lyrics

What price a human life?
Who dares to sell a human life?
How can we accept this slavery
Growing and halfway legal in our century?

What price a woman’s smile?
Who dares to steal a woman’s smile?
What beauty and worth is desecrated here?
And how can even perfect love end this kind of fear?

Fill us up with your furious love.
Wake us up to your restless mercy.
Send us out with your jealous redemption
Till they’re free – till they’re free.

What price a little child?
Who dares buy a little child?
Each one unique and so perfectly made,
Carrying your image and died for – how can they not be safe?

Smash the chains holding captives down.
Break the links that pass people to be sold.

End the lies claiming change can’t be won.
God of freedom – let your kingdom come
Even here – even here
Till they’re free – till they’re free.

What price for change to come?
Who dares pay for justice to be done?
I will not accept as commodities
People loved and treasured so infinitely.

Fill me up with your furious love.
Wake me up to your restless mercy.
Send me out with your jealous redemption
Till they’re free – till they’re free.

So what price a comfortable life?
Do I dare buy the lie I can’t fight this fight?
You paid the price for my apathy –
Open my eyes to see the chains of choosing not to see...
(what you see.)
