Well there's a pain in my side
|
But I keep traveling on
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
It's dark out here
|
I can't read those signs
|
Bring peace to the troubled land
|
Hurricane on the horizon
|
Judgment getting closer all the time
|
I can't find tomorrow
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
|
Well there's two men a walking
|
Down the same dirty road
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
They stand shoulder to shoulder
|
Carrying the same heavy load
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
One man's eyes are full of sorrow
|
The other man's belly full of unbearable pain
|
They keep getting closer
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
|
I've got many screaming children
|
Ten million rows to hoe
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
Deader than an hammer
|
But I can't let go
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
The eyes of heaven are upon you
|
But so is the soul from down below
|
They'll cut off your fingers
|
To bring peace to this troubled land
|
|
Well you can stand up and holler
|
You can lay down and die
|
Bring peace to this troubled land
|
We can turn up our collars
|
And never even try
|
To bring peace to this troubled land
|
Beware of those who want to harm you
|
And drag you down to a lower game
|
Just know the truth is coming
|
To bring peace to this troubled land
|
|
I got a pain in my side
|
But I keep traveling on
|
