Lyrics
I often ask the question,
"How did we get this way?"
Still no answer
Still no answer
Christian hypocrisy
As often as I pray
Still no answer
Still no answer

But it's hard to forget the days
I've been a sinful man
Why this world is still a haze
I can't understand
Seeking the Almighty's face
Lead by His hand
Praying for abundant grace
To cover all the land

Why can't they see
The peace you brought to me?
That will be the day
I can proudly say,
That will be the day when
I shout, "Amen!"

Description
Verse:
Why is there so much bad in the world? I'm trying to find an answer in my head, but have not been listening to God enough to get one.

Refrain:
I was once a big part of the bad in the world, and here I am asking God to take away the badness in the rest of the world. He took away my badness, so He can take away that of the world too.

Chorus:
Now that He's filled my life with such beauty, I wonder if I'm not a bright enough light for the world to see. When the light that He gave me finally shines throughout the world (or heaven for that matter), I will shout, "Amen" at the top of my lungs!

Overall:
This song lays out a prayer for peace in the world, and touches up on how I was not such a contributor to the world's peace before. I am going to shine even brighter than the day before, hoping that people might see its beauty, and when they do, I will shout, "Amen!"

Acts 3:19
"Repent then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
