When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight

When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks

When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates

When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake

When the birds are heard again in their singin'

Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin’ shame

And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'

With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came

When the man who gives the order

Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back

When the bodies starvin' at the border

Are on TV givin' people the sack

Oh, when the sea rises to meet us

Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do

Oh, when there’s nobody upstairs to receive us

When I have no kind words left, love for you
