going to let our neighborhoods burn down?” Jesus did His part. Now let’s do ours.
.Save the World (Up to Us)
Eric Champion 1992
I am tired of reading the newspaper
I’m tired of watching the news
I’m sick of all the horror
I’m fed up with all the gloom
Is this a world where you would want to raise a family of your own? It’s got to change or we may find there’s nothing left to call home.
Chorus:
Stakes are so high. Do or die.
Life, the ultimate prize.
Who’s gonna stop this world from goin’ under We’ve got the power, but the hour is comin’ to an end.
Here is the call. It’s up to us to save the world.
Wake up and smell the blood shed
See the sight and remember it well.
While you’re napping in your padded churches, there’s a neighborhood going to hell.
This is the world you made so you could raise a family of your own. So much of man’s creation. Let’s put trust in God back on the throne
Chorus x2:
Stakes are so high. Do or die.
Life, the ultimate prize.
Who’s gonna stop this world from goin’ under We’ve got the power, but the hour is comin’ to an end.
Here is the call. It’s up to us to save the world
This is mission our generation has been handed down to do
We are for such a time as this.
The new crusade will follow through
Chorus Out
