Strong God

[Verse 1]
Mayday, mayday (Yeah)
The Earth is shaking (Yeah)
Who gon' save the babies (Yeah)
From another Bloody Sunday?
I'm singing mayday, mayday (Yeah)
They love me or they hate me (Yeah)
For my skin color (Yeah)
But you say I am your brother, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
But the power flows when you catch us on our knees
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong God, yeah
We need the real God, yeah
The God with the resurrection power from the grave
To take away the hate, to heal the human race, yeah

[Chorus]
We need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong God
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
Yuh, yuh, yuh

[Verse 2]
Say mayday, mayday
They say the climate changin'
The poor people in the cold
But you keep preachin' to they soul
But we don't leave 'til everybody's free
And we won't sleep 'til everybody eats (Yeah, yeah)
Until lives matter (Yeah)
More than tithes matter (Sing)

[Pre-Chorus]
The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
But the power flows when you catch us on our knees
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong God, real strong, yeah
We need the real God, yeah, yeah
The God with the resurrection power from the grave
To take away the hate, to heal the human race

[Chorus]
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong God
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
(Let's go)
Yuh, yuh, yuh

[Bridge]
We want justice, we want change (Want change)
You want peace and no more pain (More pain, yeah)
To be equal, to be free (Yes)
Martin's dream is what I need, yeah
We want justice, we want change (Yuh)
You want peace and no more pain (No more pain)
To be equal, to be free (We wanna be free)
Martin's dream is what I need (Yeah)
Just don't preach the gospel
Be the gospel

[Verse 3]
My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
When will we finally see
We need a strong God? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
But the power flows when you catch us on our knees (On our knees)
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong God, yeah
We need the real God
The God with the resurrection power from the grave (Yes)
To take away the hate (Yes), to heal the human race (Come on)
