Andrew Peterson - The Ballad of Hansberry Brown lyrics
[Andrew Peterson - The Ballad of Hansberry Brown lyrics]
Met a man on the beach out in Panama City
Who was haggard and worn like a slave
He said his life had been sweet
And that he wasn't quitting
But he knew that today was his day
He said "I have wandered far to yonder ocean
I have drunk from every
Fountain in this world
I have turned each mossy stone
And have found myself alone
But, I believe there is love
Enough for the taking"
Well, he sat down in the sand
And he took his shoes off
And he s rambled on benеath the misty moon
He said
"The sеcret- I've spent more than I've saved
And I've kept more than I gave
But, I believe there is love
Enough for the taking"
"Well, it covers us like rain
It washes and it stains
Poured out from heaven's cup
For you and me to drink it up
And in stubborn spite of my stubborn spite
I am loved nonetheless
I am loved all the more
And I believe there is love
Enough for the taking"
Well I watched him empty out his
Pockets and take his shirt off
And he smiled awhile at something in his mind
He said, "The secret of this life is
Found in blood and sacrifice and so you see
There is love enough for the taking"
"Well, it covers us like rain
Well it washes and it stains
Poured out from heaven's cup
For you and me to drink it up
And in stubborn spite of my stubborn spite
I am loved nonetheless loved all the more
And I believe there is love
Enough for the taking"
He said it would not be
Long 'till he was leaving
Then I saw this boat appear before my eyes
Then the man began to run, crying out
"My time has come hallelujah
There is love enough for the taking"
It covers us like rain
Well it washes and it stains
(The concert's not over)
Poured out from heaven's cup
For you and me to drink it up
And in stubborn spite of my stubborn spite
I am loved nonetheless
I am loved all the more
And I believe there is love
Enough for the taking
There is love enough for the taking
(Now it's over! See you guys later
Thank you for coming)
