The Watchman’s Lament

WHY DO WE SLEEP TONIGHT?
WHY DON’T WE KEEP THE WATCH?
WHEN THE MASTER SAID WE KNOW NOT
WHEN HE COMES, WHEN HE WILL COME NOW
GONNA TESTIFY TO THE LOVE
AND THE LIGHT I’VE BEEN GIVEN
BUT I’M MYSTIFIED BY THE SIGNS
AND THE THINGS UNDISCOVERED
GONNA TESTIFY TO THE LOVE
AND THE LIGHT I’VE BEEN GIVEN
GONNA TESTIFY
WHY CAN’T WE RISE AGAIN?
WHY DON’T WE RIGHT THIS WRONG?
WHEN INSIDE MY HEART I KNOW
I AM STRONG, HE MADE ME STRONG NOW
I GUESS IT’S THE PART OF ME THAT
BELIEVED IN HER
HEY, WE ARE LONG TO BE LOVED
TO BE WHOLE AGAIN
LIKE A CHILD
