asa, asa, hey!
let's go out to play
it's such a gorgeous day
we'll blow away the gray
the rain has stopped and tv's boring
it's green and blue as a brand new morning
let's ride our bikes from here to santa fe
the rain has stopped and the sun is shining
the robin’s singing, the swallows’ flying
we'll keep on riding 'til san francisco bay
digging cities of holes and tunnels
building forts in fantastic jungles
we'll sip hot choc-o-late in mud cafes
chasing lizards catching spiders
pretending we're some freedom fighters--
you can be fidel, and i'll be che

joey’s strutting down the street
knows everyone he meets–
from housewives to the police,
especially the hometown priest
letter jacket, undefeated,
designated student leader
big dreams burning bright
fighting off the looming night
oh joey no joey
in the church, the sacred place,
under white skirts of satin, lace–
oily unction, polished wood,
wine spilled, violent flood…
he’s just a kid, just a kid–
doesn’t know what he did,
but he knows that it’s bad
never tell mom or dad
oh joey no joey
heavy suitcase in his soul–
zipped and buried down a deep hole
it’s his fault—he’s to blame–
he’s the one because father john can’t sin
joe is staring down the street–
it’s all slabs of thick concrete
rusted rebar in his bones
deep dark, afraid and lost at home
oh joey no joey

tomas:
i was shipwrecked, stranded on the shores of a war
a conscript/soldier of who knows what for—
my older, younger, youngest scattered away…
now this dew-wet babe born in from the dark
beaming boy, innocent spark
lit the homeless hollows of my soul
i have found my brother
i have found my brother
i have found my brother
theo:
fatherless child so serious and still
shepherd of lost lambs with football skills
straight a science almost all the way
dew-wet soldier born in from this war
relax your vigil because there’s nothing more,
what you are is not just what you do—
what you do is not what drew me in to you—
there’s only one thing pulled me in to you, and that is…
i have found my brother
i have found my brother
i have found my brother
