Everything That Rises Lyrics

Everything That Rises lyrics

There's a penny poised on a whitewashed fence There's a little black boy praying
for his government There's a nervous lady reaching for her place There's a red
faced son running from his race Everything that rises Everything that rises
Everything that rises must converge This is my country-this is your sign- We
are painting fences, drawing lines Well I don't know much about anything And I
don't know much about conversation Look at me, look at me giving my weakness
away Do you know Coventry-ribbons and bows- She will throw confetti in your
soul Well I don't know much about anything And I don't know much about
conversation Look at me, look at me giving my weakness away
