[00:31]I bless you madly,
[00:35]sadly as I tie my shoes
[00:39]I love you badly,
[00:42]Just in time, at times, I guess
[00:50]Because of you I need to rest
[00:56]Because it's you that sets the test
[01:04]So much has gone and little is new
[01:11]And as the sparrow sings
[01:17]Dawn chorus for
[01:21]Someone else to hear
[01:26]The Thinker sits alone growing older
[01:37]And so bitter
[01:41]"I gave Them life
[01:43]I gave Them all
[01:46]They drained my very soul
[01:48]...dry
[01:52]I crushed my heart to ease their pains
[01:55]No thought for me remains there
[02:01]Nothing can They spare
[02:04]What of me?
[02:09]Who praised their efforts to be free?
[02:15]Words of strength and care and sympathy
[02:23]I opened doors that would have blocked their way
[02:29]I braved their cause to guide, for little pay
[02:37]I ravaged at my finance just for those
[02:43]Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
[02:51]Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
[02:57]Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me"
[03:17]I bless you madly,
[03:20]sadly as I tie my shoes
[03:25]I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
[03:35]Because of you I need to rest, oh yes
[03:44]Because it's you that sets the test
[03:49]So much has gone and little is new
[03:57]And as the sunrise stream
[04:04]Flickers on me,
[04:10]My friends talk
[04:12]Of glory, untold dream,
[04:18]where all is God and God is just a word
[04:28]"We had a friend, a talking man
[04:32]Who spoke of many powers that he had
[04:39]Not of the best of men, but Ours
[04:42]We used him
[04:44]We let him use his powers
[04:49]We let him fill Our needs
[04:52]Now We are strong
[04:56]And the road is coming to its end
[05:03]Now the damned have no time to make amends
[05:10]No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
[05:17]The silent guns of love will blast the sky
[05:24]We broke the ruptured structure built of age
[05:31]Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
[05:38]Where money stood
[05:40]We planted seeds of rebirth
[05:45]And stabbed the backs of fathers
[05:49]Sons of dirt
[05:52]Infiltrated business cesspools
[05:55]Hating through Our sleeves
[05:59]Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
[06:02]Stoned the poor on slogans such as
[06:05]'Wish You Could Hear'
[06:06]'Love Is All We Need'
[06:08]'Kick Out The Jams'
[06:10]'Kick Out Your Mother'
[06:12]'Cut Up Your Friend'
[06:14]'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End'
[06:18]And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
[06:26]And We Can Force You to Be Free
[06:30]And We Can Force You to Believe"
[06:36]And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
[06:39]For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
[06:43]For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain
[06:47]It said:
[06:48]"I believe in the Power of Good
[06:52]I Believe in the State of Love
[06:55]I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
[06:58]I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right"
[07:05]And I open my eyes to look around
[07:10]And I see a child laid slain on the ground
[07:17]As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
[07:24]Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
[07:30]But not hearing anymore
[07:33]Not hearing anymore
[07:40]Just the shrieks from the old rich
[07:48]And I Want to Believe
[07:52]In the madness that calls 'Now'
[07:56]And I want to Believe
[07:59]That a light's shining through
[08:01]Somehow
[08:02]And I Want to Believe
[08:06]And You Want to Believe
[08:09]And We Want to Believe
[08:12]And We Want to Live
[08:16]Oh, We Want to Live
[08:20]We Want to Live
[08:40]I want to live
[09:02]Live
