[Verse 1:]
|
Oh Father,
|
I wish I had understanding.
|
Never known more
|
Never been so well informed
|
We know the score
|
Heard it all before,
|
But I've never felt more powerless
|
|
There's so much blood on the streets
|
So much hope refused
|
So much grainy teenage photographs on the evening news
|
|
Oo, when everywhere's violence
|
Silently I go
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Love's on its way
|
I hope it won't be too late
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
When the day comes
|
And I've counted all my sins
|
How mant I'll see
|
I want to be able to say that I did more, more than pray
|
I did more
|
Than just spend my money
|
Just writing letters
|
Than just going out marching
|
I did more than talking and saying the right thing
|
Wearing the right thing
|
It's time for an uprising
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Love's on its way
|
Hope it won't be too late
|
|
Love's on its way
|
Love's on its way
|
Love's on its way
|
|
Hope it won't be too late
|
