letra de the breast of mercy - john lucas
[verse 1]
oh i went to gather manna
in the cool of the morn
when the dew is still virgin
and the sun’s just been born
[verse 2]
and i picked me a spot
just as fair as the rest
and not before long
was i caught in their nets
[chorus]
oh, are we to starve
in the promised land?
oh, are we to starve
in the promised land?
[verse 3: andy squyres]
the fields are all fenced
they’re all guarded night and day
but the kids are all hungry, man
we’ve got to find a way
[verse 4: andy squyres]
if we just had a few acres
we’d grow healthy and old
oh i ain’t putting no more bodies
in the earth that’s been stol’d
[chorus]
no, i won’t starve
in the promised land
no, i won’t starve
in the promised land
[verse 5]
stillborn moses on the river
open for all
while they’re burning the fruit
cause the profit’s too small
[verse 6]
oh but jesus still got cattle
on a thousand hills of green
unless the bank’s got ‘em too
i ain’t surprised by a thing
[chorus]
but no, we ain’t gonna starve
in the promised land
no, we ain’t gonna starve
in the promised land
[verse 7: andy squyres & john lucas]
the breast of mercy is bared
to the lips of the poor
come and drink your fill
there ain’t no lock on the door
[verse 8: andy squyres & john lucas]
can’t n0body own
the land of the redeemed
there ain’t no slave or sharecropper
servant or king
[verse 9: andy squyres & john lucas]
christ within all
ain’t no trespassing sin
can poison the wine
when there’s mercy within
