Twenty Seven Million

Twenty Seven Million - Matt Redman

It astounds me that not only does

Human trafficking exist on the earth today

But there are actually more slaves than there have

Ever been before in the history of humanity

It's almost incomprehensible

See what the worlds done

Came to London she's a nothing

A no one she's undone

Broken dreams stolen freedom

Trapped in the night trafficked and beaten

All a part of an evil economy

Nothing more than someones commodity

A precious being like you and me

A daughter a sister a somebody

She was drawn by the bright lights

She was tied up in their lights

She worked right through the daylight

No voice she's a slave to the night

27 million like me

(That's 27 million on this cruel journey )

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

After the man left she's nothing left

No one no love no one to call her friend

She's stuck in the pit of hell

She's almost sick from the smell

She's numb she's dead from the inside out

Her heart is screaming

But you don't hear the shout

Who's the voice

Who's going to break the door down

Who wakes her up from the nightmare now

She was drawn by the bright lights

She was tied up in their lights

She worked right through the daylight

No voice she's a slave to the night

27 million like me

(That's 27 million that need Heavens mercy )

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

27 million are you joking

How do we let evil get so tight a grip

Watching while the world falls apart

How do we let this stuff begin

We're not bothered if this offends

Cause you got people that can defend

But they ain't got that they got nothing

Sometimes you gotta stand for something

Let this be the stand that

Gets your blood running

Little girl don't cry

Let me dry your eyes

In the darkest night

(You're not alone )

Hold on through the storm

You're not on your own

Hold on love will come

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up

We've got to rise up open our eyes up

Be her voice be her freedom

Come on stand up
