sons of the wandering - joseph huber lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
sorry friend, but i’ve got no answers for you
truth is i’ve never been sure about a thing
but it seems this turnin’ world can tempt you
only to leave you with the same blue
and a jeweled crown soon found a hollow ring

[verse 2]
and these hawks flying so high above the highway
are suggesting higher courses for you and me
but on their feathers dries the fair share
of others blood it takes to get there
so far beyond a distance we can see

[chorus]
and as the center slowly breaks
they’ll split the dice that heaven shakes
into those who make and those who take;
into those who lie, and those who’ll pay for the sin
and from a head without an ear, new rank and file appear;
strange new pioneers; the sons of the wandering

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
well, the boys down at 139 are lookin’ to deliver
while the governor’s out “divide and conquering”
one more arrow in the quiver to make a working man just shiver
and leave a nation on the sidelines wondering

[chorus]
“what’s a soul left to do
when one or two with silver spoons, and a million gilded rooms
point the finger at a million hanging on a string?”
leading all their lives in flight; cloud by day and fire by night
won’t you leave a light for the sons of the wandering?

[instrumental]

[chorus]
the more money in the race, the more the mask becomes the face
and truth can’t hold pace with thundering
but, me, i’ve long laid my claim where silence strikes a note of pain
here out in the rain with sons of the wandering

[chorus]
the years have made my place singing to heal a dying race
and friend, how a well-worn spirit sings;
while the derby women sing hymns to lords of everything
me, i’ll sing to the sons of the wandering
i’ll sing the songs of the sons of the wandering
