Going Public cover
05. Going Public
Album: Going Public
Artist: Newsboys
         
 

She's been dazed and induced.
Wants a part-time God
For her private use.
But she won't take a stand,
'Cause she might get tagged
As a closet Jesus fan.

Sign on.
The time is drawing near.
This is surely a banner year
To be a public witness.
Sign on.
The lines are drawn and clear.
There's no straddling fences here.
We're going public with this.

He's displaced and unglued.
Scared that faith in God
Could be misconstrued.
But the cross makes him wish
That his spine was more
Than a school of jellyfish.

Sign on.
The time is drawing near.
This is surely a banner year
To be a public witness.
Sign on.
The lines are drawn and clear.
There's no straddling fences here.
We're going public with this.

By Steve Taylor
