I have listened to the prophets and I've listened to their news
And I've seen their marble statues and I've heard the faithful sing
But do they live by what they're singing, would they turn the other cheek


Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can
Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can


In the churches, God is holy, and the people hide their hate
But on the roadside, He's forgotten, and God will have to wait

And how long can he suffer, and how long must he wait

Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can

Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can

And they're fighting one another with a prayer book in their hand

But with the weapons in the other, they'll never understand
And each side claim you was their God, but they take your name in vain


Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can
Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can


Stop and listen to the children, they cannot understand
They are puzzled by the fire and the marching of the band
They've longer to remember, so they will suffer most


Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can
Lead on, I'll follow, I'll find you if I can
