(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1975)
From the album I'LL PLAY FOR YOU (1975)
Way down yonder in the Blue Bonnet Nation,
People been a-waiting just to hear his sweet name
Way down yonder where there's desolation,
People irresistibly drawn to his flame
Hungry for the life, I'm so hungry for the life
I know that it exists for lo, my lips have kissed
The feet of the century of his being
Way down yonder in the western reservation
People been a-waiting just to see some kind of change
Oh how I love to see daylight in the Texas sky up above, yes I do
Oh how I love to see daylight in the Texas sky up above, up above
Hungry for the words, so hungry for the words
The answers for a million years Sacrifice and human tears
Unfolding, cascading, perfect liberty
Way down yonder in the Blue Bonnet Nation,
People been a-waiting just to hear his sweet name
Way down yonder where there's desolation,
People irresistibly drawn to his flame
Oh how I love to see daylight in the Texas sky up above
