Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder

Life is cheap

Makes me wonder

How you sleep

 

We ruled the plains

Before the trains

Hunted Buffalo

Lived to share

Came to know

God in care

 

More and more your lust does abound

Pollute the skies violate the ground

A road to a destination known well

Hell

 

Yellow Thunder

Six feet under

Still his cries

Electrifies

Our soul

 

You stole our land

With wicked hand

Your tongues still lie

And we defy

Your control

 

Our Great Spirit lives

Wisdom a gift he gives

Wisdom to perceive

Wisdom to believe

Your vain and futile path

Will be repaid with wrath

 

The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria

Ships numbered three

Once more they shall sail the sea

For the land will be purged by fire

And you shall bow to our desire

You cities, roads, intrusions, no more

Burned Babylon the Whore

And on those ships you shall return

Where you go is not our concern

 

And Yellow Thunder will rock the Earth

And Yellow Thunder shall know rebirth

As countless drops of endless rain

Wash away the bitter stain

Soothing relief from the pain

Our land shall be our land again

Perfect, Pristine, Pure

And Yellow Thunder shall walk once more

Mumia

Mumia

Mumia lives in a place that should not exist

A result of a mockery they call a trial

The world proclaims injustice, many insist

Still the system is in defiant denial

I do not glory in the death of any man

Yet how much can we take?

We rise against oppression to do the best we can

Day after day you inflict us with your lies

The cause for justice we will never forsake

Allmighty God, He hears our cries

Allmighty God, Him you cannot fool

Or shut him out with your actions cruel

 

So Mumia lives, three stone walls and an iron gate

These are the manifestations of America’s hate

When you want us to kill for the flag we are brothers all

Come serve your country that is the call

And in return you make us sit and wait

Herded in your ghettos you try to educate

And when we act on the lessons you teach

When we speak our mind and practice free speech

You send in the police, the FBI and CIA

And heroes like Mumia are taken away

 

An honest day in court

Is what we require

That would retort

And quench this fire

 

Instead Mumia sits condemned on death row

In a tormented existence that few do know

A political prisoner an unwilling symbol

You can bind the man but not the soul

Mumia these words I write

And promise never to give up the fight

Here You Go Ben

Here You Go Ben

 

The hot sun is yellow and the sky a perfect blue

Our special star giving kisses saying I love you

We are all beautiful and everyone is a gift

There you go hitchhiker let me give you a lift

 

Here you go Ben the trains running again

God Loves you can I get an amen

I love you now just like I loved you then

Here you go Ben the trains running again

 

See the midnight heavens the stars are shining bright

I’m here by your side holding you tight

There are a lot of things in the world that just ain’t right

But we ain’t giving in Ben we’re gonna fight

 

Here you go Ben the trains running again

God Loves you can I get an amen

I love you now just like I loved you then

Here you go Ben the trains running again

 

I left sugar mountain you know it wasn’t so sweet

Forever on the roam my only home was the street

See the cool kids smoking joking laughing away

When you toss the dice sometimes you gotta pay

 

Here you go Ben the trains running again

God Loves you can I get an amen

I love you now just like I loved you then

Here you go Ben the trains running again

 

In life there are lessons to understand

We get dealt the cards only one hand

I wish I was a singer in a rock and roll band

But today folk music ain’t even in demand

 

See all the losers lost in their martini escape

Their life of misery is an endless repeating tape

But Ben I have some mighty dreams just for you

Here you go Ben sometimes dreams come true

 

Here you go Ben the trains running again

God Loves you can I get an amen

I love you now just like I loved you then

Here you go Ben the trains running again
