lyrics

How long, o Lord, ’til we see justice on earth?
I’ve just been sitting on my suitcase making rhymes.
Help me be a blessing, ’stead of bewailing the times.

Will you send me to the hummingbird shore?
There’re beasts there that’ve never been seen before;
Or fly me out to Californ-i-aye?
Even dreams dream dreams there (or so they say);
Or plant me back upon the old north coast,
Get that Portstewart sand in between my toes?
Don’t need to be a legend –
Push me out like a fledgling
From the sunny mountainside on a one-way flight.

I cast my vote – Napoleon’s still running the farm.
If I speak, let me speak like his time is short –
If his thought police are bugging, hope there’s something to report.

I saw a miracle and life didn’t change
Cause I never lived differently the next day.
But we’ll make a path – make it prayer by prayer
Get my hands dirty here (good as anywhere).
The next corner that I turn around,
There’ll be growth, grief and glory there to be found…

That tree is charged with redwings.
Push me out like a fledgling
From the sunny mountainside on a one-way flight.
