lamentation

Lyrics

i saw my brother, he did me wrong, he put a gun up to my face, my money's gone, i said please don't be that way, i'm just trying to make it through the day, he said you better not come 'round, me before too long, whoa ooh, love is crying, love is dying, love is crying, omm, i saw my sister, she did me wrong, i had a smile up on my face, but hers were so cold, i said sister please don't go, i'm just trying to say hello, she said you better not come 'round me, before too long and i said, can you hear the cries from heaven up above, looking down upon this world of dying love, open up your heart hurry don't delay, before the chance to save, the world is gone away, i asked my father, lord what's wrong, thru his tears i heard him say, child be strong, 'cause the world i'm trying to save, done turned me away, but they better come 'round, my way before too long,
