Lyrics for I Had No Right by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | The Green World | | Track: | I Had No Right | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 93 | | | | Lyrics: | "God of the poor man this is how the day began
Eight codefendants, I, Daniel Berrigan
Oh
and only a layman's batch of napalm
We pulled the draft files out
We burned them in the
parking lot
Better the files than the bodies of children
I had no right but for the
love of you
I had no right but for the love of you
Many roads led here, walked with
the suffering
Tom in Guatamala, Phillip in New Orleans
Oh it's a long road from law to
justice
I went to Vietnam, I went for peace
They dropped their bombs
Right where my
government knew I would be
I had no right but for the love of you
I had no right but
for the love of you
And all my country saw
Were priests who broke the
law
First it was question, then it was a mission
How to be American, how to be a
Christian
Oh if their law is their cross and the cross is burning
The love of
you
The love of you
God of the just I'll never win a peace prize
Falling like
Jesus
Now let the jury rise
Oh it's all of us versus all that paper
They took the
only way they know who is on trial today
Deliver us unto each other, I pray
I had no
right but for the love of you
And every trial I stood, I stood for you
Eyes on the
trial
8 a.m. arrival
Hands on the Bible
