At Last the Day Will Come

At last the day will come, my friend my friend, At last the day will come- The harbors will once more, fill up with love, not war, At last the day will come- From skies that once were dark, goodwill will now impart, At last the day will come- All across this land, my brothers will join hands, At last the day will come- From Dixie to DC, free speech will welcome thee, At last the day will come- Our zoos will open gates, all life will congregate, At last the day will come- The money that we earn, will not cause lives to burn, At last the day will come- Now sing it with me friends, your hourglass depends, At last the day will come- At last the day will come, my friend my friend, At last the day will come- ….Inspired by Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan 12/30/10 © All Rights Reserved

Two great folk singers and civil rights advocates could inspire nothing less. Very lyrical, filled yen and longing like a metaphor for silent pain. Well done, my friend Jimbo, well done!
