Where You Been |
He was driving into Chicago in a borrowed El Camino |
On a hazeless day in springtime, I think it was the Cinco De Mayo |
Maybe it was St Paddy’s or the Gay Pride parade |
But I’ve never seen nobody light up the street that way |
Brother where you been? |
Hold on if you can |
Just do your best then say, «Amen» |
Called in sick for the weekend, drinking St Paulies in Wisconsin |
I was fishing with my buddies, was a Sunday afternoon |
There beneath the halo of an Old Milwaukee sign |
He said, «There's big ones in the shallows, and I see 'em all the time» |
Brother where you been? |
Hold on if you can |
Just do your best then say, «Amen» |
I stopped in the Seven-Eleven, I was buying an Aquafina |
He was wearing knock-off sneakers. |
I was nursing a hangover |
He said, «You're worth a whole alot more baby than you’ve ever dared to dream |
of» |
Like he knew the secret sketchy places I’d been looking for love |
Sister where you been? |
Hold on if you can |
Just do your best then say, «Amen» |
A tall skinny guy in dread locks said that they’re giving' out free bagels and |
lox |
I took the kids and all my plastic bags and walked the seven blocks |
There were joggers and commuters, skate board kids and Goths |
There were drunks and dogs and meter maids in that downtown vacant lot |
He said, «The universe is unfolding, the center still is holding |
There’s enough if we just share it, now y’all, don’t forget to pass the basket» |
Blessed are the good hearted, the poets and the dreamers |
And all us crazy holy hungry ones who still believe in something better |
Brother, where you been? |
Hold on if you can |
Just do your best then say, «Amen» |
I saw Jesus talking shop, with Buddha at Starbucks |
I saw Gaea and Ganesh, doing double Dutch in the park |
Mohammad was throwing popcorn to the pigeons and the sparrows |
And all us crazy holy hungry ones still believe in something better |
Brother, where you been? |
Hold on if you can |
Just do your best then say, «Amen» |
Sister, where you been? |
Hold on if you can |
Just do your best then say, «Amen» |
Say «Amen» |
Say «Amen» |
