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 crimeThey 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 mindWhy, Lord, why tell me why
In these lonely days I'd need your answer
There's a reason whyHow 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 mindWhy, Lord, why Tell me why
In these lonely days I'd need your answer
There's a reason whyWhy, Lord, why tell me why
Your the only light forever lasting
Tell me, father, whyWhy, Lord, why tell me why
In these lonely days I'd need your answer
There's a reason whyWhy, Lord, why tell me why
Your the only light forever lasting
Tell me, father, whyFather, it's time
Father, it's time
