lirik lagu johnny cash - redemption day
“redemption day”
(originally by sheryl crow)
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
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
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 sh-lls at night
it’s everywhere a baby cries
freedom
freedom
freedom
