lyrics

We all walk into the future, backwards
Because the past is our only reference
And only rarely does the present demand
That we turn and refer to what stands there ahead of us

And when the present demands that we turn and behold
We will confound it, and we will say “no”
And any who turn and say what they see
We will no longer break bread with these

For if we must hit the wall it is our
Wish to do so unknowingly
Can we hope for any better ending that this?

If only it were so! But we do know
We can smell it, and we can can feel it in our bones
And to suspend our knowing unknowing, we go
And hang what we know on the tired bones of those

Scapegoat the wretched of the earth
For the judgment that we have piled high against ourselves
All before creation gives birth to the
New things we cannot imagine
Nor shall we have any right to taste them

And when she will take back from us all her stolen sabbath’s rest
We will say, on that holy day: “amen, and yes”
