Out of this Mud

from Slivers of Light by Secretary Michael

lyrics

Out of this Mud, Out of this crud
Out of this scum, Beauty will come.
Flowers will bloom, Roses will bud,
Clover will sprout, Out of this Mud

Berries and beans
Melons and greens
Sweet tangerines

This muddy waste will be replaced
Fallow no more, let the mud roar
Apples will fall, grain will grow tall
Feeding us all

I COME FROM EARTH TO TAKE MY TURN
AND TO THE EARTH I WILL RETURN
I COME FROM EARTH TO TAKE MY TURN
AND TO THE EARTH I WILL RETURN. I WILL RETURN
BUT FEEL IT MY DUTY TO DO SO WITH BEAUTY

Out of this Mud, Out of this crud
Out of this scum, Beauty will come
Still at the gate, stuck in the mire,
Spinning my tire, Now I am late.

But this I know, I can still change, I can still grow
This muddy waste will be replaced
Fallow no more, let the mud roar
Out of this mud, Out of this crud
Out of this body and Out of this blood
Out of this scum, before I’m done
Beauty will come
