The Long Great Mile © R. Leschen (February 17, 2007)

 

*Have you gone dow= n into the river, have you slept beneath the moon,=

Have you walked th= e long great mile, through the streets of Geraldine?

 <= /span>

From the fields of= sweet Montgomery, to the house on Washington Hill,

There are words of reparation, and healin’ the sick and the = ill.*

 <= /span>

How much for the n= oble village, composed of broken homes,

Oh the blast out i= n the distance: the cost that freedom brings.*

 <= /span>

There’s a st= ar hung up in heaven, whose tail drags in the sky,

When the night is = clear and contented, he looks down on paradise.*
