Swing Low - Gabriel Rios

I spend my days back on it

I wear the knowing face

You cast your lines out, pulling me up

And at a roaring pace

I unravel through the motions

While I’m standing in one place

I’ll offer my devotion

I’ll sing along with you

Side by side and all the while

I’m miles away from you

And caught inside the orbit

That no one else can trace

Swing your cannon ball

And hit upon this place

Dust of my impurities

And molten my disgrace

On that chain oh pendulum

Roll down

And on that mighty chain

Swing low, swing low

See some of us hear voices

Some of us take pills

Some are dragging forces

They think no one else can feel

But if everyone is ocean

Then everyone’s erosion

Swing your cannon ball

And hit upon this place

Dust of my impurities

And molten my disgrace

On that chain oh pendulum

Roll down

And on that mighty chain

Swing low, swing low

So come right in old friend of mine

You can have my whole collection

The savage hum of broken dreams

Thoughts with no correction

The woven man inside of me

Behind this thinnest veil

Hands that hide behind my hands

The long unfurling tail

Swing low cannon ball

And hit upon this place

Dust of my impurities

And moons out from my face

On that chain oh pendulum

Roll down

And on that mighty chain

Swing low, swing low
