In the cities and the towns The word is coming down No more doubt, no more pain There's been a dragging of the chain Now there's a price we gotta pay No way out, no way round
Where is the town that we lived in, brother? Where is the sound of the church bells, sister? Now is the time to heal
You keep running from the wheel But there's nothing left to feel Empty heart down and out Now the writer's can't explain Why we're playing up again No way out, no way down
Where is the hope of a clean tomorrow? Hope only offers when justice is coming Now is the time to heal
Where is the ground, the beloved country? Women and men who have fallen silent Where are the words that can speak forgiveness? Now is the time Now is the time Now is the time to heal
