I close my eyes and I pray for time
A storm is getting closer
It’s whipping through my thoughts and mind
I close my eyes and I pray for time

Flowers stand by the riverside
In many different colors
Blood is rushing through their spines
Blood - Blood of brothers

Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned
Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned – Won’t you let me in?

The heart struggles to survive
The heat is getting stronger
Mountains crumble before my eyes
Red, red is the color of the waters

One should know when it is time
When they’ve reached the end of the line
One should know when to linger
But I won’t linger, I can’t falter, I won’t linger!

Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned, won’t you let me in?
Dear Lord, I’ve sinned and I cannot bear the stench
Dear Lord, show me how to wash away, You, me, everything

We all saw them on our screens
He said the sky was pried open, then came the rain
He went crying to his knees for you and me
As his family caught the bombs on our screens

Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned, won’t you let me in?
Dear Lord, I’ve sinned and I cannot bear the stench
Dear Lord, show me how to wash away, You, me, everything!
