Marc Cohn - My Sanctuary Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The chosen ones are walking through the new desert
  • All the way uptown to Riverside
  • The faces of the fathers
  • They look a lot like mine
  • But I watch them from across the great divide
  • Today they have all been forgiven
  • Washed clean before another year begins
  • Me I'm playing in the park with my children
  • And I pray that they forgive my sins
  • This is my sanctuary
  • On this High Holy Day
  • I lay down the burdens I carry
  • In my sanctuary
  • The forgotten ones
  • Were screaming from the rooftops
  • A thousand souls had all been washed away
  • Everyone was told
  • The levees wouldn't hold
  • Now the mourners are marching everyday
  • And the music keeps rights on playing
  • 'Cause of all the places water wouldn't fall
  • It wasn't the churches or the chapels
  • It was down at the Preservation Hall
  • "This is my sanctuary"
  • You could almost hear the ghost of some old trumpet player say
  • "Lay down the burdens you carry
  • In my sanctuary"
  • The chosen ones are all still searching
  • Waiting for the savior to appear
  • While you and me
  • We congregate in mystery
  • And I listen to you whisper in my ear
  • This is my sanctuary
  • Brothers and sisters let us pray
  • I lay down the burdens I carry
  • In my sanctuary
