The Lord and America
Folder:
Spiritual The eyes of the lord look down at me
I can see the white and endless shine
as I stare beyond an endless sea
that draws a never ending line.
The lord and I sat together thinking, praying
All the longer he said to me,
"What is thy humble sacred saying?"
And there I sat, my mind no longer free.
"When I go, and go I will,"
"I want to have an equal opporitunity."
"These things you see, that house, this mill,"
"Will be burned, ashes into the sea."
I thought my thoughts, he said he could save
the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
I wonder if the Red Indians had another name for their own land, the native country which has been renamed America now a home to the brave, to the cream of world society ..
