Democracy

Democracy must call 
through the sand, 
the cannonballs fly 
in the wind, 
blowing to free 
a man
Sail on, sail on

Pretend 
the sky 
can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take? 
All the flowers gone 
Time passing 
The girls... all the young girls gone 
Every one, gone 
Sail on, sail on

Will we ever learn?
All the young men 
long gone
Those nights 
It’s real 
From the wards, 
from the siren, 
from the fires, 
Democracy is coming 
through a crack

Visionary on the Mount, 
pretend to understand 
the silence of the brave, 
the sorrow in the street, 
the holy places, 
to determine who will eat, 
from the wells in the desert far away
Democracy Is Coming

Sail on, sail on
To the USA
O mighty need, greed 
sail on 
to America-the best, 
they got the spiritual thirst 
in a fundamental way
Democracy is coming

The women and the men 
going to weep, 
going to shout 
Democracy 
I mean, 
I love the scene 
in that hopeless little screen. 
Those garbage bags, junk, 
still holding up 
this little democracy 
Sail on, sail on

call a white dove before 
she sleeps forever, 
washed to the sea, 
to be free
See the answer…
See the sky…
Hear people cry… 
Democracy
