IN THE KING'S HALL SUN (for Glenn Jordan)
14/06/2020
I loved when you took me chasing God
Up ahead and never looking over your shoulder
We knew everything when we were young
But relished all the questions, getting older
And you’re thoughts took us out there
But you always landed them, flesh on
In the hidden quiet moments of generosity
That’s where peace, love and justice got done.
And we’re standing in the King’s Hall sun
South Belfast basking in a saxophone wailing
The smile on our faces lighting the evening
Our big hearts and sweet souls are sailing
Between Atlantic City and Bangor pier
Our sails so full and the skies so clear
If we ever had the time again
Then I would make more time
In the meantime I’ll hear your whispering
In every Bruce Springsteen rhyme.
