This song is an expression of the bad morals of our world that has resulted in many of the problems we see in society, and which are in contradiction to Godly righteousness. The 4:24 part of the message refers to this righteousness and to guidance I got related to scripture around Mark 4:24 and John 4:24, which speak about what true worship for the Lord is. See 4:24 - Be Careful What You Listen To... for details on that.

C#5                            Esus4on7                        C#5
Another child gone missing; Another man alone in tears; Another woman forced to fight
Esus4                      Amaj9                            Esus4
Law regards no justice; Leaders only see to their own; Lies find more lease in our homes
C#5                                   Esus4on7                              C#5
Another child bruised with spite; Another man dies raising a light; Another woman drugged in the night
Esus4                      Amaj9                    Esus4
Families are broken tears; Authorities breed abuse; False peace puts on a noose

[chorus:]

A           Amaj9
No wonder, hate picks up a gun
A           Amaj9
No wonder, nations run by fear
A           Amaj9

No wonder, babies never see a day

C#5                            Esus4on7                         C#5
Another child wants to die; Another man keeps his spite; Another woman trusts in a gun
Esus4                       Amaj9                        Esus4
Passion teaches to kill; Freedom slays our virtue; Fixation feeds the hedonist
C#5                            Esus4on7                          C#5
Another child is an addict; Another man steals for a fix; Another woman sold until dawn
Esus4                         Amaj9                          Esus4
Honesty has found no name; Homage gives to the vulgar; Honor lives only for hubris

[chorus]

Esus4on7
What have we become?
C#5
Do you know where we're from?
Esus4on7
Or is virtue disowned?
Aadd9
And God has gone away?

A Amaj9 A Amaj9 A Amaj9

Love flees, from depravity; Trust can't, survive on lies; Peace hides, from no accountability

[chorus]

C#5 Esus4on7 C#5 Esus4on7 C#5 Esus4on7
Let honesty, save the child; Let homage, empathize; Let honor, find your name
A Amaj9 A Amaj9 A Amaj9
So love, returns to stay; So trust, survives; So peace, does not hide

-- Riff Chords: C#5, Esus4on7, Amaj9, A

Love flees, from depravity; Trust can't, survive on lies; Peace hides, from no accountability
