Pledge

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 blinkin' of an eye

Nobody's mindin' 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 adored?

Time has a hand on the hat on his head

And his feet are movin' out the door

Nobody knows the minute or the hour

Everything goes in the blinkin' of an eye

Nobody's mindin' the clock on the wall

As it ticks and it tocks and it chimes

The three and the wise and the ancient

Set out at the dawn of the world

By the side of the river and sorrow

Was a washed-up wizened mockingbird

She said, "Where are you going this time, my old ones?

Where are you headed this time, my girls?"

Why bother goin' anywhere at all

When the river of sorrow is the whole of the world?

We are walkin' to see past the land and the sea

And the day and the night and the light and the end of the darkness

Where the hatred is strong, but the lovin' is stronger than hatred

We are walkin' 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 who that weeps at the death of this world of wonders

And Jesus ain't the only one to weep bitter tears at the bitterness in us

And Jesus ain't the only one to stride into temples and overturn tables

And Jesus ain't the only to stand up and speak for the lost and abandoned

And Jesus ain't the only to whom is the kingdom and power and glory

And Jesus ain't the only one to rise in the mornin' with love as his mission

For the blind and indifferent will be aroused and awakened, arisen and shaken (Jesus ain't the only one)

And the first and the last will be one in the same, as is now and forever written (Jesus ain't the only one)

And Jesus ain't the only that will shine like a sun at the end of the darkness

There is nothin' without, everything is within

There is nothin' without, everything is within

And Jesus ain't the only one that wept
