She Cries And Sings - Martin Sexton

Arise and start. We had our orders then 
Carry this message through 
And through the days. Of barren passages 
The message reached the land 
Another day another dollar 
Another footprint in the sand 
Another drop of rain to swallow 
Another bird set from my hand 
She cries and sings. Of all the good things 
Of a promised land 
She cries and sings 
Without our faith. It's mere coincidence 
It's just a hungry bird of prey 
But in her eyes. And in her confidence 
A thousand generations say 
Another day another dollar 
Another footprint in the sand 
Another drop of rain to swallow 
Another bird set from my hand 
She cries and sings. Of all the good things 
Like the good of man 
She cries and sings
