Redemption Day Lyrics With Guitar Chords (Johnny Cash )

I’ve wept for those who suffer long

But how I weep for those who’ve gone

In rooms of grief and questioned wrong

But keep o n killing

It’s in the soul to feel such things

But weak to watch without speaking

Oh, what mercy sadness brings

If God be willing

There is a train that’s heading straight

To Heave n’s gat e, to Heav en’s gate

And on the way child and man

And wo man w ait, watch and wait

For redemp tion day

Fire rages in the streets

And swallows everything it meets

It’s just an image often seen

On tele vision

Come leaders, come ye men of great

Let us hear you pontificate

Your many virtues laid to waste

And we aren ‘t listeni ng

There is a train that’s heading straight

To Heave n’s gat e, to Heav en’s gate

And on the way child and man

And wo man w ait, watch and wait

For redem ption day

What do you have for us today

Throw u s a bone but save the plate

Oh why we waited till so late

Was there no oil to excavate

No riches in trade for the fate

Of every person who died in hate

Throw us a bone, y ou men of great

There is a train that’s heading straight

To Heave n’s gat e, to Heav en’s gate

And on the way child and man

And wo man w ait, watc h and wait

For redem ption day

It’s burie d in the cou ntryside

Explodin g in the shel ls of night

It’s ever ywhere a b aby cries

Freedom …… Freedom …… Freedom
