Testo Pledge - Benmont Tench
Testo della canzone Pledge (Benmont Tench), tratta dall'album The Melancholy Season
I can't right every little wrong
I can't mend every broken heart
I can't fix every hole in the road
That scuffs up the wheels of your little car
Nobody knows what's right around the corner
Everything goes in the blinking of an eye
Nobody's minding the clock on the wall
As it ticks and it tocks and it chimes
Whose side are you on, my baby?
Whose side are you on, my darling?
Time has a hand on the hat on his head
And his feet are moving out the door
Nobody knows the minute or an hour
Everything goes in the blinking of an eye
Nobody's minding the clock on the wall
As it ticks and it tocks and it chimes
The free and the wise and the ancient
Set out at the dawn of the world
By the side of the river in sorrow
Was a wash of wizened mockingbird
She said, "Where are you going this time, my old ones?
Where are you headed this time, my girls?
Why bother going anywhere at all
When the river of sorrow is the whole of the world?"
We are walking to see past the land and the sea
And the day and the night
And the light at the end of the darkness
Where the hatred is strong
But the loving is stronger than hatred
We are walking to see past the end of the darkness
And Jesus ain't the only one that weeps
At the sight of human unkindness
And Jesus ain't the only one that weeps
At the evil we do one another
And Jesus ain't the only one that weeps
At the death of this world of wonders
And Jesus ain't the only one to weep
In tears at the bitterness
And Jesus ain't the only one to stride into temples
And overturn tables
And Jesus ain't the only one to stand up and speak
For the lost and abandoned
And Jesus ain't the only one to whom is the kingdom
And power and glory
And Jesus ain't the only one to rise in the morning
With love as his mission
For the blind and indifferent
Will be aroused and awakened
Arisen and shaken
And the first and the last
Will be one and the same
As is now and forever written
And Jesus ain't the only one that will shine like the sun
At the end of the darkness
There is nothing without
Everything is within
There is nothing without
Everything is within
And Jesus ain't the only one that wept
