Packing vagabond visions and

A dream drenched hunger for a home

Swaddled in road dirt

Blood stained blankets and poems

On a stormy suitcase Sunday

I awakened to the scream of the birds

They held their high notes

And offered prayer without words

Sinking in asphalt

Speechlessness and what coulda been

Surrounded by strangers

Scarred stars stoned broken men

Riding the narcotic night 'til

She swerved and smashed into the curb

Morning spilled from the wreckage

And offered prayer without words

Chains on the mast pull the past

Nothing lasts but nothing ever ends

I leave town break new ground

Break down leave town again

Trapped in the circle

Anchored to the weight of the world

Under shooting stars that sink

The skies and offer prayer without words

Justice rides with jaundiced eyes

Jaded judges bleed the broken bench

Liberty's a homicide she been flogged

To death with money's monkey wrench

Desperado apostates set fire

To every holy word we've heard

Silence billows from the burning

Book and offers prayer without words

Surrender that sweet cleaning girl

Folds white flags in Hallelujah Square

She can't remember where she's been

One day I'm gonna join her there

Unpack my battered traveling case

Hang out a sign that says ＂ Do Not Disturb ＂

Dissolve into a dreamless sleep

That offers prayer without words
