12 Mortal Men Lyrics by Suzanne Vega

Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers

0

Where I'm from
\nThere's poverty
\nAll kinds of inequality
\n
\nNobody comes here
\nNobody leaves
\n
\nDon't have to go far
\nEven to see
\nThe Whipping Report
\nIn the library
\nHear one voice
\nStart singing
\nIn the dirt
\nTwelve picks are ringing
\n
\nNobody comes here
\nNobody leaves
\n
\nDon't have to go far
\nEven to see
\n12 mortal men bound
\nIn a song of liberty
\n
\nDon't have to go far
\nThe music I hear
\nIs 12 mortal men singing
\nIn ecstasy and fear
\n
\nIn my heart
\nI see a crowd
\nA thousand, souls marching and proud
\n
\nEveryone gathered
\nEach one is loved\n\n
