Shawn Phillips January First
I'll sing you a song of the deepest blue, if you tell me
all the colors that you see in the human hue
I'll sing you a song of the brightest hope, if you show
me a man who's reassured that he can cope
I'll sing you a song of beige and livid green, if you
show me an earth that is slowly getting clean
And I'll raise your spirit higher, make you tremble with
delight, if you lay down all your weapons, if you make
the truth your fight
Lay down all your weapons, if you make the truth your
fight
If you make the truth your soulmate, keep it with you all
the time, then by the grace of God inside, you'll live in
heaven's clime
If you talk to me of atom bombs, if you explain what they
are for, I'll sing you all the songs I know about a world
I see at war
A war that's greatly based on fear that's the only way
they'll work, authority and governments they hide behind
their smirk
For they think that you don't know it yet they think
you're not aware, that the potential of the human soul
lies just in human care
So won't you sing this silly song with me, come and give
me a gift, we all are one in life and love, we all
provide the lift
