lyrics

So Far from Home (Psalm 137/Mukachevo)
July 28, 2015

1. We sat by the river and played our guitars,
dreaming of better days.
If memories are fires, then songs are the spark—
but they’re both starting to fade. They are starting to fade.

How can we sing the songs of the Lord
here on foreign ground?
How could we raise a song of joy
when we’re so far from home?

2. We sat under willows and taught them our songs;
the wind played the branches like harps.
Tears in our eyes, laments on our tongues,
and such sadness in our hearts. Only sadness in our hearts.

How can we sing the songs of the Lord
here on foreign ground?
How could we raise a song of joy
when we’re so far from home?

3. God damn the slave traders, pimps, and the wars
that have taken our sons and our daughters.
God bless the children huddled for warmth,
‘cause the night is getting colder. Oh, the night’s getting colder.

How can we sing the songs of the Lord
here on foreign ground?
How could we raise a song of joy
when we’re so far from home?
