Love's On Its Way - Corinne Bailey Rae

Oh Father

I wish I had understanding

Never known more

Never been so well informed

We know the score, heard it all before

But I’ve never felt more powerless

There’s so much blood on the streets

So much hope refused

So much grainy teenage photographs on the evening news

Oo, when everywhere’s violence

Silently I go

Love’s on its way

I hope it won’t be too late

When the day comes

And I’ve counted all my sins

How many?

I’ll see

I want to be able to say that I did more

More than pray, I did more

Than just spend my money

Just writing letters

Than just going out marching

I did more than talking and saying the right thing

Wearing the right thing

It’s time for an uprising

Love’s on its way

Love’s on its way

Love’s on its way

Hope it won’t be too late
