hymn for a new age

Singer:davies, ray

i don't believe that god is a man with white hair

sitting in a big chair

judging the world and its morals

forgiving today so we can sin again tomorrow

but i believe i need something to look up to

i believe i wanna pray but don't know what to

i'm not a born again preacher

my soul's too far gone to be saved

the world is wild and at this stage

we need a hymn for a new age

ooh have you heard the news

bible bashers where are the queues

a saint played a gig but he got crap reviews

the punters didn't like the product or the venue

i need something to connect to

someone to help me through

something i can pray to

this is my hymn for a new age

rewrite the book on a fresh page

if i'm to find god and be saved

i need a hymn for a new age

the invader's arrived now here comes the war

satan keeps knocking at my door

time has come for a new crusade

cast out the evil before they blow the world away

we need a hymn

i believe

i need something to look up to

i believe i wanna pray but don't know what to

we need a hymn for a new age

rewrite the book on a fresh page

if i'm to find god and be saved

i need a hymn for a new age

we need a hymn for a new age

each man build your own cross

for every soul that's ever been lost

life is cheap people take it at no cost

we need a hymn for a new age
