But We Have The Power

from Then my eyes will embrace the advance. by Jon Gaither

/

lyrics

She said, “It’s all in the eyes, the way they disguise
Turning ‘round for one last sight
With the shine of our guns let’s be robbers on the run
And leave this town tonight.”

I said, “If that’s what sentimental means to you
I’ll look back just but once
And if our protest songs were wrong
Then my eyes will embrace the advance.”

She said, “Due east is west of nowhere
And there’s nothing for us to the south
But when winds from the north sway boats back and forth
It’s time we hear them out.”

I said, “Whatever bearing we take to the road
Let’s go ninety miles an hour
To quote your favorite rebel:
‘They have the plant, but we have the power.’”

She said, “It’s all in the eyes, the way they disguise.”
I said, “Then my eyes will embrace the advance.”

She said, “It’s all in the eyes, the way they disguise.”
I said, “Then my eyes will embrace the advance.”
