I make my money, I make 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 wanna 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 wanna hang my head and cry
I take offense at the world
But I take no stand
One man against the tide
Can never heal our land
Meanwhile, liberty's been wounded
And justice, she's abused
I wanna hang my head and cry
I wanna hang my head and cry
For the part I'vе played in the lie
And cry Fathеr forgive me
For I know just what I do
I wanna hang my head and cry
So, it's time to put away
The things of a child
For too long I have neglected
The things that are worthwhile
So, with my heart
My home, my world, Lord
Hold me with your hands
And, Lord, make this boy your man
Yeah, yeah
I want more from livin'
Than just living for today
I want more of sacrifice
Than just tithing to a plate
Wanna be more than healthy
More than wealthy, more than 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
I wanna hang my head and cry, Lord
I wanna hang my head and cry
I wanna hang my head and cry...
