5th Avenue (From "A Conversation with America")
I went walking out on 5th Avenue
I have returned and
The world is new
Streets are crying and
Just with a glance
Feel the reckoning
With it a chance?
Down on 5th Avenue
Where the sky is blue.
I get the feeling that we're running away
Many contradictions and they're all in play
And on such a day hope is misused
Don't believe the fake news out on 5th Avenue
She's crying tears for the land of the free
A requiem for American dreams
"Break it up" - he wants to "break it or bleed"
I say: "beware of the violence you've freed"
Down on 5th Avenue
Where the sky is blue.
I get the feeling that we're running away
Gotta get to healing now - come what may
And on such a day hope is misused
Don't believe the fake news on 5th Avenue
The streets are crying
There is a healing
Down of 5th Avenue
