In the cities and the towns
The word is coming down
No more hurt, no more pain
There
has been a dragging of the chain
Now there is a price we have to pay
No way out, no way
down
Where is the town that we lived in brother
Where are the sounds of the church bell
sister
Now is the time to heal
You keep running from the wheel
But there's nothing
left to feel
Empty heart down and out
Now the writers can't explain
Why we're playing
up again
No way out, no way down
Where is the hope of a clean tomorrow
Hope only
offers when justice is coming
Now is the time to heal
Where is the ground, the beloved
country
Women and children who have fallen silent
Where are the words that can speak
forgiveness
Now is the time to heal
