Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sheryl Crow] I've wept for those who suffer long But how I weep for those who’ve gone Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong But keep on killing It's in the soul to feel such things But weak to watch without speaking Oh what mercy sadness brings If God be willing [Chorus: Sheryl Crow] There is a train that's headed straight To Heaven’s gate, to Heaven's gate And on the way, child and man And woman wait, watch and wait For redemption day [Verse 2: Johnny Cash] Fire rages in the streets And swallows everything it meets It's just an image often seen On television Come leaders, come ye men of great Let us hear you pontificate Your many virtues laid to waste And we aren't listening [Chorus: Sheryl Crow & Johnny Cash] There is a train that's heading straight To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate And on the way, child and man And woman wait, watch and wait For redemption day [Verse 3: Sheryl Crow & Johnny Cash] What do you have for us today Throw us a bone but save the plate On why you waited 'til so late Was there no oil to excavate? No riches in trade for the fate Of every person who died in hate Throw us a bone, you men of great [Chorus: Sheryl Crow & Johnny Cash] There is a train that’s heading straight To Heaven’s gate, to Heaven's gate And on the way, child and man And woman wait, watch and wait For redemption day [Outro: Johnny Cash & Sheryl Crow] It’s buried in the countryside It's hidden in the shells of night It's everywhere a baby cries Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom
