The Great Correction Lyrics - Joan Baez

Down on the corner of ruin and grace 

I'm growin weary of the human race 

Hold my lamp up in everyone's face 

Lookin for an honest man 

Everyone tied to the turnin wheel 

Everyone hidin from the things they feel 

Well the truth's so hard it just don't seem real 

The shadow across this land 

People round here don't know what it means 

To suffer at the hands of our american dreams 

They turn their backs on the grisly scenes 

Traced to the privileged sons 

They got their god they got their guns 

Got their armies and the chosen ones 

But we'll all be burnin in the same big sun 

When the great correction comes

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Down through the ages lovers of the mystery 

Been saying people let your love light shine 

Poets and sages all throughout history 

Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times 

It's the bitter end we've come down to 

The eye of the needle that we gotta get through 

But the end could be the start of something new 

When the great correction comes 

Down to the wire runnin out of time 

Still got hope in this heart of mine 

But the future waits on the horizon line 

For our daughters and our sons

I don't know where this train's bound 

Whole lotta people tryin to turn it around 

Gonna shout 'til the walls come tumbling down 

When the great correction comes 

Don't let me down 

When the great correction comes
