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
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
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 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
For redemption day
It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom
