Father, it's time

Have a heart for your child who cries in pain

Not a new sign

But I strike that'll blow those fools away

Open your eyes

If you've got any you just look for too long a time

They spit on your name

Doin' everything you darnned as highest crime



They believe they could walk on the water

Playing 'god, sleep with the devils' daughter

Killed your son and might kill mine

But you don't mind



Why, Lord, why

Tell me why

In these lonely days

I'd need your answer

There's a reason why



How could you fail?

Still it's time, turn the black into the light

Why do you wait?

Do you look down and laugh at what you find?



Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters

They believe they could walk on the waters

They killed your son and might kill mine

But you don't mind



Why, Lord, why

Tell me why

In these lonely days

I'd need your answer

There's a reason why



Why, Lord, why

Tell me why

Your the only light

Forever lasting

Tell me, father, why



[SOLO]



Why, Lord, why

Tell me why

In these lonely days

I'd need your answer

There's a reason why



Why, Lord, why

Tell me why

Your the only light

Forever lasting

Tell me, father, why



Father, it's time

Father, it's time...
