Shawn Mullins - Ferguson Lyrics






All of ye fallen fathers and mothers
I hear you calling from deep in your graves
Songs about Jesus songs about freedom
Shackles and crosses and the way blood behaves

Sailed the great ocean sold down the river
White fields of cotton and green fields of cane
The sweat from our bodies the tears of our children
Washed in the blood and Promised Land rain

Brother fighting brother on ground we now hallow
And sad halleluiahs the angels did sing
For commerce is buried in fields that lay fallow
The bell is too broken to let freedom ring

All the dreams of the dreamers all misbegotten
There's mammas still crying for the dying and dead
And the world rages on and the whole thing is rotten
The blood we all bleed is the same shade of red

    Shawn Is so talented..Why isnt his music out there for more people to hear. I saw him in Boston several years back..He was awesome. People just dont get him. Love him

    M.... D....

    +Maggie D I get him. He is brilliant. Loving this song on first listen. There are a lot of artists out there like Shawn who are amazing but they're just not doing what mainstream radio wants today. If you want to find the gems, you've got to do some digging.
