Father, it's time
Have a heart for your child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But a 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 damned as highest crime
They believe they could walk on the water
Playin' godsleep 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
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
Father it's time
