I Had No Right Lyrics - Singles - Dar Williams

God of the poor man this is how the day began 

Eight codefendants, i, daniel berrigan 

Oh and only a layman's batch of napalm 

We pulled the draft files out 

We burned them in the parking lot 

Better the files than the bodies of children 

 

I had no right but for the love of you 

I had no right but for the love of you 

 

Many roads led here, walked with the suffering 

Tom in guatamala, phillip in new orleans 

Oh it's a long road from law to justice 

I went to vietnam, I went for peace 

They dropped their bombs 

Right where my government knew I would be 

 

I had no right but for the love of you 

I had no right but for the love of you 

 

And all my country saw 

Were priests who broke the law 

 

First it was question, then it was a mission 

How to be american, how to be a christian 

Oh if their law is their cross and the cross is burning 

 

Aaaaaaaaah the love of you 

Aaaaaaaaah the love of you 

 

God of the just I'll never win a peace prize 

Falling like jesus 

Now let the jury rise 

Oh it's all of us versus all that paper 

They took the only way they know who is on trial today 

Deliver us unto each other, I pray 

 

I had no right but for the love of you 

And every trial I stood, I stood for you 

 

Eyes on the trial 

8am arrival 

Hands on the bible
