JOSH GROBAN lyrics : "Weeping"

(feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo)

I knew a man who lived in fear

It was huge, it was angry,
It was drawing near.
Behind his house a secret place

Was the shadow of the demon
He could never face.


He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns to keep it tame
Then standing back he made it plain

That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.


It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard

It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.


And then one day the neighbours came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame

They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal

The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain

Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.


Say ah, say ah, say ah
Say ah, say ah, say ah


[Ladysmith's solo]

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.


Say ah, say ah, say ah
Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
