Matt Redman — Twenty Seven Million

It astounds me that not only does human trafficking exist on the earth today But there are actually more slaves that there have ever been before in the History of humanity. it’s almost incomprehensible See what the world’s done, came to London She's a nothing, a no one, she’s undone Broken dreams, stolen freedom, trapped in the night Trafficked and beaten All a part of an evil economy Nothing more than someone’s commodity A precious being like you and me A daughter, a sister, a somebody She was drawn by the bright lights She was tied up in their lies She works right through to daylight No voice, she’s a slave to the night 27 million, like me (that's 27 million on this cruel journey) We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up After the man left, she's nothing left No one, no love, no one to call her friend She's stuck in the pit of hell She's almost sick from the smell She's numb, she's dead from the inside out Her heart is screaming but you don't hear the shout Who’s the voice? Who’s gonna to break the door down? Who wakes her up from the nightmare now? She was drawn by the bright lights She was tied up in their lies She works right through to daylight No voice, she’s a slave to the night 27 million, like me (27 million need Heavens' mercy!) We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up 27 million - are you joking? How do we let evil get so tight a grip Watching while the world falls apart? How do we let this stuff begin? We're not bothered if this offends Because you got people that can defend But they ain't got that they got nothing Sometimes you gotta stand for something Let this be the stand that gets your blood running Little girl don't cry Let me dry your eyes in the darkest night (you're not alone) Hold on through the storm You're not on your own Hold on, love will come We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up We've got to rise up Open our eyes up Be her voice, be her freedom Come on stand up
