Battered buses jammed up to the roof
Dust and diesel the prevailing themes
Farmer sleeping on the truck in front,
Feet trailing over like he's trolling for dreams.
Smiling girl directing traffic flow
.45 strapped over cotton print dress.
Marimba-brown and graceful limbs
Give me a moment of loneliness
Dust and diesel
Rise like incense from the road --
Smoke of offering
For the revolution morning
Headlights pick out fallen sack of corn
One lone tarantula standing guard.
We pull up and stop and she ambles off --
Discretion much the better part of cars
Rodrigo the government driver jumps out --
He's got chickens who can use the feed.
We sweep the asphalt on our hands and knees --
Fill up his trunk with dusty yellow seeds.
Dust and diesel
Rise like incense from the road --
Smoke of offering
For the revolution morning
Guitars and rifles in blue moonlight
Soldiers stretched out on sparkling grass.
Engine broke down -- they took us in --
Now we make music for the time to pass
Tired men and women raise their voice to the night --
Hope the fragile bloom they've grown will last.
Pride and passion and love and fear --
Burning hearts burning boats of the past.
Dust and diesel
Rise like incense from the road --
Smoke of offering
For the revolution morning

Bruce Cockburn is a Canadian singer-songwriter born in 1945. He began his career in the 1960s, releasing folk albums influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Throughout the 1970s, his songs often explored themes of Christian faith, but in a non-preachy way, emphasizing compassion for others. In the 1980s, his music became more political, with songs like "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", inspired by his experience in a Guatemalan refugee camp on behalf of Oxfam. Cockburn has always enjoyed great popularity in Canada, where he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Some of his most important albums include "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws" (1973), "Last Night Of The World" (1984) and "The Charity Of Lovers" (1991). Among his most representative songs are: "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" and "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen cover).
