Father answer me
About what I saw on the TV
Did all those people know you?
Did their phone calls home get through?
Did you comfort their sons and their daughters?
Their mothers and their fathers?
Their husbands and their wives?
My brother is starting to crack
Father bring him back
Grandma can't even walk
Death is beginning to knock
Can you protect my friends and brothers?
My mother and my father?
The love of my life?
When you come down
Will you be proud
Of all you have made?
And you bear a hell of a lot of blame
With all the things done in Your name
It sure would be a lot easier now
If you would just make your way down
Can you stop the wars and the slaughter?
Can't you stop the pain if your sovereign?
Could you please stop throwing the knife?
When you come down
Will you be proud
Of all you have made?
