|
In the cities and the towns The word is coming down No more doubt, no more pain There's been a dragging of the chain Now there's a price we gotta pay No way out, no way round Where is the town that we lived in, brother? Where is the sound of the church bells, sister? Now is the time to heal You keep running from the wheel But theres nothing left to feel Empty heart down and out Now the writers cant explain Why were playing up again No way out, no way down Where is the hope of a clean tomorrow? Hope only offers when justice is coming Now is the time to heal Where is the ground, the beloved country? Women and men who have fallen silent Where are the words that can speak forgiveness? Now is the time Now is the time Now is the time to heal |
