I Had No Right |
| God of the poor man, this is how the day began |
| Eight codefendants, I, Daniel Berrigan |
| Oh and only a layman’s batch of napalm |
| We pulled the draft files out |
| We burned them in the parking lot |
| Better the files than the bodies of children |
| I had no right but for the love of you |
| I had no right but for the love of you |
| Many roads led here, walked with the suffering |
| Tom in Guatamala, Phillip in New Orleans |
| Oh it’s a long road from law to justice |
| I went to Vietnam |
| I went for peace, they dropped their bombs |
| Right where my government knew I would be |
| I had no right but for the love of you |
| I had no right but for the love of you |
| And all my country saw |
| Were priests who broke the law |
| First it was question, then it was a mission |
| How to be American, how to be a Christian |
| Oh if their law is their cross and the cross is burning |
| The love of you |
| The love of you |
| God of the just I’ll never win a peace prize |
| Falling like Jesus, now let the jury rise |
| Oh it’s all of us versus all that paper |
| They took the only way |
| They know who is on trial today |
| Deliver us unto each other, I pray |
| I had no right but for the love of you |
| And every trial I stood, I stood for you |
| Eyes on the trial |
| 8 a.m. arrival |
| Hands on the Bible |
