I bless you ma dly
S adly a s I tie my sh oe
I love you ba dly
J ust in ti me at times I gu ess
Bec ause of yo u I need to re st
Be cause it's y ou that sets the te st
S o much has gone and li ttle is new
A nd as the spar row sings
Dawn cho rus for
So meone else to hear
T he thinker si ts alone
Gro wing ol der
A nd so bitter
I gave Them life I gave Them all
They d rained my very so ul...dry
I crushed my heart to ease Their pa ins
No thou ght for me rema ins there
N othing can they s pare
What of me ?
W ho praised Their efforts to be free?
Wo rds of strength and care and sympathy
I open doors that would have blocked their way
I br aved Their cause to guide for little pay
I ravaged at my finance just for Those
Those whose claims were steeped in peace tranquility
T hose who said a new world new ways ever free
Those whose promises stretched in hop e and grace for me.''
I bless you madly
Sa dly as I tie my shoe
I love you badly
Ju st in time at times I guess
Bec ause of you I need to rest
Bec ause it's you th at sets the test
S o much has gone and little i s new
A nd as the sunrise stream
Fl ickers on me
My friends talk of g lory un told dream
Where all is God and God is just a word
W e had a friend a talking man
Who spoke of many powers th at he had
No t of the best of men but Ours
We us ed him We let him use his pow ers
We l et him fill our needs
Now we are strong.
A nd the road is coming to its end
No w the damned have not time to make amends
N o purse of token fortunes stands in Our way
The si lent guns of love will blast the sky
W e broke the ruptured structure build of age
Our weapo ns were tongues of crying rage
Where mone y stood we planted seeds of rebirth
And stabb ed the backs of fathers sons of dirt
Inf iltrated business cesspools
Hating through Our sl eeves
Yea and We slit t he Catholic throat
Stoned the poor on slogans a s:
-Wish You Could He ar-
-Love Is All We Need-
-Kick Out The Jams-
-Kick Out Your Mother-
-Cu t Up Your Friend-
-Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In t he End-
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
And We Can Force You to Be Free
And We Can Force You to Believe.''
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were sla in
For they Knew not the words of the Free States' Refrain
It said:
I Believe in the Power of Good
I Bel ieve in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right.'
And I open my eyes t o look around
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
A s a love machine lumbers t hrough desolation rows
P loughing down man woman l istening to its command
But not hear ing anymore
Not heari ng anymore
Just the shrieks from the old rich
And I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls 'N ow'
And I Want to Believe
That a light is shining through some how
And I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Liv e
We Want to Live
We Want To Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
