Lyrics for "The Journey" CD:
The Journey

Mighty Ocean

Storm

Love

Stop and Think

Cruel Power

Arcadia in Verse

Flight of Crows
 



Storm ~ Music by Holly Reed ~ Lyrics from Ben Gunn's travel journals

In the city of Jackson at the recent election
Men armed with Winchesters guarded the polls
No colored man was permitted to vote
What are they teaching their children?

In this condition I tremble for the future of the South
Ignorance can be enslaved but intelligence never
In time he will arise in all his might
Asserting his manhood and claiming his rights
And the pent up wrongs of centuries will take flight

And the Mississippi sky is bright but clouds are gathering
It seems there's a storm a comin'
Seems there's a storm a comin'
