Weeping in the Wings |
Where were you at Wounded Knee? |
What use were you, strung out cool on a tree? |
What use were you weeping in the wings? |
And where are you now for so many things? |
Weeping in the wings, weeping in the wings |
You’re no use to us just weeping in the wings |
Weeping in the wings, weeping in the wings |
You’re no use to us just weeping in the wings |
In the killing fields or where a plague bell rings? |
What’s it with you that you miss all these things? |
By these pickers and stealers (potentates and kings) |
You’re no use at all ya’ll weeping in the wings |
Weeping in the wings, weeping in the wings |
You’re no use to us just weeping in the wings |
Where with the famine the locust brings? |
Where, for the droughts and dried up springs? |
Where for another million things? |
You’re no use at all y’all weeping in the wings |
You took quite a flyer in Dachau that time |
You didn’t smell carnage? |
— Hear the trains on the line? |
I mean you’d have to be deaf and you’d have to be blind |
You’d have to be something that is more than unkind |
Weeping in the wings, weeping in the wings |
You’re no use to us if you’re just weeping in the wings |
Can’t you forgive us? |
— Can we forgive you? |
Who takes the rap for the evil we do? |
Who in hell made us? |
— Man, the trouble we bring! |
How great is the love that will forgive us our sins? |
Weeping in the wings, weeping in the wings |
Seems no-one can stop us from doing these things |
Weeping in the wings, weeping in the wings |
There’s no grace or deliverance weeping in the wings |
