St. Joan

Had no plan of attack

Just the wind at my back and a heart full of strings

There she stood in the aisle

Pretty girl, pretty smile

What a dangerous thing

Saint Joan of the seatbelt, Saint Joan of the sky

Palming plasticine peanuts, pouring Pepsi and wine

She points toward the exits like some prayer from on high

And from her mouth god came tumblin

And she sang a song of peace and rejoicing

She sang and my heart couldn’t help let her voice in

We touched down in LA

That’s the place where i stay

Where I keep all my clothes

And in a cab on the ten

I was thinking bout when

I should quit i suppose

Then my driver Mohammed asked, "what do you do?"

Our eyes met in the mirror as I searched for the truth

I said I'm a singer he said I got news for you

I am too

I am too

And he sang a song of peace and rejoicing

He sang and my heart couldn’t help let his voice in

Oh, oh

That night on the stage

Thinking I’d turn the page, I could not find my light

Felt some heat on my face

But it came from a place filled with anger and fright

Then my heart heard a murmur that turned to a roar

As the crowd started pounding their feet on the floor

I remembered at last what I’m doing this for

It’s not for me, not just for me

And I sang my song of peace and rejoicing

I sang and their hearts couldn’t help let my voice in

My voice in

My voice in

Oh, oh, oh

Peace and rejoicing

Peace and rejoicing

Oh, ooh
