lyrics

there’s an almond blossoming in Jerusalem
the buds on a fig tree becoming tender again
and the mountains are clapping their hands
oh and every tree, every last one
is reaching up
up towards the heavens

and yet—Egyptian chariots, we place our trust in them
there are bombs dropping from planes unmanned
and it burns like an arrow of fire
yes it burns like a branding iron
but it only burns for the motherless child
and every family, every last one
I saw standing there that day
they were taking a picture
in front of the covenant with death
it is a covenant with hell

Air and Space Museum, you must have lost your mind
oh you prideful nation, did you ever have a mind?
I believe that Jesus he will decide
I proclaim that Jesus he will decide
if it is that Rome is on I-95
oh and every citizen with ears to hear the call
the smoke is rising up so tall
has signed their name
on a perishing line

why waste so much, why waste so much precious time?
when you can float downstream in the living water, be grafted to the vine?

*from the halls of the power to the fortress tower
not a stone will be left upon a stone
let the king beware for your justice tears
every tyrant from his throne*

There’s an almond blossoming in Jerusalem
The buds on a fig tree becoming tender again

about

Ears to the Ground Family image

Ears to the Ground Family Harrisonburg, Virginia

Ears to the Ground Family is a minimal, totally acoustic group with guitar, hand percussion, and banjo. They have a serious focus on lyrical content and sometimes achieve a body-shivering vocal harmony. They make music of resistance to oppression and empire, of communities of hope, and of a faith that sustains us. Our tunes draw from R&B, spiritual, soul, folk/americana, chant, hip-hop, and jazz. ... more
