Will Reagan - Willing To Change Lyrics

If your home isn't safe for your children Brave in a world that is changin' If you're graspin' at straws and afraid of the cause Have you lost what you tried to preserve? When our culture has woven insidious themes Of self-preservation through any means There's nothing left in the vaults we protect It's time to grieve

We've got to be willing to change We've got to be willing to grow We've got to be open to love In the places we didn't expect to go

We've guarded our homes with our God and our guns The world seems a terrible foe Forgetting the seeds that our Savior gave Might need that world to grow

We've got to be willing to change We've got to be willing to grow We've got to be open to love In the places we didn't expect to go

When our rituals serve our economy best Forsaking the needs of our souls We desperately needed a challenge But preferred to be sugar-fed

We've got to be willing to change We've got to be willing to grow We've got to be open to love In the places we didn't expect to go

We've got to be willing to change We've got to be willing to grow We've got to be open to love In the places we didn't expect to go We've got to be willing to bend We've got to be willing to show That there's more to love than self-preservation There's more in our faith than our fears and temptations We've asked the oppressed to be endlessly patient Building up walls while they lie on the pavement If saying change is compromise Then you're just tryin' to be wise But maybe it's time to revise this song
