How could you put us down? Forbid to walk in Heaven
Repent, repent, you'll never be forgiven
How could you give us love and let us fight at war?
Like throwing away the keys and locking the door
Listen to our prayers, we're lost without our home
Lord please forgive us, we're lost and all we know
The world is falling down
Only darkness in the heart of this town
I don't see no one alive
Desolation and despair, how can we survive?
How could you let the children cry in the dark?
And let them live a life without a spark?
How could you let us try and play with life like death?
Don't you see we're drowning and taking our last breath?
Listen to our prayers, we're lost without a home
Lord please forgive us, we're lost and all we know
The world is falling down
Only darkness in the heart of this town
I don't see no one alive
Desolation and despair, how can we survive?
We sailed across the seas, struggled to be free
But where's the light that God's made?
We fight against God's will, trembling like the leaves
How can we survive?
Giving life, but letting us die
The world is falling down
Only darkness in the heart of this town
I don't see no one alive
Desolation and despair, how can we survive?
