Sheryl Crow - Redemption Day Lyrics
Ive wept for those who suffer longBut how I weep for those whove goneInto rooms of grief and questioned wrongBut keep on killingIts in the soul to feel such thingsBut weak to watch without speakingOh what mercy sadness bringsIf God be willingThere is a train thats heading straightTo heavens gate, to heavens gateAnd on the way, child and manAnd woman wait, watch and waitFor redemption dayFire rages in the streetsAnd swallow everything it meetsIts just an image often seenOn televisionCome leaders, come you men of greatLet us hear you pontificateYour many virtues laid to wasteAnd we arent listeningWhat do you have for us todayThrow us a bone but save the plateOh why we waited til so lateWas there no oil to excavateNo riches in trade for the fateOf every person who died in hateThrow us a bone, you men of greatThere is a train thats heading straightTo heavens gate, to heavens gateAnd on the way, child and manAnd woman wait, watch and waitFor redemption dayIts buried in the countrysideIts exploding in the shells of nightIts everywhere a baby criesFreedom
