Whatever it was, it wasn't manumission To spill the blood, to pull the weed You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be Can we bring it together Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove? I kicked up the dirt, and I said to my neighbor We keep making it worse, we keep getting it wrong He tucked in his shirt, he stood a little bit straighter We need a few less words dear, we need a few more guns Will it bring us together Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove? Enduring love Why so much and so strong, beyond this short existence? Don't be still You say there's a long line behind you And it's hardly worth the mentioning But I will 'Cause we may flicker and fade But we never will be through with this I see this world battered but not broken There's a fallow heart, it's waiting on a sowing hand You can grow what you want One day it's gonna rise up So plant what you need to make a better stand And we'll bring it together And we'll call from the mountain to the valley below And we'll make it better Let go of the hawk, we let go of the dove Can bring it together Call from the mountain to the valley below I'm telling you now And we'll make it better Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
