68. Justice - rough vocal sketch |
LyricsJustice© 2015 Sahlen-Starburst Nasty scars upon her back from the whippings she's endured Filling burlap bags through the vision sweat obscures Her fingers dripping blood from the cotton's thorns She searches for the hope of a chance to be re-born (chorus) Justice are you looking down so sweet and full of pain In the early light of dawn following an August rain Where are you, I can't see you, but I sense you're on your way? You're such a long time coming, we need you here today Marching across bridges through the history of our times I can see your steady progress as we leave the past behind Being dragged from luncheon counters, arrested on a bus Paved the path toward freedom, full equality for us (optional chorus) Break Bridge Over centuries you struggle through deniers and support Though you never have stopped trying as our history will report Sometimes subtle sometimes bold, sometimes cautiously alone With a hand upon your trigger life can find the seeds you've sown (Chorus) |
