He was driving into Chicago in a borrowed El Camino[00:00:00]
On a hazeless day in springtime[00:00:07]
I think it was the Cinco De Mayo[00:00:10]
Maybe it was St Paddy's or the Gay Pride parade[00:00:16]
But I've never seen nobody light up the street that way[00:00:21]
Brother where you been [00:00:28]
Hold on if you can[00:00:31]
Just do your best then say "Amen"[00:00:35]
Called in sick for the weekend[00:00:43]
Drinking St Paulies in Wisconsin[00:00:46]
I was fishing with my buddies was a Sunday afternoon[00:00:49]
There beneath the halo of an Old Milwaukee sign[00:00:58]
He said "There's big ones in the shallows[00:01:03]
And I see them all the time"[00:01:07]
Brother where you been [00:01:10]
Hold on if you can[00:01:13]
Just do your best then say "Amen"[00:01:17]
I stopped in the Seven-Eleven[00:01:24]
I was buying an Aquafina[00:01:28]
He was wearing knock-off sneakers[00:01:31]
I was nursing a hangover[00:01:35]
He said "You're worth a whole alot more baby than[00:01:38]
You've ever dared to dream of"[00:01:42]
Like he knew the secret sketchy places[00:01:45]
I'd been looking for love[00:01:50]
Sister where you been [00:01:52]
Hold on if you can[00:01:55]
Just do your best then say "Amen"[00:01:59]
A tall skinny guy in dread locks said that[00:02:07]
They're giving out free bagels and lox[00:02:10]
I took the kids and all my plastic bags[00:02:14]
And walked the seven blocks[00:02:18]
There were joggers and commuters[00:02:21]
Skate board kids and Goths[00:02:24]
There were drunks and dogs[00:02:27]
And meter maids in that downtown vacant lot[00:02:29]
He said "The universe is unfolding[00:02:41]
The center still is holding[00:02:46]
There's enough if we just share it[00:02:49]
Now y'all don't forget to pass the basket"[00:02:51]
Blessed are the good hearted[00:02:57]
The poets and the dreamers[00:02:59]
And all us crazy holy hungry ones who[00:03:02]
Still believe in something better[00:03:06]
Brother where you been [00:03:09]
Hold on if you can[00:03:12]
Just do your best then say "Amen"[00:03:16]
I saw Jesus talking shop with Buddha at Starbucks[00:03:23]
I saw Gaea and Ganesh doing double Dutch in the park[00:03:30]
Mohammad was throwing popcorn[00:03:39]
To the pigeons and the sparrows[00:03:41]
And all us crazy holy hungry[00:03:44]
Ones still believe in something better[00:03:47]
Brother where you been [00:03:51]
Hold on if you can[00:03:54]
Just do your best then say "Amen"[00:03:58]
Sister where you been [00:04:05]
Hold on if you can[00:04:08]
Just do your best then say "Amen"[00:04:12]
Say "Amen"[00:04:19]
Say "Amen"[00:04:22]
