Intro When tears fall like rain And you loose the things you live for, gone is the hope Why’s and wherefore’s run away, run away, fade away When sorrow squeezes the pain And the sounds of memories echo in your mind Once this land rang with liberty Health, and children running free My children running to me |
Based on the story of Job: 1 v21 "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." 3 v26 "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil." 6 v11 "What strength do I have that I should still hope?" 6 v24 "Show me where I have been wrong." |
