I woke up in the scream, dreaming in the dream
So deep asleep, I had to wake up
My scar's a lucky charm, you wrote it on my arm
The past and me have got to break up
Go!

I'm blanking everything, my soul was made to sing
Now there's nothing you can bring to Heaven
Heaven's right here every time that you appear
Three, six, five, two, four, seven
Go!

Carnaval de luz
Go!
Carnaval de luz
Carnaval de luz
Don't want to find myself, gonna lose myself in you

Welcome to tonight, a carnival of light
Illumination is the way to fight this
I've had it with the fear, can't believe I made it here
Came to find the other people who feel like this
Go!

Carnaval de luz
Carnaval de luz
Carnaval de luz
Don't want to find myself, wanna lose myself in you

Barefoot in a dress that her mother made
Riches to rags in a silent storm
She's the face of God
A lightning rod in female form

Heaven out of hell, ringing the church bell
No one will tell her fortune and get paid
Oh, mama-mama
She knows it's a masquerade

Let's hear it one more time
For the face of the future
Let's hear it one more time
Allow me to introduce her

La reina
La reina
Oh, la reina
La reina
Oh, la reina
La reina

Spray on gold with a plastic crown
Lèse-majesté on walk about
Sing'a'ling along the reggaeton
Spin it back

Royalty as she makes her way
We the people have decided that it's she who reigns
Oh, rama-lama, we're in her train
We've got her back

Let's hear it one more time
For the face of the future
Let's hear it one more time
Allow me to introduce her

La reina
Oh, la reina
La reina
Oh, la reina
La reina
Oh, la reina
La reina

Hey, you, it's all so true
The mask is really you
Everyone else too
And if you're out there in the crowd
You're scared of what you feel
And all you can't conceal
Here comes the big reveal

No, nobody is alone
But nobody knows that
Everyone is on their own
Everybody knows that
No, nobody is alone
But nobody knows that
Everyone is on their own
Everybody knows that
No, nobody is alone
But nobody knows that
Allow me to introduce her

Oh, la reina

God, hear me shout
Lend Your ear to my prayer
When I'm far from anywhere
Down to my last breath of air
God, hear me shout
Lend Your ear to my prayer
When I'm far from anywhere
Down to my last breath of air

La calle, calle de los sueños
All the doors are open on the street of dreams
La calle, calle de los sueños
Broken are the chosen on the street of dreams

Be here
Be free
Be yourself
And then free me
Your fate? (Gonna fight it)
Your trust? (Won't be denied)
This bus? (Gonna ride it)
To the street of dreams

La calle, calle de los sueños
Justice, an obsession on the street of dreams
La calle, calle de los sueños
Love in a procession down the street of dreams

Break out
Break through
Break in
Your dream needs you
Your life? (Gonna find you)
Your fear? (Not gonna blind you)
Random angels? (Gonna guide you)
To the street of dreams

La calle, calle de los sueños
All the doors are open on the street of dreams
La calle, calle de los sueños
Broken are the chosen on the street of dreams

Don't you give up on your dreams
For the many and not just the few
Don't you give up, and your dreams
Won't give up on you

La calle, calle de los sueños
Justice, an obsession on the street of dreams
La calle, calle de los sueños
Love in a procession down the street of dreams

God, hear me shout
Lend Your ear to my prayer
When I'm far from anywhere
Down to my last breath of air

"Solo, solo
El misterio
Nos hace vivir
Solo el misterio"

A mirror maker sets out to trap light
Illuminator, silver inside
Break the glass, what could possibly go wrong?
Stubbornly in the service of her song
Silver girl, let me sing along

For all the voices never heard
For all they'll never sing or say
For all the dreams damned in a girl

Rosalía, la olé
Rosalía, who are ya?
Rosalía
Rosalía, ma-ma-lady-day
Rosalía, who are ya?
Rosalía
In your dancing we learn how to pray
Rosa, Rosa, Rosalía, make the world go away

Pura vida
We are not the pure life
Saint Cecilia
Pray for us tonight
Break the glass, what could possibly go wrong?
Music makes us up as we go along
Silver girl, let me sing along

For all the voices never heard
For all they'll never sing or say
For all the dreams damned in a girl

Rosalía, la olé
Rosalía, who are ya?
Rosalía
Rosalía, ma-ma-lady-day
Rosalía, who are ya?
Rosalía
In your dancing we learn how to pray
Rosa, Rosa, Rosalía, make the world go away

Make a sunrise from sunset
Refusing all regret
Make me remember what's so easy to forget
Oh, oh, oh
As the strobe light starry heavens swirl
The re-enchantment of the world

When I was in that hall of mirrors
I could only see my own face
You can hate yourself, but I let it pass
I didn't know what you know
In case of an emergency, break the glass
In case of emergency, break the glass
And go through the mirror

Rosalía, who are ya?
Rosalía
Rosalía, la-la-lady-day
Rosalía, who are ya?
Rosalía
In your dancing we learn how to pray
Rosa, Rosa, Rosalía, make the world go away

No such thing as gravity
In the air is where we'll be found
No such thing as insanity
Where insanity is all over town
You and me are breaking news
Because the news can't break us
That don't make us superficial
Serious is what that makes us

Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I have around you
Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I never knew

No such thing as equality
We all know we're better than that
No upper hand on morality
For the love of God
Please, will you stop that?
We're a one-hit wonder, baby
Is that superficiality?
Maybe that is hard for you
It's not so difficult for me

Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I have around you
Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I never knew
Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I have around you
Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I never knew

Ah-ha

We're a one-hit wonder, baby
Superficiality
I guess it's hard for our serious friends
But not so difficult for me

'Cause
Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I have around you
Freedom is a feeling
It's a feeling that I never knew

No such thing as rock and roll
We just needed it to be
I was standing in the schoolyard
Waiting for you to happen to me
No such thing as a small life
You can't measure time in years
Every life gigantic, huge and romantic
Even greater than it appears

I wanna speak to the spirit
You can feel it, but you can't fear it
Be ye kings or queens or emperors of despair
We're not arguing the toss
We got some words for your boss
We're speaking to who speaks through you
To the prince of the power of the air

All these shimmers and these glimmers
Mirrors that must crack
All the neon-fizzing flickers
We're grateful for some of that
The fiction of a nation
The stories we don't tell
We need the light of illumination
So you can go right back to hell

If the world is at war
We better not be
If the world is at war
We better not be

Some lights are trying to blind us
Some wanna help us see
Some truths are trying to find us
Some lies won't let us be

No such thing as certainty
But I sing this without a doubt
A light has entered the darkness
No darkness can put it out

There's a quiet where a baby doesn't cry (Tranquilo)
There's a hush where a mother might sigh
Mary Mama, angel offered her a choice (Sereno)
"My son is listening if you got no voice"
Uneasy feeling, I just heard a gunshot (Silencio)
There are things you can get used to or not
A thief at large in a carnival of souls
In the silence, the devil rock and rolls

Silencio, silencio
Silencio, silencio
Where did our love go?
Hey, Jesus of Rio
It's when I'm with you, I miss you the most
It's when I'm with you, I miss you the most

There's a quiet where 
you hear the ocean's roll (Tranquilo)
There's a hush where you can hear another soul
Invocation, exaltation is the goal (Amigo)
There's a whisper where the mystery unfolds
There's a quiet sayin', 
"Shut your fuckin' mouth" (Silencio)
There's a diet sayin', "Spit it fuckin' out"
Pepper sprayin', 
church is playing crowd control (Control)
In the silence is the devil's rock and roll

Silencio, silencio
Silencio, silencio
Where did our love go?
Hey, Jesus of Rio
It's when I'm with you, I miss you the most
It's when I'm with you, I miss you the most

Dressed like a devil but tonight you're the host
Of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
Campo de Cristo de silencio, shh

If I couldn't sing
How love's the hardest easy thing
And if I couldn't sing you my life
Hiding here in the spotlight
And if you couldn't hear me
If I couldn't feel
If I couldn't feel your touch again
When nerve ends fray
And there's nothing to say
Not even a prayer
It's a beautiful night somewhere

Oh oh
If I couldn't say it now
Tell me how
If this is love and love is all we've got
You can show me what it is
I can show you what it's not
If this is love, don't act surprised when you get hurt
Even if our dreams lay in the dirt
We were once the greatest show on earth

Is that a smile or a tear?
Is it all show business here?
The cinema that is stained glass
You're at the altar at our wedding mass
Is this a church of love or fear?
Have we made God feel like a stranger here?

Oh oh
Say it now
Tell me how
If this is love and love is all we've got
You can show me what it is
I can show you what it's not
If this is love, we make cathedrals of our hurt
People digging their dreams out of the dirt
We were once the greatest show on earth

Love is a business that works at night
I sold myself for less than was right
You taught me what I was worth
In the greatest show on earth
Made a profession out of breaking your heart
You call it lies, I call it art
I was some of your best work
We were once the greatest show on earth
Love is a business you shouldn't trust
Breathe on me and I'm love and I'm lust
Forever or a flirt?
The greatest show on earth
The light scatters, things can get worse
These dark matters of the universe
Could not compete with us
We were once the greatest show on earth

As the heavens fall, baby, don't we all?

