Lyrical Thought #54

We've Got to Get Out of This Place

Animals


In this dirty old part of the city where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true,
You'll be dead before your time is due, (I know)

Watch my daddy in bed and dying
Watch his hair been turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away, (Oh yes I know)

He's been working so hard
I've been working too baby, (every night and day)

(Chorus)
We've gotta get out of this place
if it's the last thing we ever do
We've gotta get out of this place
Girl there's a better life for me and you

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, (I know it)

Watch my daddy in bed and dying
Watch his hair been turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away (I know)

He's been working so hard
I've been working too baby,

(Chorus)

Somewhere baby
Somehow I know it baby

(Chorus)

Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too

It Might Be ...

Yeah!

Today at Mass I was sitting behind a young family with a 1-2 year old daughter. At communion time we were singing The Cry of the Poor by Fr. John Foley, SJ. When the song ended (with the refrain "The Lord hears the cry of the poor, blessed be the poor," the little girl smiled from ear to ear, clapped and then threw up her arms and said "Yeah!" Now if we could just all be that excited about God and religion.

This was more poignant today because Father spoke in his homily about the difference between the Jewish tradition of keeping the entire Sabbath for God versus our modern day where we find it a struggle to give up an hour for Mass. What will it take to get us to pay more attention to God and no the clock in the back of the church?

It could be...

Lyrical Thought #53

Turn, Turn, Turn

The Byrds

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear its not too late
