In the cities and the towns

The word is coming down

No more hurt, no more pain

There has been a dragging of the chain

Now there is a price we have to pay

No way out, no way down

Where is the town that we lived in brother

Where are the sounds of the church bell sister

Now is the time to heal

You keep running from the wheel

But there's nothing left to feel

Empty heart down and out

Now the writers can't explain

Why we're playing up again

No way out, no way down

Where is the hope of a clean tomorrow

Hope only offers when justice is coming

Now is the time to heal

Where is the ground, the beloved country

Women and children who have fallen silent

Where are the words that can speak forgiveness

Now is the time to heal
