lyrics

Why haven’t you shown favour?
Why does my song fall on deaf ears?
Trees grow tall all around me
I’m in the decay of the morning dew

Waiting with all the warnings
The echo of my name
I have lost my patience
That’s why I’ve been wrestling with Cain

Your wisdom it leaves me hanging
You’re out of touch with all these aspirations
What is the point to go on pleasing
Oh my Lord I am out of range

I have given my all, time after time
But I still got one thing left to give
A great divide between the losers
And the losers who find anyway to win

Waiting with all the warnings
The echo of my name
I have lost my patience
That’s why I’ve been wrestling with Cain
