Baby's gone sick and he won't stop crying Mama try to feed him slowly dying Smoke from the tires burning rising high Names in the river flowing past Tears in a bucket rising fast Faces washed away by a camera's eye, oh my
Give to me your sorrow, and I will give to you my freedom and if you are sick and weary, let me carry you on my back Look into tomorrow, it is filled with all our children So let us find the lost ones, and together we will carry them home
Coins on the eyes of them that's gone Rain wash away all the blood that's drawn Grass grow long on the stones in the greening fields One more drink and the pain is gone One more prayer then a fiery dawn One more mother left to wonder why, O why?
Give to me your sorrow, and I will give to you my freedom and if you are sick and weary, let me carry you on my back Look into tomorrow, it is filled with all our children So let us find the lost ones, and together we will carry them home
Lines in the sand from years gone by Old men can't remember why Tin roof shacks as far as the eye can see Hide tomorrow by the smoke that's rising Someone burning, no denying One more day like the only days we've ever known
I heard the stones cry out I heard the stones cry out in the night I heard the stones cry out
Give to me your sorrow, and I will give to you my freedom and if you are sick and weary, let me carry you on my back Look into tomorrow, it is filled with all our children So let us find the lost ones, and together we will carry them home Carry them home....carry them home....
