The homeless is still homeless, the poor is still poor
Yet we find billions of dollars to fund senseless wars
And yes, we're fighting terrorism, what about the quiet racism
Divided among ourselves, somebody's crying for help
Heaven is listening
Listening
Heaven is watching
Watching
Heaven knows
Knows
And they may not play this on the radio
'Cause the devil don't want you to know
If we don't stop the hypocrisy
The nation will lose it's soul
They'd rather play music about money and sex
Like we don't have no intellect
Somebody need to show some respect
'Cause God ain't through with us yet
Heaven is listening
Listening
Heaven is watching
Watching
Heaven knows
Knows
Heaven knows, heaven knows the preachers that's not preachin'
Heaven knows
And heaven knows the teachers that's not teachin'
Knows
Heaven knows the politicians that's stealing
Heaven knows, heaven knows the ones that are out there killing
Oh, heaven knows that the world needs a revival
Heaven knows
That we've walked away from the Bible
Knows
Heaven knows that the world needs healing
Heaven knows
That somewhere we've lost our feelin'
Heaven is listening
Listening
Heaven is watching
Watching
Heaven knows
Knows
Heaven is listening
Listening
Heaven is watching
Watching
Heaven knows
Knows
Heaven is listening
Heaven is watching
Heaven knows
The homeless is still homeless, the poor is still poor
Yet we find billions of dollars to fund senseless wars
And yes, we're fighting terrorism, what about the quiet racism
