How many times
Must the ground open up
To drink the blood of innocent skin
How many times
Will Lamech get his way
And claim that I embraced his sin
And they can't hear you calling out
I can't breathe
But Abel's blood screams out to me
And they can't hear you calling out
I can't breathe
But baby I haven't missed a thing
How many times
Must tongues be lifted high
If the lesson learned is set aside
One God for all
In every language, every tribe
The Church is diversity as Bride
And they can't hear you calling out
I can't breathe
But Abel's blood screams out to me
And they can't hear you calling out
I can't breathe
But baby I haven't missed a thing
I knit you in the womb
As an image of myself
And I see you in the tomb
And your blood cries for itself
And I can hear you calling out
I can't breathe
And Abel's blood screams out to me
And they can't hear you calling out
I can't breathe
But baby I haven't missed a thing
