Lyrics
There's a cry from a young boy, in a city, running wild
There's a cry from a mother, who just lost another child
There's a cry from a people, who have nothing more to lose
Everything that they lived for, has been wasted and abused
There's a cry from a river, that has nowhere to flow
And the pride of this river was lost so long ago
And that cry is for a reason, that only heaven knows
Where did they go wrong? How can we go on?
Only hope remains the answer
There's a man on a mission, there's a desperate heart to rule
He has love for the people, yet he calls the people fools
He has guns for the people, on a promise yet to come
So they kill one another, for a hope that never comes
There's a cry from a river, that has nowhere to flow
And the pride of this river was lost so long ago
And that cry is for a reason, that only heaven knows
Where did they go wrong? How can we go on?
Only hope remains the answer
There are so many questions, when will all this trouble cease?
Like the wars all around us, will we ever live in peace?
I believe in the people, if they only have a chance
There's still hope for the future, but the future is in our hands
There's a cry from a river (river), that has nowhere else to flow
And the pride of this river (river), was lost so long ago
And that cry is for a reason, only, only heaven knows
Where did we go wrong? (Where did we go wrong?)
There's a cry from a river (river), that has nowhere else to flow
And the pride of this river (river), it was so lost so long ago
And that cry is for a reason, that I can't tell why
Where did we go wrong? How can we go on?
Only hope remains the answer
There's a cry from a young boy, in a city, running wild
There's a cry from a mother, who just lost the only child
