lyrics

Walking down the city streets in spring
With a good book and a guitar in my hands
I can feel the little worms singing
Mother Earth in jubilee: “This is our land!”
Even as the soldiers are warring
Even as the politicians sell their lies
Every day we’re writing new stories
as the old world dies…

It was Easter Sunday in Chi-town
Everywhere were signs for “Chuy” or for Rahm
And I wonder how Jesus would fight now
If he could see how deep we’re in Babylon
But I feel the call of a new earth
I can hear it breathing in my quiet hours
And I don’t think tyrants can stop it
anymore than flowers…

Cuz April’s always right on time!
And the rain comes down and the crocuses sprout
And there’s a bright blue sky
Over the cities rushing
And robins fly
And the future rises in us in the tides
And as the days go by
Though we sigh, hope never dies...

And I don’t care much about money
But I’m working for the future all day long
And I love a woman who loves me
And we’re warriors together, fighting strong
So no matter whatever happens
I have to believe that in the end we’ll win
Even all their nuclear weapons
still can’t kill seasons

Cuz May is always right on time!
And the wind blows cool & magnolias blooms
And there’s a bright blue sky!
Over the highways choking
And bees still fly
And we make the world with our hearts and our minds
And as the days go by
None of them can stop the time!

And June is always right on time!
And the sunlight beams & the fireflies gleam
And there’s a bright blue sky!
Over the world dying
But still alive
And there’s so many good people I find
And as the days go by
God help me, I love my life!
