lyrics and music by Brad Pouleson
copyright 2019

I speak no tongues
I bring no prophecy
Came down from the mountain
I saw no burning bush

I can’t heal lepers
But I will not yield to you
Nor render up my dreams
Even if they’re falling down
Like pennies from heaven

I can’t stop time
Or make you fall in line
But I hope that we can find
Some understanding

For I belong
And so we all belong
To the same mother we were born
In the same place we call home…
So don’t you forget it!

So summon forth your angels
Summon forth your demons too
Burn the words from your books like fire
Into your brothers

And I’ll summon forth my courage
Summon forth my reason too
‘Cos I’ve reason to believe that we all need
To live our own way

Got no use for prayer
No big man over me
Just a deep blue sky
Above my dreaming head

Got no use for hate
But I’d like to make you see
The things that bother me
In the silence of the night…
I wonder if you’d get it

Now you raise your hands in the air
And you raise your voice
And you scream at us sinners
And like the Red Sea, divide us

But I too can call out
And speak my testament
Battle back your fear
And proclaim a sweet compassion…
That you will not feel

So summon forth your angels
Summon forth your demons too
Burn the words from your books like fire
Into your brothers

And I’ll summon forth my courage
Summon forth my reason too
‘Cos I’ve reason to believe that we all need
To live our own way
