The Wound So Deep

I sustained your words to the world

Refused to question your deeds

Recalled your wounded honesty

And your integrity was to be sealed

I lost it all, but not my belief

Practised wealth and poverty

And if one thing in life is certain

In death we'll find equality

(Now I will be)

Now I will be the light

To raise your hope inside

Until you know how it really feels

How can someone believe

We cannot make it real

How can we find something that heals

The wound so deep, the wound so deep

When freedom fails and love is banned

How can this hope be wrong

In times of death and suffering

We tumble in the storm

You claim to cure with punishment

And say that god is yours

But in the end we're all the same

The wealthy and the poor

Now I will be the light

To raise your hope inside

Until you know how it really feels

How can someone believe

We cannot make it real

How can we find something that heals

The wound so deep, the wound so deep

We know death will come but another age dawns and in silence we'll remain

I go where another stream flows but my faith will be the same

Hope will come and together we'll bear to fight against the odds

And we heal

The wound so deep, the wound so deep

I sustained your words to the world

Refused to question your deeds

Now I will be the light

To raise your hope inside

Until you know how it really feels

How can someone believe

We cannot make it real

How can we find something that heals

The wound so deep, the wound so deep

The wound so deep, the wound so deep
