Verse 1:

Am
  I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
             D        C    Am
But keep on killing

It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
           D       C      Am
If God be willing

Chorus:


            C
There is a train that's heading straight
             Am  F            C
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
          Am    F          D
And woman wait, watch and wait
                Am  (intro riff)F  Am F Am C Am
For redemption day


Verse 2:(same as before)


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


Bridge:

Am
What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited till 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

Chorus(same as before)


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