Ami
1. I've wept for those who suffer long
   But how I weep for those who've gone
   Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
                     Dsus4
   But keep on killing
   
2. It's in the soul to feel such things
   But weak to watch without speaking
   Oh what mercy sadness brings
   If God be willing

   C/H               Ami  Ami/H    C
   To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
   C/H            C
   And on the way, child and man
   C/H              Ami  Ami/H  D
   And woman wait, watch and wait
                     Ami
   For redemption day

3. The fire rages in the streets
   And swallows everything it meets
   It's just an image often seen
   On television
   
4. Come leaders, come you men of great
   Let us hear you pontificate
   Your many virtues laid to waste  
   And we aren't listening

    Oh why we waited til so late
    Ami                       Dsus4

    No riches in trade for the fate
    Of every person who died in ate

    Throw us a bone, you men of great
