lirik lagu the blanket (1984) – jack hardy
[verse 1]
life begins and life it ends
all on this night of winter’s woe
hanging to their sacred pain
the children scurry to and fro
and i await the child who’s born
wait to hold his blanket form
and i can hear his painful cries
deep inside where i cannot grow
[chorus]
have you seen the child i’ll hold
blanketed against the cold?
leaving by that very door
only a fool could ask for more
can you please make his cries be heard and
k!ll his hunger with peaceful words?
[verse 2]
outside the walls the winter falls
blanketing the countryside
the poor stay poor and the rich they hide
the poor have children and the rich preside
and willie, he taunts me when he’s juiced
that i am the father of his child
i toss and turn the moral loose
am i alone in pacing these halls?
[chorus]
have you seen the child i’ll hold
blanketed against the cold?
leaving by that very door
only a fool could ask for more
can you please make his cries be heard and
k!ll his hunger with peaceful words?
[verse 3]
and what shall i call this child of mine?
be it connor or brian or bridget divine
his former life a secret now
be it criminal or saint with sacred vow
and these b*n*l forms of colonial pride
though naked we came from the maker
we’ll dress him in what clothes he likes
and lower him in his cradle
[chorus]
have you seen the child i’ll hold
blanketed against the cold?
leaving by that very door
only a fool could ask for more
can you please make his cries be heard and
k!ll his hunger with peaceful words?
