Sarah's screaming,
another daddy's leaving
How can that much hurt be justified?
Frankie's a dealer, his nickname is "The Healer"
He makes a living helping people die

Babies making babies,
people going crazy
Andy's new best friend's a .45

Circle us with angels,
walk us through the danger
Give us light to get us through the valley full of shadows
and Deliver us from evil,
we are only people
You know we can't make it on our own
O, Lord, we need
intervention divine

Michael is surfin',
revenge at school is certain
He's clicking triple-w dot bomb
Street gang invasions,
we've become a dead-bolt nation
Security and innocence are gone
We're still discriminating,
we're angry and we're hating
We're living in a modern Babylon

Circle us with angels,
walk us through the danger
Give us light to get us through the valley full of shadows
and Deliver us from evil,
we are only people
You know we can't make it on our own
O, Lord, we need
intervention divine

From America to Asia
Europe to Australia
We're on our knees,
Lord hear your children cry

Circle us with angels,
walk us through the dangers
Give us light to get us through the valley full of shadows
And deliver us from evil
We are only people
You know we can't make it on our own
Oh Lord we need you circle us with angels
oh deliver us from evil we are only people...
