Hey World Lyrics - Petra

Words and music by Bob Hartman 

Based on Jeremiah 1: 5, Acts 17: 25 

It could have gone either way when it came down to the choice 

To keep the life within a life that had no voice 

It must have surely seemed the harder road to choose 

To be so young to have to say who had the most to lose 

But she came through like a champ and she blessed the world that day 

Then gave the hope of a better life when she gave him away 

Now the innocence and joy is there each day he wakes 

Expressions of his love of life in every breath he takes 

He could have been thrown away before he had a chance to say

(Chorus) 

Hey world, I am here and I have something to give 

Hey world, I'm alive and I am wanting to live 

He turned to lock the door as he wiped away a tear 

The hopelessness of missing love, his adolescent fear 

As he struggled for the strength to put the gun away 

He found the courage and the hope to face another day 

He could have been blown away before he had a chance to say

Down the corridor or life in between our death and birth 

We may start to lose our way in the search to find our worth 

Our value comes in the fact we live 

Life is a gift only God can give
