==Lyrics==
Take a look around
Can't you see what's right in front of you?
Aah
Have a little taste
No more time to waste
Come on, sing along everybody now
(God Given)
And He gives us sight
And we see the light
Come on, sing along everybody now
(God Given)
And He gives us sight
And we see the light
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We're the chosen ones
I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from
His mouth and He wants me to tell you
