He was driving into Chicago in a borrowed El Camino,
On a hazeless day in springtime I think it was the Cinco De Mayo.
Maybe it was St Paddy's or the Gay Pride parade,
But I've never seen nobody light up the street that way.
Brother where you've been? Hold on if you can.
Just do your best then say, ?Amen.?
Called in sick for the weekend, drinking St Paulies in Wisconsin.
I was fishing with my buddies most of Sunday afternoon.
And there beneath the halo of an Old Milwaukee sign,
He said, There's big ones in the shallows I see them all the time.
Brother where you've been? Hold on if you can.
Just do your best then say, ?Amen.?
I stopped into the Seven-Eleven, I was buying an Aquafina.
He was wearing knock-off sneakers, I was nursing a hangover.
He said, ?You're worth a whole lot more baby than you've ever dared to dream of.?
Like he knew the secret sketchy places I've been looking for love
Sister where you've been? Hold on if you can.
Just do your best then say, ?Amen.?
A tall skinny guy with dread locks said they're giving' out free bagels & lox.
So I took the kids and all my plastic bags, walked the seven blocks.
There were joggers and commuters, skate board kids and Goths.
There were drunks and dogs and meter maids in that downtown vacant lot.
He said, 'The universe is unfolding and the center still is holding,
There's enough if we just share it, now ya'll don't forget to pass the basket.
Blessed are all the good hearted, the poets and the dreamers,
And all us crazy holy hungry ones who still believe in something better.?
Brother where you've been Hold on if you can.
Just do your best then say, ?Amen.?.?
I saw Jesus talking shop, with Buddha at the Starbucks,
I saw Gaia and Ganesh, doing double Dutch in the park,
Mohammad was throwing popcorn to the pigeons and the sparrows.
And all us crazy holy hungry ones still believe in something better,
Brother where you've been? Hold on if you can.
Just do your best then say, ?Amen.?
Sister where you've been? Hold on if you can.
Just do your best then say, ?Amen.?
Say ?Amen?
Say ?Amen?
