Political Silver

Song and Lyrics by Eric H Janzen

The chorus for this song came unbidden to my mind as I was out for a pleasant walk recently. The rest followed naturally afterwards.

Verse 1

And it's quiet up

On the mountain top

There's no one there

But the Voice doesn't stop

Chorus

I saw your prophets

Trade their gifts

For thirty pieces of polished

Political silver

Verse 2

In the lonely valley

The Wind blows

There's no one there singing

But Life still stirs the dry bones

Chorus

Bridge

I feel like a coward

Still hiding from the past

Whatever happened to

The last shall be first

And first shall be last?

Verse 3

Jonah rises from the hill

Realizes the fire was

For his own soul

Feeling pretty empty

But kind of whole

Chorus
