From the recordings THIS IS WHO I AM Volume Two and FREE
Lyrics
LAST DAY OF GRACE / THE ANSWER
For twenty centuries,
Fortunes have been lost.
For twenty centuries,
Borders have been crossed.
Hell hath no fury
Like the last coin tossed …
Bridges keep burning,
Fear keeps returning,
We’re still not learning
To keep ourselves free.
Leaders keep lying,
People keep dying,
As they keep trying
To set themselves free.
When will it all end?
What does God intend?
We can only pretend
That we know the answer.
Poets keep rhyming,
Death count keeps climbing,
It’s just bad timing
For humanity.
Ready and willing,
We keep on killing,
Bent on fulfilling
Ancient prophecy.
When will it all end?
What does God intend?
We can only pretend
That we know the answer.
No way of telling,
With all this yelling,
Who’s buying or selling –
Changing history.
Playing fast and loose,
Their necks in the noose,
Both sides want a truce –
Claiming victory.
When will it all end?
What does God intend?
We can only pretend
That we know the answer.
For twenty centuries,
Fortunes have been lost.
For twenty centuries,
Borders have been crossed.
When will it all end?
What does God intend?
We can only pretend
That we know the answer.
On that last day of grace,
When we come face to face
With the Master of this race,
We’ll all know the answer.
