Ignorance Is The Enemy Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

Oh Mother, oh Father 

In our time of fear 

Grant us the wisdom 

Your message for to hear 

Send down Your angel band 

To fill Your hearts with power 

Oh Mother, oh Father 

In our darkest hour 

Ignorance is the enemy 

And it fills your head with lies 

It? s the kind of bliss that can make you miss 

The very truth before your eyes 

It? s not who? s right or wrong 

Weak or strong, black or white you see 

Ignorance is the enemy 

And it? s keeping you from me

Forgive me all my pettiness 

Forgive me all my greed 

Forgive me for I know not how 

To live this life I lead 

Ignorance is the enemy 

Let's set the record straight 

If history must repeat itself 

Why worry while you wait 

It? s a perfect blue and beautiful world 

You treat with such disdain 

Ignorance is the enemy 

And It can only bring you pain 

Forgive me all my vanity 

Forgive me my conceit 

Forgive me when I? m crawling 

Like a beggar at Your feet

Ignorance 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 board 

If mercy and compassion only had a chance 

It could fill these holes we? ve dug 

But ignorance is the enemy 

And it? s working like a drug 

Oh Mother, oh Father 

In our time of fear 

Grant us the wisdom 

Your message for to hear 

Send down Your angel band 

To fill our hearts with power 

Oh Mother, oh Father 

In our darkest hour