So let your heart be full, expect a miracle
They're looking for you to glorify, glorify

Can you see me?
No?
When did I disappear?
Can you hear me?
No?
What is it that you don't want to hear?

People cry against the light
That we're sisters and brothers
We're made for each other, you and I
'Cause we're made from each other

Time to take cover
Yeah
In your bedroom or a bunker
Yeah
In the dark we discover
Midnight sunshine

I got a feeling like we're losing, but it feels like a win
Here on the ceiling, watching more

You can move, but always keep the same address
One eighty thousand miles per 
hour more or less we move

Yeah
Time to take cover

In your bedroom or a bunker
Yeah

Your heart is breaking now in ways 
you never knew that it could
On a small screen you discovered not all people are good
That's not such a surprise to me
That's why your friendship's such a prize for me

Sing me a song like a boxing glove
Don't sing me a love song
Sing me a song that the world is afraid of
Don't sing me a love song
And if you're mad at this world 
and you've had enough
Don't give up, no
In the imagination of God we are all made up

Catastrophising is 
the glamorising of the world's pain
Don't want to make a devil bigger, 
stop repeating his name
You say God no longer cares for us
I say the stars are only there for us

To shine (Shine)
We're midnight sunshine

Smell the coffee, taste the rum
And to each other learn to bow
Open your lips, swallow the sun
Throw a revolution now
Oh, would anybody come?
Well, maybe if it was just for one

I see the tree in a tangle of vines
Let's keep each other close
Let's sharpen each other's lines
Hotel Ambos Mundos
"My daiquiri at the Floridita
My mojito at the Bodeguita"

Can't stop us now
Nothing can stop us now
Can't stop us now
Nothing can stop us
Nothing can stop us now

I see a summer down the road
Of songs and a silver sea
Where the rainbow refuses the gold
And that's revolutionary
Where the problems can't be solved
Are left a mystery
Why the leaf won't leave the branch
'Til the branch becomes the tree

Can't stop us now
Nothing can stop us now
Can't stop us now
Nothing can stop us
Nothing can stop us now

Ooh
Oh
Oh

Can't stop us now (All of us are better

Can't stop us now (All of us are better

I can't deny this passion and desire
But I know it has to burn me
Standing this close to the fire
What am I supposed to do?
And how am I supposed to choose?
I love 'em both and I just feel so torn
I love 'em both and I just feel so torn

The glass that frames the picture cracked like ice
The photograph remembers all that we now deny
When halfway seems too far to meet
And across the table too hard to reach
Apples falling from the same tree can roll

Torn apart these loving hearts
That beat and break the same
We share a house divided
And the blood that fills our veins
Brothers turn to strangers
And sons deny their name
Somebody loses either way
And every heart is torn

Torn, torn, torn, torn
Torn, torn
Every heart is torn

Hands that used to hold you clenched in fists
Words that used to soothe you cut you into bits
Are you your brother's keeper now?
Or know what you're fighting for?
Nothing hurts a mother more than a family at war

Torn apart these loving hearts
That beat and break the same
We share a house divided
And the blood that fills our veins
When brothers turn to strangers
And can't feel each other's pain
Somebody loses either way
And every heart is torn

Torn, torn, torn, torn
Torn, torn, torn
Every heart is torn

Every heart is torn
Every heart is torn
Torn, torn, torn, torn
Torn, torn, torn
Every heart is torn

You have the right to remain silent
Or not

God above a mother's love
A guiding hand to pick you up
To crush her like a coffee cup
Why?
Crossing guard or yellow bus
Our children teach us who to trust
The worst can't kill what's best in us
But they can try

America will rise
Against the people of the lie

I love you more
Than hate loves war
I love you more
Than hate loves war
War, war

War, war
We love you more
War, war
Than hate loves war

Renée Good, born to die free
American mother of three
Seventh day, January
A bullet for each child, you see
The colour of her eye
Nine-thirty, Minneapolis
To desecrate domestic bliss
Three bullets blast, three babies kissed
Renée the "domestic terrorist"
Well, what you can't kill can't die

America will rise
Against the people of the lie

I love you more
Than hate loves war
I love you more
Than hate loves war, war
War, war

We love you more
War, war
Than hate loves war

I am not mad at you, Lord
You're the reason I was there
Could you stop a heart from breaking
By having it not care?
Could you stop a bullet in mid-air?

