Well once upon a wilderness in Canaan's promise land

 God revealed to Abraham the judgment he had planned

 For the wicked fallen people there who lived there in the bale

 He was going to rain a city wide with brimstone and hail

(Verse 2)

Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered view

 Abraham stepped forward to ask God if he ought to

 Pointing out the chance that there might be an upright man

 Living there is Sodom dear old Abraham began

(Chorus)

Would you give them one more chance father please

For I know they've sinned against your just decrees

But if there's 50 righteous men

 would you stop and think again

 would you spare that city down below (down below)

 would you spare that wicked city down below

(Verse 3)

Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and said he'd stay his hand

 If the said amount of righteous men were living in the land

 So encouraged by this guarantee and found mercy kind

 Abraham went further still for his changed his mind

(Chorus)

Would you give them one more chance father please

For I know they've sinned against your just decrees

But if there's 40 righteous men

 would you stop and think again

 would you spare that city down below (down below)

 would you spare that wicked city down below

(Verse 4)

This request was granted surely mighty God had spoken true

 He'd forgive them all the folly if he found a holy few

 But Abraham protested there might be a couple less

 Please don't be angry if I make another guess

(Chorus)

Would you give them one more chance father please

For I know they've sinned against your just decrees

But if there's 30, 20, 10

 would you stop and think again

 would you spare that city down below (down below)

 would you spare that wicked city down below

(Bridge)

Well nowadays it seems we can do just as we please

An no one's gonna stop us now or force us to our knees

 It seems like we've forgotten that the God of Cannan's land

 Is still the judge in heaven holding mercy in His hand

(Outtro)

So would you give us one more chance father please

For I know we've sinned against your just decrees

But if save these broken men

 We'll rise up to walk again

 would you save this city down below (down below)

 would you save this wicked city down below
