Love, love and rage   Soon be the day   They sang as they swayed in the pews   Sang with love, love and rage   Soon be the day as they joined up to pray      Think of the power of song   And the history it brings along   And i can almost see sights   Of some hot Southern nights   Through blood rain tears will shine   Every night and by day      With love, love and rage   Soon be the day   They sang as they swayed in the pews   Sang with love, love and rage   Soon be the day as they joined up to pray      I'm hearin' some old singer sing   A song that out tale-tellers bring   It has been sung   Through cracked jaws, swollen tongues   In the land of the freed   Where they sang freedom rings      With love, love and rage   Soon be the day   They sang as they swayed in the pews   Sang with love, love and rage   Soon be the day as they joined up to pray      So now that I see where I am   I see race still determines   The bless from the damned   And the greatest of all historical shams   Is believing you cannot do something you can      So it's love, love and rage   Soon be the day   They sang as they swayed in the pews   Sang with love, love and rage   Soon be the day as they joined up to pray      And it's love, love and rage   Soon be the day   They sang as they swayed in the pews   Love, love and rage   Soon be the day as they joined up to pray
