1. ANTHEM

Anthem

What do we long for, what will we receive
What were we born for if not to believe?

I am riding this train under tornado skies
Fields once overflowing, rivers gone dry
My mother is dreaming, my father at rest
I have never lost hope and I will never forget
I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget

All I long for, all I receive
All I was born for, all I believe

I dream of the cities, your hand held in mine
I dream of children never in want
I dream of Jerusalem, Mecca and Washington
It is peace we must honor, nurture, or grieve

Riding that train, riding that train
Riding that train, riding that train

All that I long for, all I receive
All I was born for, all I believe
I believe in the legacy, the truth we bequeath
All we were born for, all we believe

I am riding this train through the heart of the matter
My eyes as clear as these tears will allow
I pray for us all and am left but to wonder
I pray for us all for the time is now

All that I long for, all I receive
All I was born for, all I believe
Believe in the legacy, the truth we bequeath
All we were born for, all we believe, believe . . .

What do we long for, what will we receive
What were we born for if not to believe?

Believe . . .
