She Cries and Sings

Arise and start. We had our orders then
Carry this message through
And through the days. Of barren passages
The message reached the land
Another day another dollar
Another footprint in the sand
Another drop of rain to swallow
Another bird set from my hand
She cries and sings. Of all the good things
Of a promised land
She cries and sings
Without our faith. It's mere coincidence
It's just a hungry bird of prey
But in her eyes. And in her confidence
A thousand generations say
Another day another dollar
Another footprint in the sand
Another drop of rain to swallow
Another bird set from my hand
She cries and sings. Of all the good things
Like the good of man
She cries and sings
