Song Lyrics

I am a but a woman
I'm of age yet so young
Many questions never answered
Walk the line come undone
As I tread the trodden highway
Trying to make it my way
I can't help but feel something's wrong

Oh and I will never bow down to a Babylon system
When my people suffer, truth kept undercover
Lies supplying them blue colors
Have we not grown enough to see?
They repeat offending
In our lifetime, still confronted by
Inequality, yeah

We're crying, crying but no one hears
Why can't you ease all our fear
We're crying, crying, crying out for you
What the hell are we supposed to do?

Tell me
Tell me

I am but a man
From the time once knew me
And I heard so many answers
That it's too hard to even tell
But I learned to look out forward
'Cause we've seen the way the world works
I can't help but indeed
We're gonna pull out through

I'll never bow down to a Babylon system
No more should my people suffer
For the chase of the big dollar
Have we not grown enough to see?
The same thing happening
Is still run by a misguided old ideology

We're crying, crying but no one hears
Why can't you help easy all our fear
We're crying, crying, crying out for you
What the hell are we supposed to do?

Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (tell me)

Talk about the promises that you never keep
You're hard to believe when morality is weak
Deception is powerful, what you portray seems true
Your words got no meaning 'cause you never follow through
And you look me in the eyes with no word of a lie
Tell me things are gonna change, everything will be alright
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Tell me
Tell me (won't you tell me, tell me)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (woah oh)
Tell me (oh please no)
Tell me (yeah, yeah)
