lyrics
Well this little boy holed up in his room,
He's picking guitar, he's singing a tune...
He's licking his lips,
And he's licking his wounds for you...
He took to the fields to harvest this land,
With sweat on his brow and dirt on his hands...
He's planting his seeds,
And he's pulling his weeds for you...
He's up before the sunrise and out with the moon,
He kneels before his bed,
He drinks his wine, he eats his bread...
Maybe luck will come soon...
Maybe love will consume...
Well those little seeds, they started to bloom,
He cut down some trees to start building a home...
He's works alone,
He works his hands to the bone for you...
He's up before the sunrise and out with the moon,
He kneels before his bed,
He drinks his wine, he eats his bread...
Maybe luck will come soon...
Lord, won't you please help me soon?
Well this little boy started questioning his worth,
He built you a road, he built you a church...
With his hands raised,
All glory and praise to you...
He dropped to his knees and sang,
"God won't you come down?
Won't you come down from those clouds?
I think that I'm ready,
Yeah, my hands are steady...
I did what I could,
I tried to bring my brother back to church...
I'll keep this wound wide open no matter how much it hurts...
I did what I could with my family,
Our hearts are open and we're barely coping and…
If you had some time to come down today,
With hearts wide open I was really hoping that...
Oh my God, won't you lift up this city?
We need you...
