lyrics

Bring Down the Worthless Day

Bring down the worthless day
Let its heart be washed away
May the sadness of things and the wrong and the rain
Be lost in the ground with the past and the pain
For the future is here with us now
It’s here with us now

Drink in the sweet red wine
See the light that’s down the line
Close your eyes breathe in the air
Soon you’ll see that spring is here
Let not the bottom line
Be a thing to count as mine
With the numbers of nothings, and losing and losses
May idiots hush and the reasonless bosses
And the ignorant voices be gone
All the voices be gone

No longer the wisdom of empty men
No longer the words of an empty pen
Time for real words and actions
No more factions or reactions born in hate or fear
The future is near

I’m getting younger I can see
I’ve been the oldest I can be
A lot of ways I know how to die
But now it’s time to be alive
Will of God be nearer still
I’ve got no heart to climb the hill
now the people must stand and walk hand in hand
To sing out the song the for the weak and the banned
For the poor ones are here with us still
They’re here with us still

No longer the wisdom of empty men
No longer the words of an empty pen
We’re stronger when reason is in our mind
Look deeper you never know what you’ll find
Time for real words and actions
I’ve got no time for these distractions
No more factions or reactions born in hate or fear
The future is near