The power of the people is so much stronger
Than the people in power
The power of the people is so much stronger
Than the people in power
The power of the people is so much stronger
Than the people in power
In the streets with children playing
In the churches where they're praying
School teachers are explaining
America, America
The power of the people!

We love you more (We say, we say, we say)
Than hate loves war
I love you more (I say, I say)
Than hate loves war

There's no start to this story
And I can see no end
Two young men hearing voices
Whisper in the wind
I woke up made of marble
A shepherd boy in shock
Michelangelo release me
From a single block
I'm David the giant killer
With heart-shaped eyes
I was naked as a soldier
Far from my mother's cries

Oh, the tears of things
The tears of things
Rising like a flood
The tears of things
The tears of things
I'd cry them if I could

Was it you, Lord, I was listening to?
You didn't say much
You said, "Let my fingers form you
Be fashioned by my touch
Be open to be broken
As every heart that sings
No voice and drum can overcome
A symphony of strings"
Said you'd make of me an instrument
For melody and word
I wonder as I fall asunder
Was it really you I heard?

Or the tears of things
The tears of things
Songs made out of rain
The tears of things
The tears of things
Here we go again

Mussolini came to see me
A shadow by his side
Church bells ring, a vanishing
Then the vanishing denied
Six million voices silenced in just four years
The silent song of Christendom
So loud everybody hears
Before the roar, before the blast
The stench and shame
There's a howling, wailing sound
That screams your name
I'm David, not Goliath, I was born in Bethlehem
Now there is no us if there is no them
My eyes were burned from all I learned
There were things I can't unsee
In this, your holy war
There's nothing holy here for me

More the tears of things
The tears of things
Rising like a flood
The tears of things
The tears of things
I'd cry them if I could

If you put a man into a cage and rattle it enough
A man becomes the kind of rage that cannot be locked up
No, it cannot be locked up
No, it cannot be locked up
Dear God, you made us so you wouldn't be alone
Every heart is exiled until a heart gets home
Don't send us back to stone
Don't send us back to stone

Yeah, I was made for worship, before I spoke, I sang
Songs of grief, of disbelief
How a woman can love a man
The naked song, the sacred song
That every soldier fears
'Cause when people go around talking to God
It always ends in tears

Yeah, the tears of things
The tears of things
Let the desert be unfrozen
The tears of things
The river sings
Who would choose to be chosen?

River, sea and mountain
Desert, dust and snow
Everybody is my people
Let my people go

The future, as everyone knows
Is where we're gonna be spending the rest of our life
Who said the future is closed?
Never saw the promise in her eyes

And I'm running my mouth off
Running my mouth off
It's not poetry
And I'm running my mouth off again

Sarina, Sarina
She's the song of the future
Playing in my mind
Gotta know, gotta find a way to get to her
She's holding up the sign
All alone
All alone

Yeah, we're not alone

All the classroom prophets gone to ground
Schoolgirl says, "Everyone knows
Love is a verb and not a noun"
Or so it seems
It has me running my mouth off
Running my mouth off
It's not poetry
But I'm running my mouth off again

Sarina, Sarina
She's the song of the future
Playing in my mind
Gotta know, gotta find a way to get to her
She's holding up the sign
All alone
All alone

Yeah, we're not alone

Not the peace of a cease-fire
Not even the vision of the wolf and the lamb
But rather
As in the heart when the excitement is over
And you can talk about a great weariness
I know that I know how to kill
That makes me an adult
And my son plays with a toy gun that knows
How to open and close its eyes and say Mama
A peace
Without the big noise of beating 
swords into ploughshares
Without words
Without the thud of the heavy rubber stamp:
Let it be light, floating, like lazy white foam
A little rest for the wounds—
Who speaks of healing?
And the howl of the orphans is passed
From one generation to the next
As in a relay race
The baton never falls
Let it come
Like wildflowers
Suddenly, because the field
Must have it: wildpeace

How much is enough?
You can screw or fix things up
The world will align
One life at a time
One life at a time
One life
One life
One life at a time

Look around
What you see depends on where you stand
How you fall depends on where you land
What you know is more than you've been told
What you're feeling shapes all you see
To find the map and lose the territory
Is our story

You say you wanna save the world
Well, how you gonna get that right?
You say you wanna save the world tonight
You say you wanna save the world
And perfect love drives out all fear
Well, how's that gonna happen here?
How's it gonna happen here?

