Wave Of Sorrow (Birdland) |
Heat haze rising |
On hell’s own hill |
You wake up this morning |
It took an act of will |
You walk through the night |
To get here today |
To bring your children |
To give them away |
Oh… oh this cruel sun |
Is daylight never done |
Cruelty just begun |
To make a shadow of everyone |
And if the rain came |
And if the rain came |
Souls bent over without a breeze |
Blankets on burning trees |
I am sick without disease |
Nobility on it’s knees |
And if the rain came |
And if the rain came… now |
Would it wash us all away |
On a wave of sorrow |
Wave |
On a wave of sorrow |
Where now the holy cities? |
Where the ancient holy scrolls? |
Where now Emperor Menelek? |
And the Queen of Sheba’s gold |
You’re my bride, you wear her crown |
And on your finger precious stones |
As every good thing now been sold |
Son, of shepherd boy, now king |
What wisdom can you bring? |
What lyric would you sing? |
Where is the music of the Seraphim? |
And if the rain came |
And if the rain came… now |
Would it wash us all away |
On a wave of sorrow |
Wave |
A wave of sorrow |
Wave |
Blessed are the meek who scratch in the dirt |
For they shall inherit what’s left of the earth |
Blessed are the kings who’ve left their thrones |
They are buried in this valley of dry bones |
Blessed all of you with an empty heart |
For you got nothing from which you cannot part |
Blessed is the ego |
It’s all we got this hour |
Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power |
Blessed is the sex worker who sold her body tonight |
She used what she got |
To save her children’s life |
Blessed are you, the deaf cannot hear a scream |
Blessed are the stupid who can dream |
Blessed are the tin canned cardboard slums |
Blessed is the spirit that overcomes |
