Shawn Phillips - January First lyrics
Your rating:
I'll sing you a song of the deepest blue, if you tell me all the colors that you see in the human hue I'll sing you a song of the brightest hope, if you show me a man who's reassured that he can cope I'll sing you a song of beige and livid green, if you show me an earth that is slowly getting clean And I'll raise your spirit higher, make you tremble with delight, if you lay down all your weapons, if you make the truth your fight Lay down all your weapons, if you make the truth your fight If you make the truth your soulmate, keep it with you all heaven's clime If you talk to me of atom bombs, if you explain what they are for, I'll sing you all the songs I know about a world I see at war A war that's greatly based on fear that's the only way they'll work, authority and governments they hide behind their smirk For they think that you don't know it yet they think you're not aware, that the potential of the human soul lies just in human care So won't you sing this silly song with me, come and give me a gift, we all are one in life and love, we all provide the lift
