She Cries And Sings

Martin Sexton

Arise and start. We had our orders then

Carry this message through

And through the days. Of barren passages

The message reached the land

Another day another dollar

Another footprint in the sand

Another drop of rain to swallow

Another bird set from my hand

She cries and sings. Of all the good things

Of a promised land

She cries and sings

Without our faith. It's mere coincidence

It's just a hungry bird of prey

But in her eyes. And in her confidence

A thousand generations say

Another day another dollar

Another footprint in the sand

Another drop of rain to swallow

Another bird set from my hand

She cries and sings. Of all the good things

Like the good of man

She cries and sings
