[English]

It's another night in hell

Another child won't live to tell

Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well

Another soldier has to yell

Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas

I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse

Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors

Now damn it I'm scared to send my children to church

And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations

Got me feeling guilty of being white

But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint

But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen

I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,

Pull your future away from the flame

Open up your mind and start to live

Stop short changing your neighbors

Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe

Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify

And if I get high stop being so uptight

It's only human nature and I am not a stranger

So baby won't you stay with me tonight

When a calls away

to break the sound

I'm faden down, I need someone

Oh to be someone

They just sinken down, and holden back

I hold the dawn and run

They don't save a child

Oh, to save a child

It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above,

So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love, one you love

Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew

Just dying to be with you

You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you

So just hold on 'cause you know it's true

And if you can take the pain

And you can withstand anything, and one day

Stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, I said amen

I said amen, I said amen,

Amen
