Lyrics:

(Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Gary Chapman, Jerry McPherson) One had vision One came bringing its doom One saw napalm One heard the man in the moon We were children of promise We were heirs to their dreams [Chorus:] Tell me, why then is the hand slow And the dog bites, well, I don't know But the sky will fall And heads will roll And it's all that we can do To wait for the healing Hungry hearted reason coming of age Running headlong into the latest rage Always reaching within us Claiming the answers are there [Chorus] For to carry on For to stand when all is said and done In the shadow of the rising sun Longing, waiting for the healing We are children of promise We are heirs to the dream [Chorus] For to carry on For to stand when all is said and done In the shadow of the rising sun Longing, waiting for the healing
