The Secret Seven

Moon, it rises to break across the river and a moon-faced boy Would you write a speaking part for me? A part that puts me somewhere between the elevated road and the water It don’t get better, the hunger, even back in his arms No, the water will get higher as fast as you run Charity think no evil and charity never faileth Let me feed you with a song I’m out on the street with an open case and a mandolin And with every coin, I am born again Faith will return to you, my friend Some days, I feel like the end of mankind and some days, the beginning Watching kids turn into lovers/believers It don’t get better, the hunger, even back in his arms No, the water will get higher the faster you run Sun, it rises to shine upon the wreckage of our broken bloody union Does it fill your gaps like it fills in mine? The sunlight creeping 'cross the line to rest upon the site of our ruin And if your mother doesn’t answer, then give me a call Here’s my number: 854-4784
