Hang My Head and Cry lyrics

I make my money, I take my pay

No time for family, no time to pray

And it comes as no big wonder that I'm suffering defeat

I wanna hang my head and cry

I'm gonna hang my head and cry

For the times I've lived a lie

And cry, Father, forgive me

For I know just what I do

I'm gonna hang my head and cry

I take offense at the world (but I) take no stand

One man against the tide can never heal this land

Meanwhile liberty's been wounded and justice is abused

I want to hang my head and cry

I'm gonna hang my head and cry

For the part I've played in the lie

And cry, Father, forgive me

For I know just what I do

I'm gonna hang my head and cry

It's time to put away the things of a child

'Cause for too long I've neglected the things that are worthwhile

In my heart, my home, my world

Shape me with Your hands

Lord, make this boy Your man

Want more from livin' than just living for today

Want more from sacrifice than just tithing to a plate

Wanna be more than healthy

More than wealthy or just wise

I wanna see the hunger in the third world's eyes

And not write it off and wrap it up

In Christian talk and guise

Don't let me become the man that I say that I despise

I wanna hang my head and cry
