LYRIC FOR SALE

By Gillespie

Verse 1 — Pilgrim
I’ve walked through deserts, crossed the rain,
Lookin’ for answers to ease this pain.
Tell me, wise one, how can it be,
That children go hungry by the deep blue sea?

Chorus — Both
Bread should be broken, not taken away,
Light should be lifted to guide our way.
But hearts can grow colder than a winter night,
We must be the bread, we must be the light.

Verse 2 — Guru
In the game of kingdoms, the weak are pawns,
Their cries are the wind that the war rolls on.
Those who seek power will close their ears,
And feed on the silence of another’s tears.

Chorus — Both
Bread should be broken, not taken away,
Light should be lifted to guide our way.
But hearts can grow colder than a winter night,
We must be the bread, we must be the light.

Bridge — Pilgrim / Guru
(Pilgrim) Then what can one traveller do alone?
The road is long, and my hands are stone.
(Guru) Give where you stand, lift what you can,
Even the smallest seed will feed the land.

Final Chorus — Both
Bread should be broken, not taken away,
Light should be lifted to guide our way.
If we carry the warmth through the darkest fight,
We can be the bread, we can be the light.
