out looking for hope



there are mountains of reasons to climb here
some will die in this place some were born here
some will bring pleasure
some will bring  pain
hear the thunder rolling
can you smell the rain?

so much sickness
so much sadness
so much lying, trying, and blame
this old world seems uneasy
and the wind's getting breezy
take a whiff, can you smell rain?

a hard rain fell it will fall again
there'll be no where to run and hide
men will beat there breast
women won't bare their chest
and we'll wonder if God's on our side

blessed the feet
who brings words of peace
who comes running with good to explain
but no footfalls i hear
as the storm draws near
get your hat cause it's starting to rain

a hard rain fell it will fall again
there'll be no where to run and hide
men will beat there breast
crows will abandon the nest
and we'll wonder if God's on our side

send your youngest out for supplies
send your momma out for the gun
send your cousin out for the horse in the barn
send your prayers to the hidden one.

send your brother out for a shovel
send your sister out for a pale
send your lover out for a can of beans
send the devil on back to his hell

send your neighbor out for some matches
send your daddy out for some rope
send your enemy out for an olive tree leaf
send your daughter out looking for hope..
