Citizens |
| I have a heart full of questions |
| Quieting all my suggestions |
| What is the meaning of Christian |
| In this American life? |
| I’m feeling awfully foolish |
| Spending my life on a message |
| I look around and I wonder |
| Ever if I heard it right |
| Coming to you 'cause I’m confused |
| Coming to you 'cause I feel used |
| Coming to weep while I’m waiting |
| Tell me you won’t make me go |
| I need to know there is justice |
| That it will roll in abundance |
| And that you’re building a city |
| Where we arrive as immigrants |
| And you call us citizens |
| And you welcome us as children home |
| You were alone and rejected |
| Misunderstood and detested |
| You gave it all, didn’t hold back |
| You even gave up your life |
| How can we call ourselves Christians |
| Saying that love is a tension |
| Between the call of the cross and |
| Between the old party line? |
| Coming to you for the mothers |
| Who are all running for cover |
| There is a flood from their weeping |
| Tell me you won’t make them go |
| I need to know there is justice |
| That it will roll in abundance |
| And that you’re building a city |
| Where we arrive as immigrants |
| And you call us citizens |
| And you welcome us as children home |
| There is a man with a family |
| He has a wife and a baby |
| He broke the law just to save them |
| Working for three bucks an hour |
| Truly you said we were equal |
| Everyone’s heart is deceitful |
| Everyone born is illegal |
| When love is the law of the land |
| Coming to you for the hungry |
| Eating the scraps of this country |
| Didn’t you swear you would feed them? |
| Tell me you won’t make them go |
| I need to know there is justice |
| That it will roll in abundance |
| And that you’re building a city |
| Where we arrive as immigrants |
| And you call us citizens |
| And you welcome us as children home |
| There is a wolf who is ranting |
| All of the sheep, they are clapping |
| Promising power and protection |
| Claiming the Christ who was killed |
| Killed by a common consensus |
| Everyone screaming «Barabbas» |
| Trading their God for a hero |
| Forfeiting Heaven for Rome |
| Coming to you 'cause I’m angry |
| Coming to you 'cause I’m guilty |
| Coming to you 'cause you’ve promised |
| To leave the flock for the one |
| I need to know there is justice |
| That it will roll in abundance |
| And that you’re building a city |
| Where we arrive as immigrants |
| And you call us citizens |
| And welcome us as children home |
| Where we arrive as immigrants |
| And you call us citizens |
| And welcome us as children home |
| Is there a way to love always? |
| Living in enemy hallways |
| Don’t know my foes from my friends and |
| I don’t know my friends anymore |
| Power has several prizes |
| Handcuffs can come in all sizes |
| Love has a million disguises |
| But winning is simply not one |
