Redemption Day Lyrics - Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow

I've wept for those who suffer long 

But how I weep for those who've gone 

Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong 

But keep on killing 

It's in the soul to feel such things 

But weak to watch without speaking 

Oh what mercy sadness brings 

If God be willing 

There is a train that's heading straight 

To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate 

And on the way, child and man 

And woman wait, watch and wait 

For redemption day

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Fire rages in the streets 

And swallows everything it meets 

It's just an image often seen 

On television 

Come leaders, come ye men of great 

Let us hear you pontificate 

Your many virtues laid to waste 

And we aren't listening 

There is a train that's heading straight 

To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate 

And on the way, child and man 

And woman wait, watch and wait 

For redemption day 

What do you have for us today 

Throw us a bone but save the plate 

On why we waited 'til 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 

There is a train that's heading straight 

To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate 

And on the way, child and man 

And woman wait, watch and wait 

For redemption day 

It's buried in the countryside 

It's shading in the shells at night 

It's everywhere a baby cries 

Freedom 

Freedom 

Freedom 

Freedom 

Freedom
