about

lyrics

She came into this country
Like many have before
Some were native to the land
Some just washed ashore
Some came fleeing poverty
Some came fleeing strife
All of them came looking
For a better way of life

Is it really a crime
Or the luck of the draw
That put her in a church today
Hounded by the law
There’s a greater law than man’s
In Heaven high above
If ‘Follow the law’ is what you say
What about the Law of Love?

We all came here from someplace
Somewhere back in time
Some came here legally
Some came on the sly
It all got mixed up long ago
In that big old melting pot
I guess that’s ancient history
That some of us forgot

Is it through your own virtue
Or the luck of the draw
That it’s her instead of you today
Hounded by the law
There’s a greater law than man’s
In Heaven high above
If ‘Follow the law’ is what you say
What about the Law of Love?

If ‘Follow the law’ is what you say
What about the law of love?

about

Dan Sullivan Kalamazoo, Michigan

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
