Uriel Jackson
(for Charles)
The son also rises
He must needs greet the day
He reaffirms the challenge
That will not go away
People gettin’ ready to curse about what’s been ailin’ ‘em
Don’t they understand it’s just an echo in a canyon?
But Uriel Jackson
He’s still rollin’ along
The son and the father
Embedded in each other’s self
Suddenly each understands
There ain’t no book
There ain’t no shelf
People gettin’ ready to lecture ‘bout how to behave
Don’t they understand it’s just a shadow in a cave?
But Uriel Jackson
He’ll keep hummin’ his song
Keep on mixin’ those colors
Keep that canvas pure
See that void in your brothers
This cross one forever endures
‘Cause the sun also rises
For now, it ain’t goin’ nowhere
The world’s half-baked words and superficial disguises
I do declare
But Uriel Jackson
He’s still bangin’ that gong
He’s still turning up strong
He’s still bangin’ that gong
Yeah, get it on
