Journey through the sands of time
To a place where freedom lies
Should I flee or should I fight
I cannot ignore my right
A tired soul looks to the clouds
Prays to find a way out
Painful teardrops fall and hit the ground
Nations hiding, children dying
Broken families, freedom fighting
Masses murdered, mothers crying
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why
I cry out, I cry out, I cry out
Show me a sign
Can't you feel my misery?
A saddening reality
Why are leaders fast asleep?
Open up your eyes and see
Tired souls look to the clouds
Praying to find a way out
Painful teardrops fall and hit the ground
Nations hiding, children dying
Broken families, freedom fighting
Masses murdered, mothers crying
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why
I cry out, I cry out, I cry out
Show me a sign
Where is the hope that we're fighting for
Where is the peace that we're longing for
Where is the justice, where is the trust
Where is the cure, where is the love
Where is the love
Nations hiding, children dying
Broken families, freedom fighting
Masses murdered, mothers crying
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why
I cry out, I cry out, I cry out
Show me a sign
