Performed at Ishare 2012 after my first summer colporteuring.

lyrics

Right, Left (x2)
I’m panting for breath
I’m staring at my own feet
Thinking, when will this end?
Thinking, a race? What race?
Thinking, a war? What war?
I want to go home…

Because as I go door to door
I get “No’s” for “Hello’s”
I get “Not interested” here’s a slammed door
I get “Sorry, the owner is not home”
And last but not least I get,
“No tengo dinero”.

Hmmmmm… yikes

Right, Left (x2)
*Knock Knock*
(Hi, my name is…)
*Slam*
Gahhhh! It’s too hard, Lord!
Im too tired, Lord!
Don’t you get it?
Don’t you understand?
That nobody wants books, Lord?

Right, Left (x2)
And the Lord God replied:
Ahhhh, Child! Don’t you know?
Don’t you see?
That the steps you take are mirrored
Images of the ones I took for you!
That the sweat on your brow
Was carried on my face first!
That you ARE in a race and you are winning, my child. (Right/Left)
That you are a mighty arrow in my hand! (Right/Left)
A weapon of mass destruction in this great controversy! (Right/Left)
A soldier suited for the frontlines. (Right/Left)

You are mine, and so are they
Don’t you ever forget that.
So take what is in your hand, child
And run! Run for me!
Make sure your hands and feet speak of eternity
And take hold of my hand,
So when you come across a “No Soliciting” sign
You have the strength to reach for the door and knock,
Instead of reaching for a simple door card.

So when you come across an angry mouth
Your lips can perform a dancing smile.
So when you come across the heartbroken
You can replace the old glue and tape that once held it together.

Are you willing, my child?
Will you light your world?
Don’t ever give up.
I never gave up on you,
And now you are mine
And so are they
Don’t ever forget that.
