Garnet Rogers - Dear Grandfather lyrics

Dear Grandfather, My people are troubled these days: They put so much faith in things, Things ain't worth the ways We have to pay for them. And dear Grandfather, So much of our freedom depends On how well we pretend We'll k** more of them Than they will of us in the end. And I call to you Wishing to serve you well. Is there a way I can heal what keeps us apart? For I am an orphan Who's come home to you in my heart. And dear Grandfather, We tax all the land for what it's worth Until it has to make money And we build something ugly, An insult to the sky and the earth. And dear Grandfather, Our rivers have suffered the worst. And I learned to drink Before I learned to think And still I am dying of thirst. And I call to you Wishing to serve you well. Is there a way I can heal what keeps us apart? For I am an orphan Who's come home to you in my heart. And I call to you Wishing to serve you well. Is there a way I can heal what keeps us apart? For I am an orphan Who's come home to you in my heart. And dear Grandfather, I've put my faith in a song Though I'm learning to believe You get what you need And sometimes you must lay it down. And dear Grandfather, To your silence I have come. Though the wisest of men Said he'd spit on your hand And soon your answer will come. And I call to you Wishing to serve you well. Is there a way I can heal what keeps us apart? For I am an orphan Who's come home to you in my heart. For I am an orphan Who's come home to you in my heart.
