Dragging Hope

Lyrics by Katie Roche

Rest in Power Sonia Kendrick

When hope / doesn’t lay out before me

A bed of leaves / on burning sand

Bare feet drag hope / right behind me

And turn up cool earth /  along the land

And in these rows tears water seedlings

Verdant fields / where I once kneeled

Rows of food / to feed the people

Sword and plough / both made of steel

Oh sister, oh pioneer  

Peace is a belly, round and full

Oh soldier, oh sister dear

Peace comes with another meal

War is futile / war is hunger 

Peace is a  garden in a parking lot

Peace is a belly, round and full (oh sister)

Peace comes with another meal

Peace is a belly, round and full (oh sister)

Peace comes with another meal

Peace comes with another meal
