There's a young man in the desert trying to quench a thirst
Looking for answers, trying to find some worth
In a world that doesn't know him, doesn't know anyone
For most it was barren and death on the land
But he dreamed of a life for the dirt in his hands
He looks over his shoulder, he ain't going home
It's a hard thing to fathom, a steady hope
It's not easy to ask for the dirt beneath the feet
Of villager's already struggling to eat
But there's light in that grave, gonna roll back the stone
Salvation, it lays like a mother in wait
For the sound of her children to rise up again
And the veins run deep, how wild they roam
In secret they weave, like honeycomb
Now they sing life has found us again
Rivers teem and flow into streams as we stand together
A cord that's hard to break, nothing lasts forever
But forever it can wait
Decades have gone and millions stand strong
On a green Eastern African plain
From famine and toil, to grain by the ton
See's families finally sustained
When asked what he wants, the man lifts up his hands
And cries, just give me the world
There's a canvas to paint in deep shades of change
Just give me the world
Just give me the world
Just give me the world
