lyrics

Logs water soaked in the stream of conviction
Logs water soaked in the stream of conviction

emergency! emergency! of music muses
Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta,
Philadelphia, Fort Worth
in these towns everyone was around
gathered in cold basements shacks or barns
with only the holy ghost to keep them warm

Logs water soaked in the stream of conviction

Risky business training sound warriors
too many to name
there is no fame in this game
a saint could be a sinner a sinner could be a saint
Sometimes we have to leave religion alone
just speak to God speak to God

How you gonna make the logs burn when there is no compassion?
How you gonna make the logs burn when there is no compassion?

Revenge has never been a friend
not since I've been in
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
Is a formula for eternal war

Revolution
evolution from the inside out
evolution from the inside out

Love dances all over the world
Joy stops war immediately
I know, I was there from the beginning
I'll be there in the end
Who will be the first to carry flowers to the street of no return
Who will be the first to sing in their own voice
and tap those rhythms out in their own way

Now, don't all get up at once
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

Say something sometime
Say something sometime
bird is poem in sky
yesterday won't be long
today is gone
tomorrow is born
tomorrow is born

-William Parker
