Ray Boltz - What Are We Doing Here? Lyrics
What Are We Doing Here?Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Steve Millikan and Ray BoltzLast days, big cityWhat a place to liveHigh rise accommodationsAre so executiveReal life, just around the cornerTake a walk aroung the blockPass by a family in the alleySleeping in a paper boxCHORUS:What are we doing here?Do we spend our timeWaiting on heaven?What are we doing here?Should we pack our bagsThe moment we're forgiven?Oh, there's a worldThat needs to knowJesus loves them soHis commission seems quite clearWhat are we doing here?They say we are pilgrimsJust passing throughStrangers in a strange landThat's me and youOne day we'll be up in gloryWalking on streets of goldBut right now my feetAre on the pavementAnd I just want to knowCHORUSI see a starving brotherIn a foreign landI see a homeless childReaching out his handI see a world so angryI can feel the rageI see a city dyingFilled with crack cocaineI hear the lions roarThe tires squealA generation saying what is realIf we know the truthIf we know the wayThere ought to be somethingWe can do or sayWe need to make a standTake a walkWin this city,Do it block by blockStand up tallAnd preach it without fearIf we won't do itThen what are we doing here?1992 Word Music (a div. of Word, Inc.), Shepherd Boy Music (adm. by Word, Inc.) and Weedom
