There’s no use trying
There’s too much to do
I mean, living ain’t livin’
For me or my crew
Night shifts at diners
Across town to open your store
We spend all our time getting by
There’s no time for anymore
Yet you call us selfish,
Say we got it easy today
But if we had something to spare
We’d give it all away
There’s no use getting’ up
It hurts when we fall
Ain’t no one around here
To lean on at all
We don’t need your diamonds
We don’t need your gowns and black ties
Don’t need a thing that you’ve got;
We’ve just got to get by
I know you hear us
We don’t expect your hand
All that we ask is a spot upon the ground when we stand
Like Mama had
Never were islands
Mama would know
For she made the oceans
She knows deeper and deeper they go
Strange accusations
Disconnected from the plan
You can’t see the ground for the dirt
Can’t see the soul for the man
Although we have fought
Still I need you
I pray one day you’ll have the thought
The thought that you need me too
Like Mama did

Green Altar has special place in my heart, such a beautiful song with touching words. It came out shortly before our wedding and we had our first dance to it, weeks after the wedding we saw and met chelsea and she congratulated us, this song always stirs up all the emotions moises9598
Medicine is one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums I've ever had to privilege to hear. It helped me get more in touch with my own self, spirituality and nature. It certainly lives up to its name. The flutes, drumming and percussion are just wonderful. This is a great album to let play all the way through. pimblycharles
