What have we done to this world'
What have we done'
We wasted everything that lies beneath the sun,
You give us everything, from the canyons to the moraines,
You give us roses; we give you stems and thorns.

What have spent our time on'
What have we spent'
We wasted everything that you alone have sent,
You give us everything; the curtain has been torn,
You give us roses; we give you stems and thorns.

You offer life, though we say we've got everything,
It cuts like a knife into the heart of the King,
You offer hope; we go for our own way instead,
Our tangled sin becomes a crown'a crown for your head.

What have we gave ourselves to'
What have we gave'
We offer nothing to the one who came to save,
You give us everything, from old to newly born,
You give us roses; we give you stems and thorns.
