I wrote to you somewhere in south australia
A poet's heart in the eye of a hurricane
I struggle with finding words to sing these days I said
As if my thoughts are waiting in the wings
For the stage to clear
And you in your elegance and humor fill the room
Your love and your concern
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear
I thank you for being here
You wrote of love from the coast of mendocino
A poet's heart crying a fighter's tears
The children of your body spread out across this earth
Like messages written across time
Measuring the years
And you in your elegance and humor fill the room
Your love and your concern
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear
I thank you for being here
I heard your songs reach out to California
