Raging Glory

from Live at Subrosa by Rabbit in the Rye

/

lyrics

I have not seen the girl you're looking for
She left my home some eight years or more
to see, on her own, a more forgiving shore
though we soon may go out
to meet her blessed heart to see that she has found a body clean;
a trace of threaded golden dream; a place to wash her hands feet

"Born," she cried, "I am not made for thee"
Torn was I, but now I hold free
For my, my raging glory
For my, my naked and breathing son
For my son, for my son

I have seen the light on the hill,
it is green and it floods all the valley
It highlights the shoreline, unwilling but tame,
for my ship's steer to parry

In lieu of flowers for the lovely lorelei
Bound aground and found with no captain alive
no helmsman or no hand to be
to this young woman, send all your, your charity
send all your, your charity
for some day she may be the bearer of all these great worlds yet unseen

"Born," she cried, "I am not made for thee"
Torn was I, but now I hold free
For my, my raging glory
For my, my naked and breathing son
For my son, for my son

I will tread on to the end of my will when I am battered and wary
Even if by land, on knees and on hands, for you I will carry
