When the things that you can’t hold on to
Are the ones that you wish you could keep
Are you really ready to pay for love
If it costs you everything?

All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath

I believe in a world that’s beyond me
I believe in a world I ain’t seen
Past the glass, and shotgun shacks
Violent faceless racist facts
I believe in a world that’s made clean

All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath

Underneath these scars
Underneath these wars
Underneath the bullet holes
We still don’t know who we are
Just shining underneath
Shining underneath

Oh, I’ve been waiting for love to give birth
New life to show pain it’s worth
I’ve been waiting for peace on earth
Like a newborn child
Oh, like a newborn child
Shining underneath

Is there a well that [bad word] empty?
Is there a friend that can’t be bought?
You’ll find them when you’re thirsty
Learn the lesson that can’t be taught

All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneath
