Ignorance Is The Enemy

Oh Mother, oh Father
 In our time of fear
 Grant us the wisdom
 Your message for to hear
 Send down Your angel band
 To fill your hearts with power
 Oh Mother, oh Father
 In our darkest hour
 Ignorance is the enemy
 And it fills your head with lies
 It's the kind of bliss that can make you miss
 The very truth before your eyes
 It's not who's right or wrong
 Weak or strong, black or white you see
 Ignorance is the enemy
 And it's keeping you from me
 Forgive me all my pettiness
 Forgive me all my greed
 Forgive me for I know not how
 To live this life I lead
 Ignorance is the enemy
 Let's set the record straight
 If history must repeat itself
 Why worry while you wait
 It's a perfect blue and beautiful world
 You treat with such disdain
 Ignorance is the enemy
 And it can only bring you pain
 Forgive me all my vanity
 Forgive me my conceit
 Forgive me when I'm crawling
 Like a beggar at your feet
 Ignorance is the enemy
 And it wields on mighty sword
 It can cut you down in a blaze of glory
 It can nail you to a board
 If mercy and compassion only had a chance
 It could fill these holes we've dug
 But ignorance is the enemy
 And it's working like a drug
 Oh Mother, oh Father
 In our time of fear
 Grant us the wisdom
 Your message for to hear
 Send down Your angel band
 To fill our hearts with power
 Oh Mother, oh Father
 In our darkest hour
