Don't Take Away Love Lyrics

---------------------------
Do you remember the 13th of September
When everybody thought that the world would end
1989 has come, maybe by now it's gone
I don't even know if they'll hear this song
Will we last that long?

God, don't take away love
God, you must be greater, must be greater

Men who bought their authority, the pillars of society
I don't know how we can go on this way
Poisoning the lakes and the air.  It's only getting worse from here
How can we believe what they're saying
I'm praying

God, don't take away love
God, is this really the end, really the end?

I quit playing their game
I quit fooling myself
I quit worshipping this
Or playing the pawn to the greed and the lies
'Cause I know in my heart it could be far greater
Like the mountains that humble my eyes
Like the sea that's greater than me
Like the stars we'll never reach

God, don't take away love
God, you must be greater, must be greater

Sleeping in a cardboard box
Freezing by a door that's locked
Of a church that's made of glass, stone, and nothing more
THe book has foretold the tale, so all they do is sit and wait
They say, "There's nothing we can do, it's too late,"
But I say... that...

God, won't take away love
God, you must be greater, must be great
God, don't take away love
God, is this really the end, really the end?
Don't take away love
