Soon We Will Be Done by Kyle Pederson

Angelica Cantanti Youth Choirs - Cantanti Singers (Gr. 9-12) https://www.angelicacantanti.org/ Minneapolis, MN Recorded 5/25, Orchestra Hall https://www.kylepederson.com/ Done with hatred and done with war come, lift the lonely, come lift up the poor Soon we will be done with the troubles of the world when heaven comes to earth No more weepin' and wailin' when heaven comes to earth Done... with the racism and sexism and all the isms and prisons that bind us, that blind us from the hurt of another I want to be done... done with addiction, with any affliction that takes a hold and won't let go and speaks in lies and fiction. I want to be done... done with the things that divide us instead of unite us, like the walls we build, the hate instilled, as we fill with judgement inside us I want to be done... done with the violence, and the silence when facing injustice, but I wonder if you'd trust us if love was our compass. SOON, when we come together, when WE stand up for each other, we WILL offer these hands and feet and BE love, compassion and grace; come heaven to earth; we will be DONE.
