Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Oh-
It?s getting harder to bear
Seems like this whole world is falling apart-
with all the weeping and the broken hearts.
No-
People just don?t care
Pass the man lying out on the street-
cold and hungry he?s got nothing to eat
So-
Many miles away
Just another day in the suburbs where the grass is green-
they?ve got it all but they still wanna scream

CHORUS 1:
And the fog keeps on rolling
And the river?s getting swollen-
filled by a cleansing rain.
And the wind keeps on singing
But the truth just aint brining-
an end to the pain.

VERSE 2:
Oh-
What a wonder to see
A ray of light in this dreary place-
like the smile on a baby?s face.
No-
Why can?t we just let it be?
Why must we teach him all about riches and race-
he?ll be okay if he just learns his place.
Hey-
Ain?t this the land of the free?
Money buys position and grace-
make it big or you won?t leave a trace

CHORUS 2:
And the tide keeps on turning
Holy fires keep on burning-
but you?ve gotta learn to discerne
Fickle flags keep on flying
Crying eyes keep on crying-
looking for the Lord?s return.

BRIDGE:
If we?ve evolved from swirling gene pool
It makes no difference if we play by the rules
They teach us Darwin but we can?t pray in school
If you believe then they call you a fool

(Repeat CHORUS 1)

And in the end will we be standing
in the light- our fears abandoned
Will we get what we deserve?
Will we spend eternity singing
or is it just our doom he?s bringing?
It all depends on who you serve.
