[Spoken Intro: Kirk Franklin] For every little girl and every little boy Whose mother and father is across the waters Fighting a war that they know nothing about We pray for you tonight God help us Listen [Chorus: Brian McKnight & (Kirk Franklin)] We're running out of time Can't waste it (Can't waste it) Have you seen the news today? War is on the uprise He said it was to be this way But Lord, I know that millions won't make it (Yes Lord) This life's all I have to live And I'll gladly give it To be one of the ones who did (Thank you) [Verse 1: Brian McKnight] Ever since creation We been counting down the time from then to now and we will see Nations fighting nations I hide the word inside my heart, then I read about Men inventing weapons of mass destruction To tear us all apart But like the rising of the sun We're waiting for you to come and take us away Those of us who believe in you Believe me when I say [Chorus: Brian McKnight & (Kirk Franklin)] We're running out of time Can't waste it (Have you seen it?)
