"Grace (Piano & Vocal Version)" lyrics

Fire burning in the distance
Sky is black above my head
Reflecting on the water where Martin's
'I Have A Dream' was read

Flashback to the 1950's
I smell the smoke feel the dread
So deep in my soul
And heavy as lead

Ashamed of what we've all become
A nation glorifying scum
Invoking executive power
I grieve to see the infamy
Loss of faith
Humanity is disappearing by the hour

Renew my faith please sisters and brothers
Renew my faith
While there's still time for forgiveness
Please, before the white doves flies away

Have you thought about the future generations
With less freedom than we have today
When they discover the deceit
The price we're gonna pay (have you thought about it)

And time can't save you from the madness
Time can't save you from the rage
It's all or none of us at all
Time, please stop, stop today

What happened to the land of peace
Where everybody's born free
And the least of us can prosper
Our hearts are torn
Our minds played
But we not afraid
Cause we the people have the power

Renew my faith
Please teachers, and preachers, and prophets and leaders
From every creed from every land
And pray , pray for time and redemption (and redemption yeah)
Before the white dove flies away
Pray for time, pray for peace, you better pray for love
And pray for us
