The Very Blest of  Jack Tannehill


Hard Rain

There are full moons
Locked in closed rooms
There's an Eagle in hot water
There is freedom locked in cages
All our war wounds have left us painless

So many heroes lost to scandal
Finding men human can be tough to handle
We'll hate one nation for one man's bullet
We can love each other but we won't do it

I think it's time Lord
For a Hard Rain
Flush these waters
Cleanse our soils
Wash our children
Of the wrongs we've taught them
Shine on them a new world
Bless them with a rainbow
   Left by a Hard Rain

Too often passion is quoted from Hallmarks
Television has made us robots
We'll follow leaders who are meeker
Than our neighbors we've kept as strangers

Too much silence, words should be spoken
Too many children from homes that are broken
Maybe all this violence in our school rooms
Comes from parents who just don't care
   Or push too much too soon

I think it's time Lord
For a Hard Rain
Flush these waters
Cleanse our soils
Wash our children
Of the wrongs we've taught them
Shine on them a new world
Bless them with a rainbow
   Left by a Hard Rain
