Lyrics
Oh my father, where can you be Do you travel the earth just like me As you pass on your way Can you hear the people cry Can you hear people cry in the night Have you seen the hungry faces from the East Or have you seen the wealthy princess from the West Have you seen the cornfields burned to the ground Just to keep their prices high and their keep money safe and sound Have you seen the little children starve and die Have you seen the light of God burning bright Of revelation that blinds your wicked ways As he granted entrance to a seven layer home Has he given license to preach his love abroad Has you given up your soul to this all Or have you weakened and set your body free Let your mind grow with dreams of a-misery Can you smell the poppy seed blow through the air Or is it ruby you need and a woman young and fair Have you sold out to the Devils grin Oh my father, where can you be Now, do you travel the earth just like me As you pass on your way Can you hear the people cry Can you hear people cry in the night
