History Now Lyrics - Livin' On A High Note - Mavis Staples

Born into a fight 

An inherited war 

Born to children left over from wars before wars 

And the wars before 

You do see a pattern right? 

Yet somehow our love doesn't die 

What do we do 

When it's history now? 

Do we go in like a surgeon? 

Do we go in like a bomb? 

How do we dismantle the sorrow and rage 

and pick up our scars off the ground? 

Those girls and boys who died 

and live for us so we an speak and love and be with you now.

You do see a pattern, right? 

Yet somehow our love doesn't die 

What do we do 

with this history now? 

Do we go in like a surgeon? 

Do we go in with boots on the ground? 

What do we do 

with this history now? 

Do we go in like a surgeon? 

Do we go in like a bomb? 

Will you help me dismantle the sorrow and 

pick up the scars off the ground? 

Those girls and boys who died 

and live for us so we could speak and love and be with you 

So we could speak and love and be with you 

So we could speak and love and be with you now.
