Send your message out, mister drum major Keep on beatin' hard In search of stolen rights, Dim out all the lights Just to win the dark For all the seed you sow, Reaper's harvest grows With a righteous mind Whenever it is pain, your voice will ring again More and more each time Pray for the ones left in the cold Talk to the young, talk to the old Simple words will make us understand Just because the soul of a man Never lives his life in vain Let's pray for the soul of a man Standin'in the crossfire You don't talk so much,
But I know that you've got A lotta things to say Justice was a dream and the road's Still long it seems Miles and miles away And towers crumble down, The wheels are spinnin' round But you will never fail 'Cause the message will be sent, So let's all raise our hands In a peace sign, yeah Pray for the ones left in the cold Talk to the young, talk to the old Simple words will make us understand Just because the soul of a man Never lives his life in vain Let's pray for the soul of a man Standin'in the crossfire
