The Cure

If it hurts, if it’s more than you can even afford
If it falls on your pride and parade like a storm
If it means you don’t know how you’re gonna arrive
If it pushes you back to the end of the line
If it’s blood, sweat and tears without credit or shine
It’s the cure for us all, selfless sacrifice

I wanna believe in what He said
I wanna believe the life He lead
I wanna change the world by changing me
And love just like He did

What if we all decided
To treat everyone as if
They had unsurpassable worth
Would we see heaven on earth?

If it has no exceptions, no limits or bounds
If it flows from a heart bleeding for someone else
If it means being faithful though you’ve been betrayed
If it looks like a God who who would rather die
Than kill his own enemies, I cannot define
Selfless sacrifice in a better way

There’s no greater love than to give your life
There’s no greater love than sacrifice

What if we all decided
To treat everyone as if
They had unsurpassable worth
Would this be the cure for the world?
Would this be the cure for the world?

There’s no reason that a man should live in poverty or die alone
Let the flags fall; what’s a country? You’re my brother; all I have is yours
For the sake of our children, for the slaves who could never dream
