Well, theres a pain in my side that I keep traveling on

Bring peace to this troubled land

Its dark out here, I cant read those signs

Bring peace to the troubled land Hurricane on the horizon

Judgment getting closer all the time

I cant find tomorrow

Bring peace to this troubled land Well, theres two men a walking down the same dirty road

Bring peace to this troubled land

They stand shoulder to shoulder carrying the same heavy load

Bring peace to this troubled land One mans eyes are full of sorrow

The other mans belly full of unbearable pain

They keep getting closer

Bring peace to this troubled land I got many screaming children, ten million rows to hoe

Bring peace to this troubled land

Deader than a hammer but I cant let go

Bring peace to this troubled land The eyes of heaven are upon you

So is the soul from down below

Theyll cut off your fingers

To bring peace to this troubled land Well, you can stand up and holler, you can lay down and die

Bring peace to this troubled land

We can turn up our collars and never even try

To bring peace to this troubled land Beware of those who want to harm you

And drag you down to a lower game

Just know the truth is coming

To bring peace to this troubled land I got a pain in my side but I keep traveling on
