[Oe List ...] Half a song rewritten Washington's broken, Cairo is reeling.

[James Wiegel]

Tune:  Morning Has Broken

Washington's broken, Cairo is reeling
Abidjan's struggling,Madison's hot
Ourselves inventing, ever becoming, never completed, 
Always undone.

All life is given, creatures of fortune, 
No one for blaming, never excused
Climate is changing, crude oil is waning, many complaining,
What will we do?

Eight billion people soon will be present
Cities expanding, wild places hemmed in,
I am accepted, dearly beloved, endlessly chosen,
Servant of all.

Anchored securely, wholly united,
Warring gods fallen, painful relief
This century's waiting, young ones engaging, old ones are cheering
Let's get it on.
