I heard an angel in my ear today
You can come with me you'll be saved
But what you saving me from I haven't faced
Well
I'd be saving you from your grace
So
If life is a lie
And good things happen in good time
Why do I cry
And if lies are lies
And God makes things right
Ain't it time
If justice is only dressed for whites
And I fight and fight
I don't want my justice to come with the Light
I heard a man on the news 2008
Freedom is yours you've won, the race
I still don't know how victory tastes
Is it the sweat of the sun
Or the blood from the chains
If a life is a lie
And all things happen in good times
Why do I cry
If lies are lies
And God will make things right
Then ain't it time
If justice is only served to whites
I fight and I try
I don't want to be saved by the Light
