Redemption Day

Ami

1. I've wept for those who suffer long

But how I weep for those who've gone

Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong

Dsus4

But keep on killing

2. It's in the soul to feel such things

But weak to watch without speaking

Oh what mercy sadness brings

If God be willing

R: There is a train that's heading straight

To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

And on the way, child and man

And woman wait, watch and wait

Ami

For redemption day

3. The fire rages in the streets

And swallows everything it meets

It's just an image often seen

On television

4. Come leaders, come you men of great

Let us hear you pontificate

Your many virtues laid to waste

And we aren't listening

*1: What do you have for us today

Throw us a bone but saw the plate

Oh why we waited til so late

Ami Dsus4

Was there no oil to excavate

No riches in trade for the fate

Of every person who died in ate

Throw us a bone, you men of great

R: There is a train that's heading straight

To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

And on the way,child and man

And woman wait, watch and wait

Ami

For redemption day

*2: It's buried in the countryside

Exploding in the shells of night

Ami

It's everywhere a baby cries

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
