Ellsworth Song Lyric by John Kaniecki

Ellsworth

 

The road goes on forever

Riding till the fifth of never

Looking for my city of gold

Just another lie you told

 

Ellsworth you’re out there

Somewhere somewhere

Ellsworth you’re out there

You’re why I still believe in prayer

Ellsworth you’re out there

Somewhere somewhere

 

I believe that dreams came true

I say the day I met you

Now the sky doesn’t look so blue

What’s a poor boy to do

Except to bear all his hurt

And cry out for Ellsworth

 

Ellsworth you’re out there

Somewhere somewhere

Ellsworth you’re out there

You’re why I still believe in prayer

Ellsworth you’re out there

Somewhere somewhere

 

I ain’t got a treasure map to use

Only a handful of clever clues

In the seeking one is created

Your Love Ellsworth can’t be debated

You gave even when you were hated

You gave and the world celebrated

 

Ellsworth you’re out there

Somewhere somewhere

Ellsworth you’re out there

You’re why I still believe in prayer

Ellsworth you’re out there

Somewhere somewhere

Courage Compassion Peace

Courage Compassion Peace

By John Kaniecki

Dogs of war

Bark in the dark

Babylon the Whore

Comes with the Beast’s mark

Hatred is on the increase

But wrong is always wrong

So stay strong

Courage, compassion, peace

For all the darkness of the universe

Cannot diminish a solitary flame

And the foulest curse

Cannot rebuke a holy name

Courage is truly a light

The fortitude to do what is right
No matter what the cost

Even if all is lost

With compassion

Love’s best lesson

Can never cease

Bringing the fruit of perfect peace

Yes we can reach the sky

But only if we try

So live a life of Love

And we shall reach above

If in your life there is worth

We can bring some heaven to Earth

A Final Prayer at my Lynching

A Final Prayer at my Lynching

By John Kaniecki

My only crime the color of my skin

Look inside and see your sin

The gallows rope cuts my throat

Coarse fibers bite

I have strength scarce to fight

But please make note

God takes no pleasure in your wicked deeds

And evil never succeeds

One day your cities shall burn

One day the red man will return

And then you’ll learn

The wages of sin is death

The noose tightens cutting off all air

 I am victorious I have not one more care

Pay heed to the words of my last breath

For though my life is through

My words ring true

And as I sway in the air

Allmighty God hears my prayer

God is a God of mercy yes it is true

But God is a God of justice too

Hear the words of my final prayer

And beware

R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N

R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N

By John Kaniecki

R is for the righteousness of our fight

E is for the evil that permeates this place

V is for the victory on which we set our sight

O is for the overwhelming odds we face

L is for the love that we show one another

U is for the undeniable force we possess

T is for the talents we will discover

I is for that ignorance that we must address

O is for oppression the foulest crime

N is for now, as now is the time

Lady Hannibal

Lady Hannibal

Her voice rises loud

She is heard

Over the noisy crowd

Dark brown her smooth skin

Her word

Comes from deep within

Ancestors

Some humble, some brave

An Egyptian Pharaoh

And a galley slave

No justice no peace!

No justice no peace!!

The cries do not cease!

My blue eyes penetrate her soul

History, lessons, they guide

Lady Hannibal

I stand by her side

Bitter cold fingers numb

We speak bold

We shall overcome!

But out on the street

Without heat

We are so few

What can we do?

Lady Hannibal

Presses at my side

She flashes me a smile

My heart beats hot

And the bitterness is forgot

For a while

The tea touches the tongue

We congregate

None of us are young

We debate

Apathy, hopelessness, despair

Does anybody care?

If they do

Why are we so few?

Theories, opinions, thoughts, we exchange

The world is going to hell

We have to change, but how to break the spell?

I nibble on a cookie

Insatiable hunger

Desire does increase

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!

Lady Hannibal breaks the gloom

Chasing away vultures of doom

We hang on every syllable

Food for the soul

Her laughing lips illuminate light

“How can we fail when we are in the right?”

Ghetto defender, warrior of the street

In winter freeze drawing the heat

Lady Hannibal has crossed the line

She has embraced the oppressed

And called them mine

Angel divine,

Demon too!

All depending on your point of view

Lady Hannibal she cannot fail

Poverty, brutality, ridicule, jail

Justice is an endless quest

Righteousness rewards no rest

Battle, war, it takes it toll

Perfection is an impossible goal

So we seek to rise above

In service to Love

Lady Hannibal I admire

Lady Hannibal I desire

Even if I were blind

I am sure I would find

Your light

Her voice is not alone

Our cries

Rise to God’s throne

Father in control

Bless Lady Hannibal

Make it right
