The lyrics of Sir Ford's song Oh Lord are a cry for help and an expression of despair for the ongoing violence and crime that plague society. The opening lines describe the wicked ones crawling out in broad daylight with their guns, taking the lives of innocent youth. The artist questions what is humbling in this world and wonders what can be done to stop the senseless killings. He calls out for peace, unity, and a better world, urging people to look within themselves and find love in their hearts.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of hopelessness and a feeling that things have gotten out of control. The artist questions whether we are in the end of days, and whether we are living in a world without values. He calls out for divine intervention, crying out to the Lord and asking for protection and guidance. The song's closing lines reiterate the theme of the artist's cry for help; somebody has to do something.
The song conveys a powerful message of desperation and a call for change. It highlights the pain and sorrow caused by crime and violence, and the need for personal and societal transformation. It speaks to the universal desire for peace, love, and a better world, and invites listeners to join in the struggle towards achieving these ideals.
