John Gorka - Zuly lyrics
Your rating:
And the good earth shook the day that Jesus was reborn In Anchorage, March 27th, 1964 When He came back this time though it was as a baby girl Her parents said Her mission was the same, to save the world God looked down and said, oh the times they were a'changing I will send my only daughter as soon as I complete the staging All the land shook and rolled and split, there was no warning Except Gabriel told the mom She'd arrive Good Friday morning And so it came to pass that Her parents called Her Zuly A bright and happy child, also willful and unruly The birds would come and visit Her, they wished they could take Her with them Then they left their roosts for winter, She would always miss them Zuly won a scholarship though classes mostly bored her She loved the other students though and the teachers all adored her "We learned more from Her" they said, "than we could ever teach Her But there were times when we just could not reach Her" She said we are here to love each other, that is all And organized religion that's comparatively small Not that I don't love all those so-called holy ones But why are there so few daughters among the leaders of My sons? Now She runs a charter boat in Resurrection Bay She takes tourists to see the wild creatures every summers day In fall She teaches bush kids at the boarding school in Sitka On those long December nights She is the light of winter
