"I Heard An Owl" by Carrie Newcomer Available on "The Gathering of Spirits" on Rounder Records To purchase visit Itunes or newcomer.!
I heard an owl call last night
Homeless and confused
And I stood naked and bewildered
At the evil people do
And up upon a hill
There is a terrible sign
That tells the story of what darkness waits
If we leave the light behind
So don't tell me hate
Is ever right or God's will
These are the wheels
We put in motion ourselves
And the whole world weeps
And is weeping still
Though shaken, I still believe
The best of what we all can be
And the only peace this world will know
Can only come from love
I am a voice that's calling out
Across the great divide
And I am only just one person
That feels they have to try
And the questions fall like trees or dust
And rise like prayers above
But the only word is "Courage"
And the only answer "Love"
