lyrics

Rusted Bell
c. Kerripowerssongs, BMI

Mama said, “Baby’s got to hold on; wait awhile for the sun to rise.”
I said, “Mama, I’m trying to hold on, but this darkness isn’t light
The rain ain’t wind, and the wind ain’t rain
But our truth’s become such lies
Mama, it’s getting hard to hold on

Papa said, “Baby, we can’t run and hide from the thunder as it cracks.”
I said, “Papa, it’s not the rumbling sky; I’m afraid of the lightning facts
When power and hunger pull us under
How we gonna get back
Papa, it’s getting hard to hold on

He said,
“Hear that rusted bell,
Ringing, ringing
Hear that broken child
Singing, singing
Listen for the bells

INSTRU.

Well, Mama says, “We can’t turn away from the fruit of a better day”
I said, “Mama, I’m trying hard to stay with the pull and chain of the weight
Dragging this world, trouble unfurled
What will it take?
Mama, there’s no time for turning away

She said,
“Hear that rusted bell,
Ringing, ringing
Hear that broken child
Singing, singing
Listen for the bells
Listen, listen
