A Child Is Coming

(album: Blows Against The Empire - 1970)

Last electric Sunday morning waiting in the park for the dawn
Listening to all the animals in the Park and in the city beyond
Flashing with my lady. sky going black to blue
She said I got a surprise for you

A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you

What are we gonna do when Uncle Samuel comes around
Asking for the young one's name
And looking for the print of his hand for the files in their numbers game
I don't want his chances for freedom to ever be that slim
Let's not tell 'em about him

A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you, it's coming

I wanna see his head rise to mine
