O Father

(album: Demons Down - 1992)

Father, what have you done
Your children are blowing themselves the kingdom come, kingdom come
Father, of all time and space
Why do you raise us up just to fall from grace, fall from grace

Take a look around you, heaven can't be found, and
You can't hear the sound of a heartbeat
In the heart of the city
If you've got a plan, if someone's in command
The c'mon raise you hand and
Show us some love and pity
I pray...

[Chorus:]
O Father, our father
Where is your guiding light
O Father, our father
God help us through the night

I am just a man
Walking these mean streets trying to find my way
I'm doing what I can, trying to made a stand
Trying the understand
Fighting just to find my faith
I pray

[Repeat Chorus]

We raise our hands to heaven
We raise our voice in prayer
We fight for something to believe in
Let there be someone there

Take a look around, heaven can't be found
O father raise your hand

O Father, Our Father
I need you now

[Chorus (adlib & fade)]
