From HERE To JUBILEEYou lie there, in opulent splendor, Watching your money, like a vulture set to dive As your computer buys and sells for you Living your life on one big, long bender, Taking the honey from the very best bee hive, Thinking your future's surely well-to-do I lie here in this card-board condo Inches above a dirty sidewalk gutter Wond'ring why I want to trade hells with you Wond'ring if I'm already gone, 'tho' I still see the dove aloft, its wings a-flutter I'd rather have this chance to tell you true: If I had one thought to share with everybody living We'd no longer mock being truly free I'd toss all I'd sought to see us care So much for giving That we'd stop the clock for a Jubilee Jubilee, singing Jubilee, You can be, you can be free Singing Jubilation, Jubilation Jubilee, singing Jubilee, It is time to heed our destiny Let us heal the nation, heal the nation You may fear I'm mistaken Fools suffer fools like nobody living can I'd rather be breaking bad spells with you When we sing of Love, Spirit awakens Tyrants cannot rule, confusing you is their plan I'd rather be ringing glad bells with you The Jubilee is celebrating life In all creation, nothing is foreign to love The beast of the number shall be tamed We shall find our way beyond the strife Healing the nations, in the spirit of the dove When we count every letter of the Name So, take a good look inside Where Love lies deeply hidden It will enable you to truly see Now, what is there left to hide That is still forbidden? Let's put it on the table, come the Jubilee Jubilee, singing Jubilee, You can be, you can be free Singing Jubilation, Jubilation Jubilee, singing Jubilee, It is time to heed our destiny Let us heal the nation, heal the nation Jubilee, singing Jubilee, You can be, you can be free Singing Jubilation, Jubilation Jubilee, singing Jubilee, It is time to heed our destiny Let us heal the nation, heal the nation, heal the nation, heal the nation. |
