lyrics

GOD LAY DYING

God lay dying on the street.
The blood it ran from his hands and feet.
Billionaires from far and wide,
Paid to sip champagne and watch him die.

Journalists and camera crews,
Took photographs, they spread the news.
War makers and heads of state,
Fought a battle over Heaven's gate.

But I, I believe in you,
Your light keeps on shinning through.
This peace we build is you,
And I have never felt forsaken by you,
I know you would walk a mile in my shoes,
For all I must do.

God lay dying on the street,
With fading strength he begged for peace,
But the world just walked on by,
You know we've all got such busy lives.
Trapped in busy lives we make no time.

But I, I believe in you,
Your light keeps on shinning through.
This peace we build is you,
And I have never felt forsaken by you,
I know you would walk a mile in my shoes,
For all I must do.

And tears will be dried.
Under a new sky.
For my brothers, for my sisters too.
