The world moves fast today, and I can't keep up at all
'Cause what is here one day is out the door the next
It's hard to know one's place, to find that needed space
Magazines and TV screens want pieces of my time,
I see the smiling faces, I hear the pretty words
Telling me what's right and how to find the light

And everywhere decay seems to have gained the ground that once was God's
In all of this it's hard to live a righteous life
But still I try... The world is spinning faster now,
its getting harder to hold on to this merry-go-round
You made it all so beautiful
If we had played by the rules, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in And in this changing place where anything goes
I sometimes loose my ground
Distracted by the noise that comes from all around
To take the peace I've found
But in the night, piercing through my troubled mind
I hear God's voice
"Through all this I've given you my righteousness to set you free I'm sitting in the hand of God, and while the ocean is rolling,
I'm watching the glimmering lights
I feel your presence here and when the storm sets in,
You'll be guiding your people home again
