You walked a mile to tell the stories of your people But You strayed another from the truth And now You're breaking all the promises and trusts They had in You They toiled for hours until they broke their backs and sickles Waiting for the fickle-minded rain And now they're counting on the only hope they think still remains ♪ Did all Your fame and fortune drive integrity away? Were You just building castles in the sky? Would all Your saints go marching For our brothers in the frey or watch them die? Now You can do what You want to do Your powers are absolute You're gonna reign forever And we can say what we want to say Pray for a better day You're gonna reign forever ♪ Now You, can do what You want to do Your powers are absolute You're gonna reign forever And we can say what we want to say Pray for a better day You're gonna reign forever
