Lyrics Spreading The News - Mickey Hart, Tarriona 'Tank' Ball

Spreading The News

Of speaking out with passion
In what you do believe
Redeeming thought with action
In truth and word and deed
Not for sake of fashion
Not for credit or for fame
Not this generation, please
More of the same
It might not be so clear
But in its smallness lies its power
A single petal on a rose
A moment in the hour
I been singing in the valley
I been preaching on the hill
Concerning truth and justice
About saying what you will
I do not have an answer
Such answers can’t be found
Keep one eye on the future
And the other on home ground
The other on home ground
Keep one eye on the future
And the other on home ground
This is my homeland
My faith and my song
Beyond confusion
Of right or of wrong
Speak with conviction
Believe in your worth
The equal of any
Soul on this earth
Speak with conviction
Believe in your worth
The equal of any
Soul on this earth
This is my homeland
My faith and my song
Beyond all confusion
Of right or wrong
Speak with conviction
Believe in my worth
The equal of any
Soul on this earth
This is my homeland
My faith and my song
Beyond all confusion
Of right or wrong
Speak with conviction
Believe in your worth
The equal of any
