Amen

It's another night in hell, another child won't live to tell

Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death?

And as we sit free and well, another soldier has to yell

"Tell my wife and children I love them", in his last breath

Come on now, amen

Amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas

I'll tell you sometimes, people, I don't know what's worse

Natural disasters, or these wolves in sheep clothes' pastors

Now, goddamn it, I'm scared to send my children to church

And how can we seek salvation when our nation's race relations

Got me feeling guilty of being white?

But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior

I'm no saint, but I believe in what is right

Come on now, amen

Amen, I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame, pull your future away form the flame

Open up your mind and start to live

Stop short changing your neighbors, living off hand outs and favors

And maybe, give a little bit more than you got to give, got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify

And if I get high, stop being so uptight

It's only human nature and I am not a stranger

So baby, won't you stay with me tonight?

And when it calls away, they break a sign

I'm better now, and I don't need someone, oh, to be someone

Here, just sitting down and holding back, I hold the door and won't

And they don't say child, I wanna say, yeah

It's a matter of salvation from the patience up above

So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love (One you love)

Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew just dying to be with you

You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously loves you

So just hold on 'cause you know it's true

And if you can take the pain, then you can withstand anything

And one day, stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, amen

I said amen, amen

I said amen, amen

I said amen, amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen
