Redemption Blues - Alejandro Escovedo

Who will fight tomorrow?

Who will fight today?

Who will fight tomorrow?

Who will change their ways?

I hear a baby crying all night long

I hear his mother crying all night long

Son it burns like hell

It burns a mother clean

Son it burns a hole

A hole in a baby’s dream

I wish my father would come

I wish my mother would not cry all night long

Someday I’ll find some redemption

I’ll find a little peace

Blue steel for protection

Blue steel is my guide

Need a little lovin'

From the other side

My ancestors I wish they would come

Help my mother stop from crying all night long

Find some redemption

Someday I’ll find

I’ll find a little peace
