Jubilee

Jubilee-Gretchen Peters

I got nothing to hold me here

my old friends have all moved on and disappeared

it won’t be long now ’til I fly

but oh my dear ones how I hate to say goodbye

so I sing holy holy from this prison where i lie

my arms reaching up to touch the sky

I sing holy holy, hallelujah I am free

come on down and join the jubilee

I don’t hunger and I don’t thirst

there is nothing that I need upon this earth

my body’s broken but not my soul

you know it’s love and only love that’s made me whole

so I sing holy holy from this prison where i lie

my arms reaching up to touch the sky

I sing holy holy, hallelujah I am free

come on down and join the jubilee

I’m an orphan thirty years on

now I miss my father’s voice and my mother’s arms

I was you once, and now you’re me

it’s in this circle that we make a family

and I sing holy holy from this prison where i lie

my arms reaching up to touch the sky

I sing holy holy, hallelujah I am free

come on down and join the jubilee

come on down and join the jubilee
