27 Million

See what the worlds done
Came to London
Shes a nothing a no one shes 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 or me
A daughter, a sister, a somebody

pre-chorus:
She was drawn by the bright lights
She was tied up in their lies
She worked right through to daylight
No voice, shes a slave to the night
27 million like me!

Thats 27 million on this cruel journey

chorus:
We got to rise up
Open our eyes up
Be her voice
Be her freedom
Come on, stand up!

After the man left
Shes nothing left
No one, no love, no one to call a friend
Shes stuck in a pit of hell
Shes almost sick from the smell
Shes numb, shes dead from the inside out
Her heart is screaming but you dont hear the shout
Whos the voice? Whos going to break the door down?
Who wakes her up from the nightmare now?

(prechorus)

27 million who need Heavens mercy!

(chorus)

27 million are you joking?
How could we let evil get so tight a grip?
Watching while the world falls apart
How did we let this stuff begin?
Were not bothered if this offends
Cuz you got people that can defend
But they aint got that, they got nothing
Sometimes we gotta stand for something
Let this be the stand that gets your blood running

Little girl, dont cry
Let me dry your eyes
In the darkest night
(You are not alone)
Hold on through the storm
Youre not on your own
Hold on, love will come

(chorus)
