For Me

Hunger and heartache they haunt me like so many footsteps
Approaching our door in the dead of the night
So much of my childhood lost to their unscrupulous greed now
As bullets shear past us, I wonder if I will be next?

Hopes and dreams of a life I've yet to taste
A future full of promise is my goal
(But) where I'm from that future's been exchanged
For bitter nights as tears run down my face

Oh that you would let justice roll through this land like a river
What will you say to me when all has been said and done?
That which you did not do for the least of these
No, you didn't, you didn't do it for me

So I must go (So I must go)
And leave the only life I've ever known
I'm taking this chance and compelled by the sweet invitation
Yes I must go (Yes I must go)
I need some help just getting on the boat
Longing for life not besieged by the threat of extinction

The waters are swelling around me and it's hard to see now
Where are those who are known by love that they show to each other?
My only desire was to show what I have to give you!
But too late my time's up I guess I belong to the sea

Oh that you would let justice roll through this land like a river
What will you say to me when all has been said and done?
That which you did not do for the least of these
No, you didn't, you didn't do it for me

For me
For me
You didn't do it for me

For me
You didn't do it for me

For me
You didn't do it for me

For me
You didn't do it for me

For me
You didn't do it for me

For me
You didn't do it for me

For me
