Lyrics

LE LAY RACHEL CRY
Written and Composed by Rodney B. Miles, Sr.

I met a child who had no smile
And not a word to say
I spent some time with men so blind
Couldn?t tell night from day.
Wow wow
Oh sisters too, what must I do
To take all your pain away
They killed them all; the weak, the small
Now they pretend and pray.
Wow wow, Rachel cried,
Pain inside my heart
But nothing ever changes; it all turns out the same
Herod the King, in his raging
Charged as he had this day
His men of might in his own sight
All little ones to slay
Wow wow, Rachel cried,
Children dying Lord
But nothing ever changes; it all turns out the same
A man named Ben does it again
Caused the whole world to cry
Brings down the planes, now hell can reign
Fire jumps into the sky.
Wow wow, Rachel cried,
People dying Lord
I saw a bush on FIRE,
Flames climbing higher and higher
Now just like the king he?s raging
Swearing someone should die
So send up our planes, now hell can reign
Call fire fall out of the sky
Wow wow, Rachel cried,
Children dying Lord
But nothing ever changes; it all turns out the same
You think that we would have learned by now
Lord, it?s a crying shame, yeah
Le La Lulay, a tiny child
Li li lulay lulay
They killed the light in the name of right
There?s nothing more to say.
