27 Million Lyrics - Singles - Lz7 And Matt Redman

See what the worlds done 

Came to London 

Shes a nothing a no one shes undone 

Broken dreams, stolen freedom 

Trapped in the night 

Trafficked and beaten 

All a part of an evil economy 

Nothing more than someones commodity 

A precious being, like you or me 

A daughter, a sister, a somebody 

pre-chorus: 

She was drawn by the bright lights 

She was tied up in their lies 

She worked right through to daylight 

No voice, shes a slave to the night 

27 million like me! 

Thats 27 million on this cruel journey 

chorus: 

We got to rise up 

Open our eyes up 

Be her voice 

Be her freedom 

Come on, stand up! 

After the man left 

Shes nothing left 

No one, no love, no one to call a friend 

Shes stuck in a pit of hell 

Shes almost sick from the smell 

Shes numb, shes dead from the inside out 

Her heart is screaming but you dont hear the shout 

Whos the voice? Whos going to break the door down? 

Who wakes her up from the nightmare now? 

(prechorus) 

27 million who need Heavens mercy! 

(chorus) 

27 million are you joking? 

How could we let evil get so tight a grip? 

Watching while the world falls apart 

How did we let this stuff begin? 

Were not bothered if this offends 

Cuz you got people that can defend 

But they aint got that, they got nothing 

Sometimes we gotta stand for something 

Let this be the stand that gets your blood running 

Little girl, dont cry 

Let me dry your eyes 

In the darkest night 

(You are not alone) 

Hold on through the storm 

Youre not on your own 

Hold on, love will come 

(chorus)
