Lyrics
?Bring the Jubilee?
©2004 Capers Simmons
VERSE I
Let the fields lie fallow
Leave the grapes on the vine
Unbolt the doors on the silo
Break out the barley and wine
PRECHORUS I
Forty-nine years fraught with blood, sweat, and tears
As we struggled to grow what we reap
Now all of creation joins in celebration,
We?re free
CHORUS I
Bring the Jubilee
Bring the Jubilee
The fruit of our labor?s been tasted
And, Lord, it is sweet
Bring the Jubilee
VERSE II
Lay down your basket and sickle
Lay down your barrow and plow
Feel as your heartbeats all quicken
The moment you?ve wanted is now
PRECHORUS II
Forty-nine times ?round the sun in the sky
And each one leaves lines ever deep
But now young and old can reach out and take hold
Of their dreams
~ CHORUS I ~
VERSE III
Raise your voice and be joyful
Let your sorrows all fade
Let the world stop its circle
Let tomorrow be late
CHORUS II
Bring the Jubilee
Bring the Jubilee
Now all of creation joins in celebration,
We?re free
Bring the Jubilee
~ CHORUS I ~
