Verse 1:

  

E5                      Db5                  

Lying, awake at night l wipe the sweat from my brow

                 D5                      B5

But it?s not the fear, cos l?d rather go now.

E5                        Db5.  

Trying, to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead

                D5               B5

The desert sand mound, a burial ground.

Verse 2:

E5                     Db5

God, let us go now and finish what?s to be done

Thy kingdom come, thy shall be done, on earth

E5                     Db5        

Trying, to justify to ourselves the reasons to go

Should we live and let live? Forget or forgive?

But how can we let them go on this way?

No trust, no reasoning no more to say.
