Joshua James - Crash This Train

I hope you find what you're looking for
When it all comes running down
I hope you find it painted black on your window
Or the lips of your lover's frown
Because if it dies in the cold, when the clouds start to roll
Is it then that your soul starts to bleed?

Have you ever seen the President who killed your wounded child?
Or the man that crashed your sister's plane claiming he was sent of God?
And when she died in your arms, late that night in the dark
Did you pray to your God to come home?
Because it ain't fair to say that these tracks are the same

So God, if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God, if you can hear me, crash this train

Now a note to the President, and the government, and the judges of this place
We're still waiting for you to bring our troops home, and clean up that mess you made
Because it smells of blood and money and oil across the Iraqi land
But it seems so easy to blind us with your "United We Stand"

And it ain't hard to see that this country ain't free

So God, if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God, if you can hear me, crash this train

To the mothers and to the fathers who've done the best they could
Because raising young ones in a messed up world, it ain't so understood
So I'll cover my ears, I'll cover my eyes, pretend that love's the same
With one court's signature, it all becomes erased

And it ain't hard to tell
When it's love that we sell

So God, if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God, if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God, if you can hear me, crash this train
I said my God, if you can hear me, crash this train
