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 darned as highest crime.

They 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 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...
