Come on, have you heard the news'
The world is dying as we sit in the pews,
So get up, we are the light of the world,
You got the power, the freedom to chose.

A child's hope for the future,
Turning to you and me.

Draw the line, never give in 'til the race is over,
Follow your heart,
Ooh, just a matter of time 'til this race is won.

Teacher, teacher caught you praying in school,
"Naughty, naughty," boy, you're breaking the rule,
Don't give up, ooh, just stick to the word,
Time for action; we need to be heard.

Children look to the future,
They're turning to you and me.

Draw the line, never give in 'til the race is over,
Follow your heart,
Ooh, just a matter of time 'til the race is won.

Sometimes it feels like we're banging the walls, playing a game,
God's love within us tears down the wall and opens the way.

Draw the line, never give in 'til the race is over,
Follow your heart,
Ooh, just a matter of time 'til the race is won,
Draw the line, never give in 'til the race is over,
Follow your heart,
Ooh, just a matter of time 'til the race is won,
Draw the line.
