THIS DEPRESSION

Baby, I’ve been down
But never this down
I’ve been lost
But never this lost

This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

Baby, I’ve been low
But never this low
I’ve had my faith shaken
But never hopeless
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

And I’ve always been strong
But I’ve never felt so weak
And all my prayers have gone for nothing
I’ve been without love
But never forsaken
Now the morning sun
The morning sun is breaking

This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

YOU’VE GOT IT

No one ever found it
Ain’t no school ever taught it
No one ever made it
Ain’t no one ever bought it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

Ain’t no one can break it
There ain’t no one can steal it
Ain’t no one can fake it
You just know it when you feel it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

Yeah, you can’t read it in a book
And you can’t even dream it
Honey, it ain’t got a name
You just know it when you see it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

Well, now listen up
Your reckless love is precious so don’t waste it
Can’t tell you what they made it of
But I know it when I taste it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it

You’ve got it in your bones and blood
You’re real as real ever was
Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

WE ARE ALIVE

There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife
There is a graveyard kid down below
Where at night did come to life
And above the stars, they crackle in fire
A dead man’s moon throws seven rings
Well, we put our ears to the cold grave stones
This is the song they’d sing

We are alive
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
Our spirits rise to carry the fire and light the spark
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart

A voice cried out, I was killed in Maryland in 1877
When the railroad workers made their stand
Well, I was killed in 1963 one Sunday Morning in Birmingham
Well, I died last year crossing the southern Desert
My Children left behind in San Pablo
Well they left our bodies here to rot
Oh please let them know

We are alive
Oh, and though we lie alone here in the dark
Our souls will rise to carry the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart

Let your mind rest easy, sleep well my friend
It’s only our bodies that betray us in the end

I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep
From my head to my feet, my body gone stone cold
There were worms crawling all around me
Fingers scratching at an earth black and six foot low
And alone in the blackness of my grave
Alone I’d been left to die
Then I heard voices calling all around me
The earth rose above me, my eyes filled with sky

We are alive
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
Our souls and spirits rise
To carry the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart
We are alive
