Written by debbi peterson & walker igleheart   Main voice: debbi   Produced by kindred spirit   Released on 'kindred spirit' (1995)      In the village seventh day   All god's children bow to pray   Hands together, close their eyes   Pray for mercy from the sky.      Heaven comes to those who wait   Preacher says to procreate, oh why   Keep the faith, God has a plan   Hungry child won't understand, oh my.      Time has come now.      We can't wait for you   No, we can't wait for you, no.      City where the children weep   Like a river wide and deep   Mecca for the working man   Looking for the promised land.      Leave the barren fields of home   To walk the city streets of stone, oh why   Preacher says "now hush, don't cry"   You'll be rewarded when you die.      Time has come now.      We can't wait for you   No, we can't wait for you   We can't wait forever.      By the time the meek inherit the earth   It will have lost it's worth.      No, we can't wait for you   No, we can't wait forever   We can't wait for you   No, we can't wait forever   We can't wait for you.
