REDEMPTION DAY

• I've wept for those who suffer long
• But how I weep for those who've gone
  • into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
  • but keep on killing
• It's in the soul to feel such things
  • but weak to watch without speaking
• Oh what mercy sadness brings
  • if God be willing

1. There is a train that's heading straight
2. To heaven's gate
3. And on the way, 
   1. child 
   2. and man
   3. and woman 
4. Wait, watch and wait
   1. for Redemption Day

• Fire rages in the streets
  • and swallows everything it meets
• It's just an image often seen
  • on television
• Come leaders, come you Men of Great
  • let us hear you pontificate 
• Your many virtues laid to waste 
  • and we aren't listening

     

• What do you have for us today?
  • Throw us a bone but save the plate
  • On why we waited 'til so late
    • was there no oil to excavate?
    • no riches in trade for the fate
    • of every person who died in hate?
  • Throw us a bone, you Men of Great

1. There is a train that's heading straight
2. To heaven's gate
3. And on the way,
   1. child
   2. and man
   3. and woman
4. Wait, watch and wait
   1. for Redemption Day

• It's buried in the countryside
• Exploding in the shells of night
• It's everywhere a baby cries
• Freedom
