Josh Groban-Weeping
Album:Awake Live
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
(Ladysmith's solo)

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 its slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
Say ah, say ah, say ah
