***CAPO 1***
INTRO: Am
AmI've wept for those who suffer long
AmBut how I weep for those who've gone
AmIn rooms of grief and questioned wrong
AmBut keep on Dkilling Am
AmIt's in the soul to feel such things
AmBut weak to watch without speaking
AmOh, what mercy sadness brings
AmIf God be Dwilling Am
CHORUS:
AmThere is a Ctrain that's heading straight
CTo Heaven's Amgate,F to Heaven's Cgate
CAnd on the way child and man
CAnd woman AmwaitF, watch and Dwait
DFor redemption Amday
(Verses same as before)
Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come ye men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
(Repeat Chorus)
BRIDGE:
DWhat do you Chave for us todayF
DThrow us a Cbone but save the Amplate
DOn why we Cwaited till so latFe
FWas there no oil to excavDate
DNo riches in trade for the Ffate
FOf every person who died in Dhate
DThrow us a bone, you men of Amgreat
(Repeat Chorus)
DIt's buried Cin the countryFside
DExploding Cin the shells at Amnight
DIt's everyCwhere a baby Fcries
FFreedom...D...FFreedom...D...AmFreedom
