Josh Groban-Weeping

Album:Awake Live

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 heard

It slowly sound

It 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 sleeping

But as the night came round

I heard it slowly sound

It wasn't roaring,

it was weeping

It wasn't roaring,

it was weeping.

Say ah, say ah, say ah

(Ladysmith's solo)

LRC Produced By Prince William

It doesn't matter now

it's over anyhow

He tells the world

that it's sleeping

But as the night came round

I heard its slowly sound

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping

Say ah, say ah, say ah
