"Flower In The Gun"
(feat. Victoria Canal)
We could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
What would I say to my son or to my daughter
If they came and asked me bout these days
What kinda reason could I give for all the hate that's standing in the way
Wish I could tell em that nobody's gonna judge them
And every stranger on the block is gonna love them
No bully in the world will ever hurt em
But I can't say that today
Woah-oh
No one could ever take your pride from you
Speak your truth and let your spirit fly
Cause we could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
What could I say to every woman who was ever told
By a man donl try to reach too high
What could I say to every girl who was betrayed
And told to keep the pain locked inside
Wish I could say nobody's ever judge me
Every stranger on the block is gonna love me
No bully in the world is gonna hurt me
But I can't say that today
Woah-oh
No one could ever take my pride from me
I'll speak my truth and let my spirit fly
Cause we could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
Ifs like somebody dropping a pebble into a pond
And sending ripples out to the world
Woah
Woah
Yeah
Yeah
Woah (Everybody say)
Woah
Yeah
Yeah
Woah
Woah (We could be the healing)
Yeah
Yeah
Woah (Everybody say)
Woah
Yeah
Cause We could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun (Flower in the gun)
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the flower in the gun

Marc Cohn - Walking In Memphis and Blind Boys of Alabama -
at Seattles Zoo Tunes Aug 2019
P1020336
Put on my blue suede shoes and
I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
I saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now, security did not see him
They just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
And she's down in the jungle room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Now, they've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis
Now, Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
