[Chorus:] Ain't it hard to see the children and to see them having no place to go, Lord yeah ain't it hard to reveal them that it's so, so hard – oh – it's so, so hard to find a place where there's love? The tide has been low and the tide has been high still I see teardrops but why won't them dry? their souls hear them crying, their souls they can't fly the devil's hate he broke the wings of their life Oh please all of your prophets come and teach all your sheep the shepherd never said fight until one man a bleed and the words of the wise they live in charity teach the blind and the deaf 'til them hear and them see Didn't you know, what goes up friend one day it comes down didn't you know, what goes round sure one day it comes round didn't you know, what you bury one day it will grow?
