There will come a time in life When you feel swept out with the tide You really want to get you some But actually no-one’s on your side. You stand there, at the end And I sit here, wanting to die Only inside as you curse my French But baby, all I did was try? How long can a man survive this? How long can he believe in love? How long can he hold onto a chord, a prayer? How long can he believe in a God above? It makes me mad to think, God when will I be loved? I come home alone every day and night I just sit there crying, wondering When will somebody see the light? When will we realise that today When we shell and run for cover It shouldn’t be a God that we fear But indeed how we treat each other. We are so cruel in the things we say It pains me Josy, baby, cos it’s true Why do you want to hurt me so badly When all I wanted was to love you?
