For Every Child (Kyrie)

歌詞

For every child who lies Still beneath his mother’s eyes She’s asking why a God of love Would give then take away For every self-made man Doing everything he can To fill the void that’s deep within Eating at his soul Oh, have mercy.. Oh, have mercy on us all For every wife who cries When her husband’s lying eyes Give the sordid game away And something dies within For those who walk the streets Destitute and desperate We shake our heads and wash our hands And hurry on our way Oh, have mercy Have mercy on us all Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy Have mercy on us all Lord, have mercy Christ have mercy Lord, have mercy have mercy on us all O God, forgive us for the wrong that we have done Night is filled with weeping and we’re aching for the dawn O God of love this world has suffered for so long Have mercy on us all Forgive our driven need To make a virtue out of greed We’ve set our hearts on worldly things That cannot satisfy We’ve used tomorrow’s gold today While nature chokes along the way How many years before we pay? Perhaps we’re paying now?
