[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've wept for those who suffer long But how I weep for those who've gone
In the realms of grief and question _ wrong That keep on killing
_ _ It's _ _ _ in the soul to feel such things _ But weak to watch without speaking _
_ _ Oh, what mercy sadness brings If [Eb] God be willing
[Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Db] There's a train that's headed straight To [Bbm] heaven's [Gb] gate, [Db] to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man And [Bbm] woman [Gb] away, [Db] watch [Eb] and wait
_ _ _ For [Bbm] redemption _ day [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ Fire rages in the streets
_ And swallows everything it [Bb]
meets [Bbm] _ It's just an image often seen
[Eb] On television _ [Bbm] _ Come, _ _ leaders, come, you men of great
_ _ Let us hear you _ pontificate _ _ Your many virtues laid to waste
[Eb] And we aren't listening _ [Bbm] What _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ do you have [Gb] for us [Bbm] today?
_ _ Through a sick bone, [Gb] but save the plate Oh, why were you waiting till so late?
_ _ Was there no oil to excavate?
No riches in trade for the [Eb] fate
Of every person [Bbm] who died in hate Through a sick bone, you men of great
[Db] There's a train that's headed straight To [Bbm] heaven's [Gb] gate, to [Db] heaven's gate
And on the way, child and [Ab] man And [Bbm] woman away, [Gb] _
[Eb] watch and wait _ _ _ _
For [Bbm] redemption day [Gb] It's _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ buried in the countryside _
_ _ Exploding in the shells of night It's everywhere a baby cries
_ [Eb] _ _ Freedom, [Gb] _ _ _
[Eb] freedom, _ _ [Bbm] _ freedom, _ _ freedom, freedom _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
