Redemption Day

Johnny Cash

American VI: Ain't No Grave


I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
if God be willing

There is a train
That's heading straight to heaven's gate
To heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man and woman wait
Watch and wait, for redemption day

Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen on television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

What do you have for us today?
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited til so late
Was there no oil to excavate?
No riches in trade for the fate of
Every person who died in hate?
Throw us a bone, you men of great

There is a train
that's heading straight to heaven's gate
To heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man and woman wait
Watch and wait, for redemption day

It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom. Freedom. Freedom
Freedom. Freedom

Composição: Sheryl Crow
