Father, it's time   Have a heart for your child who cries in pain   Not a new sign   But a strike that'll blow those fools away      Open your eyes   If you've got any you just look for too long a time   They spit on your name   Doin' everything darned as highest crime      They believe they could walk on the water   Playin' godsleep with the Devils daughter   Killed your son and might kill mine   But you don't mind      Why, Lord, why, tell me why?   In these lonely days   I'd need your answer   There's a reason, why      How could you fail?   Still it's time, turn the black into the light   Why do you wait?   Do you look down and laugh at what you find?      Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters   They believe they could walk on the waters   They killed your son and might kill mine   But you don't mind      Why, Lord, why, tell me why?   In these lonely days   I'd need your answer   There's a reason why      Why, Lord, why, tell me why?   Your the only light   Forever lasting   Tell me father, why      Why, Lord, why, tell me why?   In these lonely days   I'd need your answer   There's a reason why      Why, lord, why, tell me why?   Your the only light   Forever lasting   Tell me father, why      Father it's time   Father it's time   Father it's time
