Johnny Cash - Redemption Day lyrics
rate me<span class="feat">(originally by Sheryl Crow)</span><br>
<br>
I've wept for those who suffer long<br />
But how I weep for those who've gone<br />
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong<br />
But keep on killing<br />
<br />
It's in the soul to feel such things<br />
But weak to watch without speaking<br />
Oh what mercy sadness brings<br />
If God be willing<br />
<br />
There is a train that's heading straight<br />
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate<br />
And on the way, child and man,<br />
And woman wait, watch and wait<br />
For redemption day<br />
<br />
Fire rages in the streets<br />
And swallows everything it meets<br />
It's just an image often seen<br />
On television<br />
Come leaders, come you men of great<br />
Let us hear you pontificate<br />
Your many virtues laid to waste<br />
And we aren't listening<br />
<br />
There is a train that's heading straight<br />
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate<br />
And on the way, child and man,<br />
And woman wait, watch and wait<br />
For redemption day<br />
<br />
What do you have for us today?<br />
Throw us a bone but save the plate<br />
On why we waited til so late<br />
Was there no oil to excavate<br />
No riches in trade for the fate<br />
Of every person who died in hate<br />
Throw us a bone, you men of great<br />
<br />
There is a train that's heading straight<br />
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate<br />
And on the way, child and man,<br />
And woman wait, watch and wait<br />
For redemption day<br />
<br />
It's buried in the countryside<br />
It's exploding in the shells at night<br />
It's everywhere a baby cries<br />
Freedom <br />
Freedom<br />
Freedom
<br><br><br><br>
<br>
