Bennet’s Song

Bennet’s Song

 

Maplewood New Jersey sun on the rise                     

News on the radio full of lies                                     

Warming the coffee eyes so weary                            

Even the blind can see things clearly                         

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

 

What the world needs is old fashion wisdom

Love will conquer materialism

But slogans are empty without deeds

We have to share and meet all our needs

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

 

Lessons of history let them guide our song

Together as one we become strong

So pick your heroes wisely my friend

Life is a race you run till the end

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

 

Soldier of fortune battle on no more

Embrace the peace come accept the cure

The time for killing to end has come

To achieve peace we shall live as one

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

Riding For Freedom

Riding For Freedom

 

Living in a one-room shack with a bathroom out back

The world was divided between white and black

It seemed forever we were under attack

Living in a one-room shack with a bathroom out back

 

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

What else was there to do?

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

All I could do was think about you

 

Lead Belly sung the blues about Mississippi Rivers

One too many martyrs I’m missing Medgar Evers

Freedom is easy to say but it’s bought with blood

One day good sir these rivers are going to flood

 

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

What else was there to do?

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

All I could do was think about you

 

The good die young unless God got a special plan

Children can’t help to grow into a woman or man

Why do they always forget the life of the young?

Like signing a song forgetting the verses sung

 

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

What else was there to do?

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

All I could do was think about you

 

We fell in love against impossible odds

They’ll never make it so said the gods

But Love has a mind of its own

And Love is the finest thing known

 

So here the story ends but there’s much more to write

One day the darkness will be turned into light

Jesus was crucified but the tomb is empty today

I’m still riding and I’ll be riding no matter what they say

 

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

What else was there to do?

I was heading for Jackson riding for freedom

All I could do was think about you
