Lyrics
JUSTICE copyright Marni Sheehan October 2004
O justice can you hear me I feel like you've let me down
O justice are you nowhere to be found
O justice are you listening have you taken a holiday
When this old world is so in need of you today
Where are you when we need you (2)
O justice earth to justice I know you are out there somewhere
Looks like we've lost you and sometimes it feels like no-one cares
Where are you when we need you (2)
People sleepin in their cars people fallin down in bars
People who can't pay their rent folks whose hope is almost spent
People living in fear and war and the wolf is at the door
And our time is runnin down won't you please come back for one more round
I'm walkin I'm walkin I'm walkin on down the road
And I'll keep walkin til I see you and I know
And I'm talkin about justice I'm talkin to everyone I can
And I'll keep talkin til I see you again
Til I see you again
Til I see you again
Where are you when we need you?
