songs of sorrow, songs of jubilee,
your children taken and sold into slavery, you grieve with your family you are not alone, we sing. When the violation rejection and negation
happen within the family, it is unspeakable, we sing.
we come into the human experience slaves to our suffering,
hot faggots are being applied to my limbs,
slaves to the habits of the dark ages, we come to wake up to it, we sing.
When human understanding has been obliterated,
we must embrace and sanctify, restore it to sanity,
before we liberate it completely and let concrete reality dissolve .
The relative must be made real.
make me real, beloved, through your love,
through my love, our love, we sing
I try to meditate, but I hear the cries of the hungry ghosts
and the ones in the hell realms, while the others are off having fun,
I stay and tend to them , knowing that it is their view
that all the others are having fun, and still I make a prayer
for my happiness and theirs, and the causes of happiness
Gospel choir of the Earth elements of my body, we sing
