Tell ‘Em Makoto! Songtext
von Voka Gentle

Long live the weeds
They grew up through my teens
Grew up through to trees

Long live those vines
Creep towards the light
Creeping all the time
Not so I might climb

I′m older now
I'm breaking through
Through all you lost
To all the hope I can′t see coming

(Mahalia Jackson)
God almighty, God above
Please look down and see my people through

I believe the sun and moon
Will shine up in the sky


With velvet wings unfurled
High up above this world

She circled down
Because I had cried out
She bade me up to mount
We flew out of this town

We, what are we?
Floated up
Felt alive
I could not see where I had come from

(Mahalia Jackson)
God almighty, God above
Please look down and see my people through


I believe the sun and moon
Will shine up in the sky
When the day is gray
I know it's just clouds passing by
He'll give peace and comfort
To every troubled mind
Come Sunday, oh, come Sunday
