<strong>Song of Praise </strong><br /><br /><br /> Sing the song then, let it sound <br /> through the land. The song that now<br /> keeps us alive, when the other noise<br /><br /> is there to kill us, to deaden our ears<br /> to the song of our selves that<br /> these musicians sing. Let the force of it<br /><br /> make its way into our hearts<br /> in the last days of this era, <br /> this error less human men have made<br /><br /> of our time. The time is now, that we can make<br /> a true song of our selves, a music that will<br /> open all of our I's to each<br /><br /> other. Let such a man as<br /> Jimmy Garrison be your base, you can<br /> build on a music strong as his<br /><br /> & make your time as free as<br /> Elvin's, your touch as McCoy's, your song as<br /> pure as Trane's, sing a song<br /><br /> as strong as theirs, a song of praise<br /> for all the humans on earth, & for the love<br /> of all of our selves'<br /><br /> a song to lead us on<br /> in this cold december<br /> of a long & murderous year<br /><br /><br /><br /> <em>Detroit<br /> December 6, 1965/<br /> New Orleans<br /> December 4, 1995</em>
