From the recording Hallelujah
the first two lines of the verse come directly from I Samuel 3:1.
the hush now portion- a nod to the calling of Samuel.
The premise - the need of a better and more loving and welcoming political climate
Lyrics
Hush now, I think I hear someone calling out my name
Oh yeah, I hear it now someone's calling out my name
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
The word of the Lord is rare these days; visions are not widespread
When you're lost you may not care where you may be led
And by the way, are we going to a place where the lion lays down with the lamb?
If that's not where you're taking me I got to find somebody who can.
Hush now I hear a call, I hear my name in the wind
Oh Lord, I hear you now, you're calling me in the wind
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
We've forgotten all we knew and now there's no one left to ask
We've lost the stories, we've lost the songs, grew shallow roots of grass
I believe we can live again in peace throughout the land
Where strangers are not foes, but friends, offering a helping hand
Hush now, angels sing; a distant anthem rings
Sing out, in harmony, let hallelujahs begin
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
