Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
Take all of my lust, take my pride..
Lord I pray that you must, come and save my life..
Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
Have the ocean reached the shore?
Have this blood found its gore?
Will this eagle ever soar?
My mind is a locked door
Cause I don't wanna hurt anymore..
Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
Can't remember when I died
Not sure if I ever lived
Lord I hear you calling but my hands are tied
Because my heart has never healed..
Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
We're lovers of money
We mock you and think it's funny
We lay with women just to taste their honey
You bless us with rain but we complain when it's not sunny..
Do you see us down here O'Lord?
Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
So many in pain
Strapped down by shame
Can't follow you, as if they're lame
Afraid of the church's flame
Burning as if they have no blame..
Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
Just knock down my door
Take my hand Lord
Drag me across this floor
Set me free Lord
I don't wanna hurt anymore..
Can you hear me down here O'Lord?
Will you heal me down here O'Lord?
Do you see me down here O'Lord?
When I kneel down here O'Lord?
