Ralph Ellison
Make Hymn Cry
Something should be punished for making her cry
Something cruel had made her cry
If I only knew what it was
Was it God?
Vast and high like a rainbow
Sad and deep like when the organ plays
You must remember this
You've got to understand
Yes, I'll kill it. I'll make it cry
Even if it's God, I'll make God cry
I'll kill him. I'll kill God
And not be sorry
