lyrics

Brother, what is your reason?
Are you searching for a new season?
The crops which you have grown
The seeds that you have sown
All is vanity and death

History it says, "Don't hope on this side of the grave."
But new life and new justice comes just like a tidal wave

Our Mother's rain brings redemption
Like dew on grass, daily given
While we take with no returns
She grieves, and oh, she yearns
For a day when all is new

Our Father's grace brings exemption
And from his hand comes new creation
All the weary and forlorn
All the broken and the torn
Come and drink, taste and see
