Spreading The News

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Mickey Hart

A new song on Mickey Hart's album "RAMU", with vocals by Tarriona "Tank" Ball, and with Steve Kimock on guitar.

Of speaking out with passion
In what you do believe
Redeemng thought with action
In truth and word and deed

Not for sake of fashion
Not for credit or for fame
Not this generation, please
More of the same

It might not be so clear
But in its smallness lies its power
A single petal on a rose
A moment in the hour

I been singing in the valley
I been preaching on the hill
Concerning truth and justice
About saying what you will

I do not have an answer
Such answers can't be found
Keep one eye on the future
And the other on home ground

The other on home ground
Keep one eye on the future
And the other on home ground

This is my homeland
My faith and my song
Beyond confusion
Of right or of wrong

Speak with conviction
Believe in your worth
The equal of any
Soul on this earth

Speak with conviction
Believe in your worth
The equal of any
Soul on this earth

This is my homeland
My faith and my song
Beyond all confusion
Of right or wrong

Speak with conviction
Believe in my worth
The equal of any
Soul on this earth

This is my homeland
My faith and my song
Beyond all confusion
Of right or wrong

Speak with conviction
Believe in your worth
The equal of any
