lyrics

The sky’s on fire in my neighborhood
People are starting to run, run
Somebody shout about “God is good”
And maybe Jesus will come, come
I saw the city it was under attack
Coulda been Hollywood
They showed the footage on CNN
From every angle round and round again
In a cul-de-sac, pouring ice down a nation’s back..

But if God has a plan, then I don’t understand
How His love for every man - it comes and goes
Comes and goes…
If this country’s like a seed
Plant it deep inside of me
And I still believe that love
Will make it grow

I see a window and it’s closing fast
You better hurry - slip through the cracks
Don’t go in there it could be boobytrapped
In sixty seconds..this place is past
Now all the reasons that you knew before
Have left you wondering
More and more and more
If you’re safe at all
Anyplace that you call home (oh no)

But if God has a plan, then I don’t understand
How His love for every man - it comes and goes
Comes and goes…
If this country’s like a seed
Plant it deep inside of me
And I’ll still believe that love
Will make it grow

Only love can make a change
Only love can rearrange
Only love and only love alone
Only love can right the wrong
Only love can rise above
Only love can ease your pain
With a song

King Mixer Chicago, Illinois

King Mixer is both musical ensemble and performing alias of Chicago singer/songwriterEric Howell. LP studio guests feature members of Smoking Popes, NRBQ, BoDeans and Off Broadway. At a moment when guitars are fighting for a place in modern music King Mixer offers up deliberately schizophrenic rock, which grows more satisfying with each genre-defying turn, written and produced by Howell. ... more
