Kid Rock — Amen

[Verse 1] It's another night in hell, another child won't live to tell Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death? And as we sit free and well, another soldier has to yell "Tell my wife and children I love them" in his last breath [Chorus] Come on now, amen (Amen) Amen (Amen) [Verse 2] Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse Natural disasters, all these wolves in sheep clothes pastors Now god damn it, I'm scared to send my children to church And how can we seek salvation when our nation's a race relations Got me feelin' guilty of being white? But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior I'm no saint, but I believe in what is right [Chorus] Come on now, amen (Amen) I said amen (Amen) [Verse 3] Stop pointin' fingers and take some blame Pull your future away from the flame Open up your mind and start to live Stop short-changin' your neighbors And livin' off hand-outs and favors And maybe give a little bit more than you got to give, got to give Simplify, testify, identify, rectify And if I get high, stop bein' so uptight It's only human nature and I am not a stranger So baby, won't you stay with me tonight? And when it calls away, they'll break a sign I'm better now and I don't need someone Oh, to be someone Here just sittin' down and and holdin' back I'll hold the door and won't and they don't say "child" I wanna say, yeah [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love (One you love) [Verse 4] Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew Just dyin' to be with you You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you So just hold on, 'cause you know it's true And if you can take the pain And you can withstand anything And one day stand hand in hand with the truth [Chorus] I said amen (Amen) I said amen (Amen) I said amen (Amen) And I said amen (Amen) [Outro] Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
