Ignorance Is the Enemy Lyrics

Oh Mother, oh Father
In our time of fear
Grant us the wisdom
Your message for to hearSend down Your angel band
To fill Your hearts with power
Oh Mother, oh Father
In our darkest hourIgnorance is the enemy
And it fills your head with lies
Its the kind of bliss that can make you miss
The very truth before your eyesIts not whos right or wrong
Weak or strong, black or white you see
Ignorance is the enemy
And its keeping you from meForgive me all my pettiness
Forgive me all my greed
Forgive me for I know not how
To live this life I leadIgnorance is the enemy
Let's set the record straight
If history must repeat itself

Why worry while you waitIts a perfect blue and beautiful world
You treat with such disdain
Ignorance is the enemy
And It can only bring you painForgive me all my vanity
Forgive me my conceit
Forgive me when Im crawling
Like a beggar at Your feetIgnorance is the enemy
And it wields a mighty sword
It can cut you down in a blaze of glory
It can nail you to a boardIf mercy and compassion only had a chance
It could fill these holes weve dug
But ignorance is the enemy
And its working like a drugOh Mother, oh Father
In our time of fear
Grant us the wisdom
Your message for to hearSend down Your angel band
To fill our hearts with power
Oh Mother, oh Father
In our darkest hour
