God Part 3 i don't believe in beatles, i don't believe in rock i dont't believe in the cutting edge, that's just journalist talk i don't believe in the cover story or the gospel chart you can easily hit number one with a bullet and totally miss the heart but i oh i believe in God i don't believe in politics while the masses stay unfed til the leaders change priorities and supply the poor with bread don't believe in the revolution or the empty words of peace you can tear all of the governments down you still won't find release but i oh i believe in God i don't believe the papacy when fallible lies are told if they really want to help the poor they should sell some of their gold and i don't believe the aryans are the master race if you think that Jesus is white you'd be surprised to see His face but i oh i believe in God don't believe in esperanto or the dreams of babylon if we all spoke the same language, long ago we would'a built the bomb and i don't believe in money the way lives are bought and sold and when this world is ended bankrupt i'm gonna walk the streets of gold no i don't believe in evolution, i was born to be free ain't gonna let no anthropologist make a monkey out of me and i don't believe the devil, i ain't gonna be his slave and when i'm finished dying i'm gonna bust out of my grave oh i yeh i oh i - I and i oh i oh i believe in God i believe in God i believe in God i believe in God - Larry Norman "Live Forever!" | ||||

God Part 2 Don't believe the devil I don't believe the book But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up I don't believe in excess sucess is to give I don't believe in riches but you should see where I live I... I believe in love Don't believe in forced entry I don't believe in rape But everytime she passes by wild thoughts escape I don't believe in deathrow skidrow or the gangs Don't believe in the Uzi it just went off in my hand I... I believe in love Don't believe in cocaine I got a speedball in my head I could cut and crack you open... did you hear what I said? Don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure The rich stay healthy the sick stay poor I... I believe in love I don't believe in Goldman his type like a curse Instant karma's gonna get him if I don't get him first I don't believe that Rock 'N Roll can really change the world As it spins in revolution spirals and turns I... I believe in love I don't believe in the 60's in the golden age of pop You glorify the past when the future dries up I heard a singer on the radio late last night Says he's gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight* I... I believe in love I feel like I'm falling like I'm spinning on a wheel It always stops beside a name a presence I can feel I... I believe in love - U2 *Bruce Cockburn "Live Forever!" | ||||

Lovers in a Dangerous Time Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight - Bruce Cockburn "Live Forever!" | ||||

The First Christmas Morning Away in the east shines a star in the sky That leads us to where He is born And bearing good tidings and gifts we shall give To Him on this first Christmas morning To Him on this first Christmas morning Holy our journey and holy our love That takes us to find and adore Him And blessed the baby that sleeps in his bed And wakes on this first Christmas morning And wakes on this first Christmas morning Ahhh-Ahhh Alleluia Ahhh-Ahhh Alleluia Ahhh-Ahhh Alle Ahhh-Ahhh Alle Ahhh-Ahhh Alleluia The Lord in His wisdom, the Lord in His grace Has given to man a redeemer To save us from sin and to show us the light That shines on this first Christmas morning And will shine ever each Christmas morning - Dan Fogelberg "Live Forever!" | ||||

Say what?! I liked it! When did Liberal get to be a bad name or adjative? Aren't we for the little guys, the disenfrancised, the middle class? What better to be than a Liberal American, for social justice and equal opportunity for all. | ||||

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween You got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minimum And have faith, or pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark, What did they do, just when everything looked so dark? Man, they said, we better Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween - Harold Arlen (& Johnny Mercer) | ||||

We used to be, but that America is gone! Glad you liked it. "Live Forever!" | ||||

For Mr Braling: Pacing the Cage Sunset is an angel weeping Holding out a bloody sword No matter how I squint I cannot Make out what it's pointing toward Sometimes you feel like you live too long Days drip slowly on the page You catch yourself Pacing the cage I've proven who I am so many times The magnetic strip's worn thin And each time I was someone else And every one was taken in Powers chatter in high places Stir up eddies in the dust of rage Set me to pacing the cage I never knew what you all wanted So I gave you everything All that I could pillage All the spells that I could sing It's as if the thing were written In the constitution of the age Sooner or later you'll wind up Pacing the cage Sometimes the best map will not guide you You can't see what's round the bend Sometimes the road leads through dark places Sometimes the darkness is your friend Today these eyes scan bleached-out land For the coming of the outbound stage Pacing the cage Pacing the cage - Bruce Cockburn "Live Forever!" | ||||

I happened to think of this because he's coming to our parish next Sunday. Sin For A Season There's a sweaty hand handling his cocktail napkin "come on up and see me" is scribbled with a gold pen "but you'd better ring twice" seven months after his little indiscretion he sits with his wife at a therapy session for a little advice "if the healing happens as the time goes by tell me why I still can't look her in the eye" "God I'm only human, got no other reason..." sin for a season... There's a shaky hand shaking with the hand of her hostess drank a little much, but she'll drive herself home if she can make it to her car she never saw the sign or the boy with his daddy driving home late from their very first ballgame and they don't get far now the years run together as her guilt goes wild she still sees the body of an only child "God I'm only human, got no other reason..." sin for a season... Wealthy lips say "keep us from the Evil One" while the praying hands prey with deliberate cunning on the carcass of the cold gonna get the Good Lord to forgive a little sin get the slate cleaned so he can dirty it again and no one else will ever know but he reaps his harvest as his heart grows hard no man's gonna make a mockery of God "I'm only human, got no other reason..." sin for a season... - Steve Taylor "Live Forever!" | ||||
