Blessed Are

Artist：joan baez

Songs Title：blessed are

BLESSED ARE THE ONE-WAY TICKET

HOLDERS ON THE ONE-WAY STREET

BLESSED ARE THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS

WHO IN THE SHADOW OF GOD THEY SLEEP

BLESSED ARE THE HOT OLD HIKERS

STARING OUT AT FALLING RAIN

WON'DRING AT THE RETRIBUTION

IN THEIR PERSONAL ACQUAINTANCE WITH PAIN

BLESSED ARE THE BLOOD RELATIONS

OF THE YOUNG ONES WHO HAVE DIED

WHO HAD NOT THE TIME OR PATIENCE

TO CARRY ON THIS EARTHLY LIFE

RAIN WILL COME AND WINDS WILL BLOW

WILD DEER IN THE MOUNTAIN SNOW

BIRDS WILL BEAT AT HEAVEN'S WALL

WHAT COMES TO ONE MUST COME TO US ALL

WELL YOU AND I ARE ON THE ONE-WAY TICKET

HOLDERS ON THAT ONE-WAY STREET

WHICH LLIES ACROSS A GOLDEN VALLEY

WHERE THE WATER OF JOY AND HOPE RUN DEEP

SO IF YOU PASS THE PARENTS WEEPING

OF THE YOUNG ONES WHO HAVE DIED

TAKE THEM TO YOUR WARMTH AND KEEPING

FOR BLESSED ARE THE TEARS THEY CRIED

AND MANY WERE THE TEARS THEY CRIED

TAKE THEM TO THE VALLEY WIDE

AND LET THEIR SOULS BE PACIFIED
