Lyrics:
We shout up at the sky Until our mouths are bloody and dry Screaming out at a god that seems to be blind To the suffering of us here below; those pushed aside Look around and witness the weight of this darkness I can assure you that ignorance is not bliss And simply because we've adorned our eyes with such arrogance Does not mean the unspeakable will cease Wicked men hoarding necessities While their fellow men die of sickness and disease Our children are still starving Doubled over in pain from the grumbling Dying loved ones whither and fade The person we knew stripped away (All we love will fade All we love is stripped away) Men killing their dearest in a fit of rage Instead of putting the past behind, turning a new page Mothers drown their baby's in their sleep As a reprieve cause they don't know the next time they'll eat We still defile and abuse the innocent Like items to be sold or owned Slavery and prostitution is no place for a nine year old So rage, cry out at the angry sky Let the emotion fall from your eyes I tell you the truth YHWH rages with you He hears your frantic pleas Believe me when I say, "He is not some distant thing!" If you're quiet for awhile, you might just hear Him breathe He's stood at the bedside of the lowly Shoulders heaving, His head in His hands Grieving with a Father's heart, come to retrieve another wayward lamb It's up to us to hold each others' dignity Recognize we've chosen the wrong enemy Hate, ignorance, and inhumanity are what we should be battling Now's the time for knowledge Now's the time for Truth Humanity has already suffered so much abuse We must take responsibility, and do away with apathy Unlearn society's teachings To be blind and selfish Because what you must learn Is that the problem is us
