Lyrics:
When we look and we can see things are not what they should be God's counting on me, God's counting on you When we look and see things that should not be God's counting on me, God's counting on you Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through, Hopin' we'll all pull through Me and you.
It's time to turn things around, trickle up not trickle down God's counting on me, God's counting on you It's time to turn things around, trickle up not trickle down God's counting on me, God's counting on you Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through, Hopin' we'll all pull through Me and you.
And when drill, baby, drill turns to spill, baby, spill God's counting on me, God's counting on you Yes when drill, baby, drill turns to spill, baby, spill God's counting on me, God's counting on you Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through, Hopin' we'll all pull through Me and you.
Don't give up don't give in, workin' together we all can win God's counting on me, God's counting on you Don't give up don't give in, workin' together we all can win God's counting on me, God's counting on you Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through, Hopin' we'll all pull through Me and you.
There's big problems to be solved, let's get everyone involved God's counting on me, God's counting on you There's big problems to be solved, let's get everyone involved God's counting on me, God's counting on you Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through, Hopin' we'll all pull through Me and you.
When we sing with younger folks, we can never give up hope God's counting on me, God's counting on you When we sing with younger folks, we can never give up hope God's counting on me, God's counting on you Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through, Hopin' we'll all pull through Me and you.
