In the name of progress Big old building's goin' up And in the name of progress Another Mom And Pop shop bites the dust That old home town flavor Has all but disappeared And I worry when I wonder What is gonna be like in twenty years I may not have the answer When it's all said and done Sometimes I have the question Where they're comin' from I know where I am going When they may need a rest Oh, I ain't afraid of dying Lord, it's the living that scares me to death Sirens scream in the city Gunshots ring in the night Another mother watches while Her young son claims to life Some father says in the name of God He took his baby's life Well I don't think so, the God I know Will believe that's right I may not have the answer When it's all said and done Sometimes I have the question Where they're comin' from I know where I am going When they may need a rest Oh, I ain't afraid of dying Lord, it's the living that scares me to death Lord, I may not have the answer When it's all said and done Sometimes I have the question Where they're comin' from I know where I am going When they may need a rest Oh, I ain't afraid of dying Lord, it's the living that scares me to death Yea, I know where I am going When they may need a rest Oh, I ain't afraid of dying Lord, it's the living that scares me to death Scares me to death
