I've	stumbled on the side of		twelve misty		mountains		I saw a newborn baby with		wild wolves all a-		round it
I've	walked and I’ve crawled on		six crooked		highways		I saw a highway of		diamonds with nobody		on it
I've	stepped in the middle of		seven sad		forests		I saw a black branch with		blood that kept		drippin’
I've	swam in the middle of a		dozen dead		oceans		I saw a room full of men		with their hammers a-		bleedin’
I've	been ten thousand miles in the		mouth of a		graveyard		I saw a white ladder		all covered with		water
							I saw ten thousand talkers whose		tongues were all		broken
	Refrain2						I saw guns and sharp swords in the		hands of young		children

	I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’						I met a young child beside a dead pony
	Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world						I met a white man who walked a black dog
	Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’						I met a young woman whose body was burning
	Heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’						I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
	Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’						I met one man who was wounded in love
	Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter						I met another man who was wounded with hatred
	Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley

	I’m a-goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’						And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
	I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest						And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
	Where the people are many and their hands are all empty						Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
	Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters						But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
	Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
	Where the executioner’s face is always well hidden
	Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
	Where black is the color, where none is the number
