_ I've worked for those who suffer _ long But how I weep for those who've _ gone
In the rooms of grief and question wrong [Eb] That keep [Db] on killing
[G] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ It's in the soul to feel such things But weak to watch without speaking _
Oh, what mercy sadness brings [Eb] If God be [Bbm] willing _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ [F] _ [Gb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[C] There's [Db] a chain that's set it straight _
[Bbm] Heaven's [Gb] gate, [Db] heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man [Ab] And woman [Bbm] [Gb] away
Watch and [Eb] wait _ _ _ _ for [Bb] redemption [Bbm] _ day [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ Fire rages in the streets
_ And swallows everything it needs _ 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 for [Gb] us today?
[Bbm] _ _
No, I said, bow, [Gb] but say the [Bbm] play _
Oh, why we waited [Gb] till so [Bbm] late Was there no oil to excavate?
No riches in trade [Eb] for the fate Of every [Bbm] person who died in hate
Though I said, bow, you men of great
There's [Db] a chain that's set it straight _ [Bbm] Heaven's [Gb] gate, _
[Db] heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man And [Bbm] woman away
[Gb] Watch [Eb] and wait for _ _ redemption [Bbm] day _ [Gb] It's _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ buried in the countryside _
Exploding _ in the shells of night _ It's everywhere a baby cries _
[Eb] Freedom, _ [Db] _ [Gb] _ _ freedom, [Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ freedom, _ _ freedom, _ freedom _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
