The hippies are back.
The hippies are back.
It's a matter of fact.
The hippies are back.
The protest is back.
We are trees weary of war.
The protest is back.
It's a matter of fact.
The protest is back.
No More War.
The boycott is back.
No More War.
The boycott is back.
No More War.
It's a matter of fact.
The boycott is back..
No More War
We are trees weary of war.
The hippies are back.
Strike the drum.
I laid me down to sleep.
And I dreamt that they had gone away.
How I cried inside.
All the life in me started to die.
I awoke and saw a rainbow out my window.

Mary's Song

My mind's eye is a log cabin.
And my heart is the red dirt ground.
But my soul hears the screen door slamming.
As you go to fight the dirty dogs that surround.
The preacher says that life is a battle.
We're all soldiers for the cause.
And a woman's place is beside the oven.
Making bread and feeding the hurt, the broken, and the lost.
Chorus.
So I pray with all the others.
Who know that victory you'll ensure.
And I'll wait and watch in the evening.
Praying that my hope, will my hope endure?
Chorus
So I stay and prepare the linens.
As you go towards your death.
And I'll tend the fires proudly,
knowing I'll see you at the end of all this.
Chorus

Sometimes you gotta invest in it.
Even if you don't believe in it.
Sometimes the things you doubt turn out to be the thing you love.
It will get the best of you.
Worrying about what the rest will do.
Sometimes you gotta trust that there's one above:
Above all this mystery, and sad broken history, above all the low and the you and the meek.
You gotta trust that there's an end you see, you gotta trust that you are in the plan you see.
Please trust in a higher in the things that you seek.
And sometimes you gotta trust in it, even when it seems like it's not getting you very far.
And sometimes you gotta invest in it, even when they seem like the biggest assholes you've ever seen.
So in your moments of darkness and doubt, I'm praying for you and hoping you'll figure it out and when you do, tell me what the answer is.
'Cause, little sister, I know what you're going through, I'm walking the road just a few miles from you and I'm praying that it don't get the best of you and me.
'Cause sometimes you gotta invest in it. Even when it seems like the rest of it could go to hell for all you please. 'Cause, hell, you feel like you'll be there too, for all the small little ways, the accumulated wounds, but darling listen, he's made a place for everybody.
And if you don't believe Him, then every once in a while, please believe me.