One life
One life at a time
At a time
One life
No crime?
No crime?

Look around
What you have depends on what you hold
What you buy is what you're being sold
How you hope depends on what you dream
What you imagine is your destiny
What you forget might set your spirit free
To be the changes that have to be

A heart that listens is a mind that grows
Time doesn't pass, it waits in place
Until it meets you face to face
A peaceful place is never still
The faith to crawl up every hill
Every hill

You say you wanna save the world
Well, how you gonna get that right?
You say you wanna save the world tonight
You say you wanna save the world
And perfect love drives out all fear
Well, how's that gonna happen here?
How's it gonna happen here?

One life
One life at a time
At a time
If there's no law, is there no crime?
No crime?

Don't sleep
Don't even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be

Forget
Whatever doesn't fit
Regret
Regret none of it
Don't bet
On getting rid of me
Yours eternally

Dearest friends or whatever
We are calling ourselves these days
My current location I cannot disclose
Geographically
It's nowhere that I've been before
But emotionally we're on the same road

If you have the chance to laugh, laugh at me
If you have the chance to hope, it's a duty

Don't sleep
Don't even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be

Forget
Whatever doesn't fit
Regret
Regret none of it
Don't bet
On getting rid of me
Yours eternally

As your so-called companion
The worst jokes and the greatest times
You got me high
And the stars got me home
Your faith in me was blinding
Yours is the song that I've always sung
You are not lost out there
Because you are not alone

If you have a chance to reach, reach for me
In the chaos of the earth we'll find beauty
All this time we've been chasing dust
A soldier's song, a sailor's lust
For the glory of a world that we can't yet see

Don't sleep
Don't even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be

Forget
Whatever doesn't fit
Regret
Regret none of it
Don't bet
On getting rid of me
Yours eternally

Did you hear "forever"?
Was it playing soft and low?
It's not a song you wanna hear
If you're not ready to go
You're not alone in the bright blue air
Not alone if there's no one there at all

You're not alone if your voice is unheard
Not alone the song of the mockingbird don't last long
They appear and then they're gone
I swear where music is made
You'll be there

And as the morning light
Stretches out across the floor
Can't believe it's another day
And life goes on like it did before

You're not alone when you're on your knees
Not alone if no one sees you fall
You never took a curtain call

And you are not alone when you close your eyes
And slip into a dream that takes you to the other side
Of the songs in your head
Dizzy as a musical
Stupid songs you can't forget
Beyond pretty, beyond beautiful
Wherever the strange is on parade
Wherever the music is made
You'll be there

Did you know he is close to God
Who makes his old friends laugh?
Did you know Hal the magician?
I watched him disappear from a photograph

I'll meet you there
I'll meet you in time
I'll meet you, cruel or kind
The heart weighs a ton, if you need someone
And they're standing on the platform
But it's the other side

I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you when you're not there
The shopping list of all you missed
Let's go there
I'll meet you in the surreal
I'll meet you in the joy you steal
Stones and sticks, you're kicking the pricks
And still, I'm learning how to kneel
Or what not to feel

And when we reach the Circle line
And when we stop the clocks stopping time
To wake up an unforgiving son
Wake in the dream that overcomes
In a life, we get a taste of it all
In a life

I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you when you don't care
In the empty space that occupies your place
I'll meet you there
A penny on the track
We ran and get it back
The driver on the train, whose soul's in so much pain
Says love will flatten
But it won't crack
The coin won't crack

And when we make the bed out of war
Deafen our children with its roar
Repeat, rewind, replay once more
Never unsee the sights they saw

In a life
We get caught in the traffic
In a life
We make misery from magic
In a life
We miss the comic in the tragic
In a life
In a life

I feel alone, I need it known
I never achieved anything on my own
I feel alone, I need it known
I only received from being shown
I feel alone, I need it known
I never achieved anything on my own
A skipping stone, I was thrown
The ocean floor is not my home
In a life
We catch a glimpse of someone else
In your eyes
Caught a glance of myself

You got lost love, and you found trouble
When you went looking for your life
You got some scars, and some others suffer
But you keep on reaching for the light

The doors of your heart were kicked open
But you're leaving history far behind
Can't break what's already been broken
And now it's time

I know, know, know
All that you've been through
So I know, know, know
Who you are, who you are
Let them show, show, show
It's your scars that give you beauty
You're a beauty
Don't cover your scars
Your scars
Don't cover your scars, they're your scars
Don't cover your scars, they're your scars

