lyrics

THE NOMAD by Rosie Jackson, 2022

What is home to a nomad?
What is water to fire?
What is grace to the fallen?
Is compassion for hire?

What is gold to the wealthy?
What is water to the fish?
What is anger to the Buddha?
Do you know your last wish?

We will reply that new rules apply
Love has a say, love shows the way
Lessons to learn, error to spurn
Light shows the way to the new day

What is hunger to the hungry?
What is strength to the weak?
What is fate to the weary?
And what joy do you seek?

What are children to the fathers?
What are mothers to the child?
What is family to loners?
What is tame to the wild?

We will reply that new rules apply
Love has a say, love shows the way
Lessons to learn, error to spurn
Light shows the way to the new day

What is a brush to a painter?
What is singing to birds?
What are tunes to a dancer?
When is truth too absurd?

What is hatred to the lover?
What is strength to the feint?
What is hope to the loser?
What is faith to the saint?

We will reply that new rules apply
Love has a say, love shows the way
Lessons to learn, error to spurn
Light shows the way to the new day

What is peace to the fighter?
What is sight to the blind?
What is space to the traveler?
What is force to the kind?

What are bridges to the river?
What are mountains to seas?
Where are oceans to sail on?
What is waiting for me?
We will reply that new rules apply
Love has a say, love shows the way
Lessons to learn, error to spurn
Light shows the way to the new day
