I felt the stinging in my feet As the heat rose through the sand. Wiped my sweat drenched brow and shook my weary head. On my way to town, I passed a sign that read... Despair. I've heard of hell on Earth, But never thought I'd wind up there. I gazed out on a sea of souls native to the land. And wondered if they were... being punished for all the sins of man.
Lord, this world needs a savior ! Salvation's price is too high for them to pay. Lord, come back, come back now to stay. We'll never make it to Judgment Day.
As I journeyed on, through the town, I passed right by a house. A woman sat there staring, a babe held to her breast. I asked her if she cursed God for making life that way ... Despair. Though I pray and pray, I may not go to Heaven for what I'm 'bout to say. I thought that only good things came to those that pray. But when the Lord made this place... He let the devil have his day !
Leaving all they know, taking only what they need, Fathers and mothers, clutching sons and daughters Risk life for a dream, yeah ! Leavin' in a boat, setting sail for the Promised Land. Across, a sea, called Salvation, or whatever God has planned !! We're heading for Heaven !!!
Well I'm no theologian, I only know what I've been told. If I wait 'til I'm a wise man... I'll be far too old !! For all the evils of this world... God's not to blame !! It's all of mankind ! We must share this shame !!! I said, we must share the shame !!! Wise men tell me, "Where do I fit in ?" Help me to see! Help set me free !! Boy... just fold your hands... bend your knees... and pray.
Despair !
I've heard of hell on Earth, But never thought I'd wind up there. Before I close my eyes at night when I lay down for my rest, I look up to the heavens... and I ask for all God's best.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
