[Verse 1]
  EmI'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 kAillingG  Em  
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be wAillingG  Em  
[Chorus]
There is a tGrain that's heading straight
To heaven's gEmate, Cto heaven's Ggate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman Emwait, Cwatch and wAait

For redemption day
[Verse 2] (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 you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
[Bridge]
EmWhat do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited till 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
[Chorus] (same as before)
It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom...

[Verse 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

A G Em

But keep on killing

It's in the soul to feel such things

But weak to watch without speaking

Oh what mercy sadness brings

A G Em

If God be willing

[Chorus]

There is a train that's heading straight

Em C G

To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

And on the way, child and man,

Em C A

And woman wait, watch and wait

Em C Em C Em G Em

(intro riff)

And swallows everything it meets

And we aren't listening

Throw us a bone but save the plate

Was there no oil to excavate

No riches in trade for the fate

Of every person who died in hate

It's exploding in the shells at night