You're looking up now
You're looking skyward
Your blackest night is turning blue
All the tyrants that you've defeated
The only one that's left is you

The doors of your heart were kicked open
But you're leaving history far behind
Can't break what's already been broken
But now it's time

I know, know, know
All that you've been through
I know, know, know
Who you are, who you are
Let 'em show, show, show
It's your scars that give you beauty
You're a beauty
Don't cover your scars
Don't cover your scars, they're your scars
Don't cover your scars, they're your scars

I'm the last of your loves
The loser, the least
I'm the name on the form that demands your release
I'm the silence when you grieve
I'll keep you company
Even if you don't believe that it's me

Put your hands on my hand
Feel the nails of the state
Punching holes in the innocent
To fill them with hate

When the townhall cries
For someone to blame
Making laws out of lies
And legal robes out of shame

Put your hand in my side
Feel the contours of control
The silver spikes of friendship
Traded for a soul
The touch and the taste of me
Vinegar sweet
You won't know who I am
The next time we meet
The next time we meet

One time we had a lot of miles to go
Road sign, the death and resurrection show
You smile, the next thing you know, we died
Next life was waiting through an open door
You said it's better than the one before
Last night you promised the sun would rise

If love is in the air
Let's take a breath
If I sound ridiculous
I'm not done yet
All these signs to forever
Have we got heaven for you
Or you can go to hell together
Till death dies too

Are you holding on?
Hold on
Are you holding on?
Resurrection song

All time number one inside my head
Break rhyme, we could spend the day in bed
You're line, "We gotta get the hungry bread"

Do it for a dare
Do it for a laugh
Love is always somewhere
At the back of the photograph
Love extravagantly
And without regret
If there's anything better
I've not heard it yet

Love is in the air
So let's take a breath
Fear to love, my friend
And remain in death

If love is in the air
Let's take a breath
If I sound ridiculous
I'm not done yet
All these signs to forever
Have we got heaven for you
Oh you can go to hell together
Till death dies too

Are you holding on?
Hold on
Are you holding on?
Resurrection song

And I only have one song to bring
For a siren lost at sea
If she needs a song defying gravity
I have one more left in me
A song of devotion
As cold as the ocean

On such a day, such a day as this
On such a day, such a day
Something in me died
But I was no longer afraid
Easter parade
Easter parade

You speak to the part of me that cannot speak
I can't see you but I know you're there
I will always worship what I cannot keep
And not every song will be a prayer

On such a day, such a day as this
On such a day, such a day
Something in me died
But I was no longer afraid
Easter parade
Parade
Easter parade

Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie
Kyrie

"Am I the best of the worst or 
the worst of the best?" she sang
Ice cream smile wide as a mile back then
"Say a nice prayer, be a good girl, finger on my lips"
When she returned, her lipstick 
had learned how not to kiss
I can't fix her, can only love her, 
can't keep her pocket full
I can't keep her face in smiles, 
someone's stolen what was beautiful
I can't sing her home to me in rhymes
But I will bless the Lord at all times

Bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless, I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord
I will bless the Lord at all times

Every night we hope and pray for a new day to rise
Every morning when the sun shows up, 
it's still a surprise
Any child is every child in any mother's eyes
I will bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord
I will bless the Lord at all times

That child you hear has been 
crying for years in the wilderness
A child without armour had 
no hatred to harbour, only loveliness
The driver of the ambulance 
unpacks his shirt pressed and neat
To honour the hurt and the hungry he will later greet
There's not so much road 
left here and no road signs
Drones hover without any 
consciousness over war crimes
I will bless the Lord at all times

The tide is rising, all ships are sinking
New poets must despise all old ways of thinking
Whoever made language must've been drinking
Twenty-six characters own all the ink and printing
I got so many words in my head but I can't find the lines
I will bless the Lord at all times

Changes, these changes
Will rain on this parade
Changes, these changes
I am not afraid

No one there to write it down, 
but when the prophet came around
Said "I've a stranger with me
In the fight none can compare, 
but food and shelter we share
Beloved community"

Every night we hope and pray for a new day to rise
Every morning when the sun shows up, 
it's still a surprise
Any child is every child in any mother's eyes
I will bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord
I will bless the Lord at all times

Changes, these changes
Will rain on this parade
Changes, these changes
I am not afraid
The pages that enrage us
She tears them from the book
"Save us, save us," sings the girl of Guadalupe
