Stole beneath his mother's eyes
She's asking why a God of love
For every self -made man,
For every wife who cries,
when her husband's lying eyes
Give the sordid game away,
and something dies within
For those who walk the streets,
Lord have mercy, have mercy
Lord have mercy, God have mercy
The night is filled with weeping
and we're aching for the dawn
this world has suffered for so long
We want to see the light,
When justice rules the heart,
To make a virtue out of greed
Set our hearts on worldly things
Use tomorrow's goal today
While nature jokes along the way
How many years before we pay
Perhaps we're pay ing now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
