lyrics

Hymn

if there's a virtue in this life
it's in the soil, sea and in the sky
though the man who tells you so is a lie
now they have come to disregard
this place that's yours, this place that's ours
'cause their father calls them home when they die

I have always come to you
in times of trouble, when times are cruel
and you've always shown me an open road
to carry on

now Jesus Christ will come again
to save us from these Christian men
with their lightning and their curses and their lies
and so my mother don't you cry
your house is burning, so let them die
with your lightning and your your curses and your tides

I have always come to you
in times of trouble, when times are cruel
and you've always shown me an open road
to carry on
and I know you love them, but I don't
you will forgive them, but I hope you won't
say goodbye now, for just a while now and carry on
