Into the Wind

about

A prayer song for Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement.

lyrics

So here we go – round for another spin
Another day, another year, another poem begins,
Another vote, don’t know who really loses or wins,
Another open mic, another changing of the seasons,
Another protest over a grotesque
killing, Lord, when will my soul rest, feeling
like a people still lost in the desert, just wanderin
following a star in the dark, keep fallin, yea
but we still gotta walk out the door,
got a lot to give thanks for – It’s Yom Kippur,
got a lot to atone, lookin at my pride,
got an ambitious side that’s never satisfied,
got a stubborn bone, got an unchecked phone,
got those moments when I curse you all alone,
but today I’ll fast, and give up Jah praise
take a walk by the water, let it wash away –

Unto Thee, O, Lord, do I lift up my soul
O, my God, in Thee have I trusted,
let me not be ashamed
let not mine enemies triumph over me, yea
none that wait for Thee
will be ashamed

So I atone, go on and let shit go
take my sin to the river and just let it flow
I gotta dig down, deep into my soul
go on and throw my life into the only thing I know
gotta roll with the water, gotta ride the waves,
got a home to build, got a world to save,
got a city to fight for on a rich great lake,
gotta drink that water for the next seven generations,
and it’s sacred, and they desecratin’ it,
and it’s ancient, yea, we on the same shit:
hatred, slave ships, trade bids, racists,
Standing Rock, they still killing off the natives,
Teachers strike, ain’t no pay for them or they kids
Feelin like, we gotta wake up from the Matrix,
but I think we’re gonna win, so I’ll be patient,
and forgive, turn my face into the wind, and sing:

Unto Thee, O, Lord, do I lift up my soul
O, my God, in Thee have I trusted,
let me not be ashamed
let not mine enemies triumph over me, yea
none that wait for Thee
will be ashamed*
