Redemption Day-Thomas Newman

[00:32.026]I've wept for those who suffer long [00:37.556]But how I weep for those who've gone [00:42.559]Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong [00:46.615]But keep on killing [00:52.888]It's in the soul to feel such things [00:58.097]But weak to watch without speaking [01:03.326]Oh what mercy sadness brings [01:07.210]If God be willing [01:17.362]There is a train that's heading straight [01:22.653]To heaven's gate to heaven's gate [01:27.951]And on the way child and man [01:32.855]And woman wait watch and wait [01:40.521]For redemption day [01:50.134]Fire rages in the streets [01:54.902]And swallows everything it meets [02:00.113]It's just an image often seen [02:04.136]On television [02:10.575]Come leaders come you men of great [02:15.517]Let us hear you pontificate [02:20.592]Your many virtues laid to waste [02:24.701]And we aren't listening [02:36.104]What do you have for us today [02:41.376]Throw us a bone but save the plate [02:46.368]On why we waited til so late [02:51.774]Was there no oil to excavate [02:54.419]No riches in trade for the fate [02:56.605]Of every person who died in hate [02:59.375]Throw us a bone you men of great [03:03.280]There is a train that's heading straight [03:08.295]To heaven's gate to heaven's gate [03:13.450]And on the way child and man [03:18.400]And woman wait watch and wait [03:25.843]For redemption day [03:42.729]It's buried in the countryside [03:48.209]It's exploding in the shells at night [03:53.340]It's everywhere a baby cries [03:59.215]Freedom
