lyrics

A Hymn For Alton Sterling

I have been up to St Louis
I have been to Michigan
I have called out from the forest
& I have called you in as friends

I am here with you in the nighttime
I am here with you til the end
It is me that they are after
It is me who calls you friend

I have been to Baton Rouge
I have been up to St Paul
I have seen all the Broken
I’ve been thrown up against the wall

How much longer can this happen?
I’ve been asking all my life
I have seen too much hatred
Only love can set us right
