I love Iris Dement. worked all night , husband has brain cancer and is now sleeping and the thought that Iris's loverly voice and Chris' loverly herky jerky body movements are the same, maybe I am the one with brain damage but it seems real to me as anything else right now
"The Kingdom Has Already Come" I stopped in the church to pray It was the middle of the day And I don't even know if I believe in God But I laid my soul on the table And left that place believing I was able To pull back the curtain old fears had drawn I was out on the fourth of July When I saw those kids, and just had to cry The whole town was blazing in the summer's heat But out in front of a row of rundown shacks They had that fire hydrant uncapped Baptizing their bodies right there in the street There's a tree outside my window It sings when wind blows I've got water and fire I know sorrow, I feel desire And could it be that the kingdom has already come We all see good or bad in everything that we have But life is waiting just behind that veil If this will be loved and that will be hated The soul is left to struggle segregated Trapped in the harbor too weighed down to sail There's a tree outside my window It sings when wind blows I've got water and fire I know sorrow, I feel desire And could it be that the kingdom has already come And could it be that the kingdom has already come
Love me some Iris. THANK YOU!

"The Kingdom Has Already Come"
I stopped in the church to pray
It was the middle of the day
And I don't even know if I believe in God
But I laid my soul on the table
And left that place believing I was able
To pull back the curtain old fears had drawn
I was out on the fourth of July
When I saw those kids, and just had to cry
The whole town was blazing in the summer's heat
But out in front of a row of rundown shacks
They had that fire hydrant uncapped
Baptizing their bodies right there in the street
There's a tree outside my window
It sings when wind blows
I've got water and fire
I know sorrow, I feel desire
And could it be that the kingdom has already come
We all see good or bad in everything that we have
But life is waiting just behind that veil
If this will be loved and that will be hated
The soul is left to struggle segregated
Trapped in the harbor too weighed down to sail
There's a tree outside my window
It sings when wind blows
I've got water and fire
I know sorrow, I feel desire
And could it be that the kingdom has already come
And could it be that the kingdom has already come
MIS OÍDOS REALMENTE OYEN!!!
excellent
Oh, my.
