Whitewashed Paroles

We look for the better angels of our nature
we look in vain
speak truth
cost as it may
every seeking a narrower way
ever weak
however strong
they are most beautiful before they're gone

Whitewashed
given foothold and license
you snuck in here on a folk song
try yourself
do something
rise from the ground like a flower
prove to be
be found to be

What does the lord require
to do justly
Don't come around my dreams no more
with a fist full of stick
come in the smile of Elijah
he is the lord and healer of the sick

Les absents ont toujours tort
les absents ont toujours tort
