Weeping
Josh Groban
(feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo)

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 heardIts lonely soundIt 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 sleepingBut as the night came round I heard--Its lonely sound--It wasn't roaring, it was weeping--It wasn't roaring, it was weeping. --Say ah, say ah, say ahSay ah, say ah, say ah

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow--It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow--It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow--He tells the world that it's sleeping--But as the night came round I heardIts lonely sound--It wasn't roaring, it was weeping--It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.Say ah, say ah, say ahSay ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
