I Had No Right

god of the poor man, this is how the day began, eight codefendants, i daniel
Berrigan, and only a layman's batch of napalm. we pulled the draft files out,
We burned them in the parking lod, better the files than the bodies of
Children. i had no right but, for the love of you. i had no right, but for
The love of you. many roads led here, walked with the suffering, tom in
Guatemala, philip in new orleans it's a long road from law to justice. i went
To vietnam, i went for peace, they dropped their bombs, right where my
Government knew i would be. i had no right, but for the love of you. i had no
Right, but for the love of you. and all my country saw were priests who broke
The law. first it was question, then it was a mission, how to be american, how
To be a christian, if the law is their cross, and the cross is burning.
Aaaaah--the love of you. aaaaah--the love of you. god of the just, i'll never
Win a peace prize, falling like jesus, now let the jury rise, it's all of us
Versus all that paper. they
Took the only way, they know who is on trial today, deliaver us unto each
Other this day-- i had no right, but for the love of you. i had no right but
For the love of you
