don't really have courage to stand where I must stand
don't really have the temperament to lend a helping hand
don't really know who sent me to raise my voice and say
may the lights in the land of plenty shine on the truth someday
I don't know why I've come here knowing as I do
what you really think of me, what I really thing of you
for the millions in the prison that wealth has set apart
for the christ who has not risen from the caverns of the heart
for the innermost decision that we cannot but obey
for what's left of our religion I lift my voice and pray
may the lights in the land of plenty
may the lights in the land of plenty
shine on the truth someday
I know I said I need you
I need you at the store
but I cant buy it baby
I cant buy it anymore
I don't really know who sent me
to raise my voice and say
may the lights in the land of plenty
shine on the truth some day
for the innermost decision that we cannot but obey
for what's left of our religion I lift my voice and pray
may the lights in the land of plenty
may the lights in the land of plenty
shine
shine on the truth someday
don't really have the temperament to lend a helping hand
don't really know who sent me to raise my voice and say
