Gretchen Peters - Blackbirds

Jubilee

I got nothing to hold me here
my old friends have all moved on and disappeared
it won't be long now 'til I fly
but oh my dear ones how I hate to say goodbye
so I sing holy holy from this prison where i lie
my arms reaching up to touch the sky
I sing holy holy, hallelujah I am free
come on down and join the jubilee
I don't hunger and I don't thirst
there is nothing that I need upon this earth
my body's broken but not my soul
you know it's love and only love that's made me whole
I'm an orphan thirty years on
how I miss my father's voice and my mother's arms
I was you once, and now you're me
it's in this circle that we make a family
