Washed Away Lyrics and music by Kiya Heartwood ©2005 E E G What can I tell you it’s been a hard summer bombs in the subway and water’s too high E G nothing makes sense here some call Armageddeon some shut down in silence or scream at the sky But I’m looking for answers and feeling so helpless I know we all do what we can but we’re standing on rooftops in need of assistance praying we won’t go under again Washed away Washed away I’ve seen the lines on the faces of people pushed harder harder and harder and harder each day too tired to get angry or fight off injustice when there’s dishes to wash and bills to get paid and I feel like a trumpet in the Salvation Army standing in snow and begging for change I’ve got my uniform but pretend not to see me they never hear the hymns that we play Washed Away Washed Away I’m singing in riddles my comfort in poetry too many nights of Yeats and Shakespeare and I’m dreaming of gentleness courage and mercy leaders of hope with vision that’s clear and I know I’m just dreaming but I’m in good company dreams will heal us and carry us on waters of kindness waters of sympathy rising up making us strong Wash away Wash away
