Pale Moon Resilience

down in the delta where the cotton fields sway rivers run muddy carrying the pain away voices rise up from the heart of the night singing of sorrow under that pale moonlight chains of the past they rattle and moan but the soul keeps fighting never alone oh the blues they call to me born from the fire of misery blue notes bending tearing the air resilience rising beyond despair hardships whispering every line emotions river deep and divine you african rhythms mixed with the cry of folks who lay beneath a burning sky 12 bars building like a heartbeat slow guitar weeps soft harmonica blows from the deep south shadows a story unfolds of broken dreams mending and songs untold oh the blues they call to me born from the fire of misery blue notes bending tearing the air resilience rising beyond despair hardships whispering every line emotions river deep and divine call and response echo through the pines vocals raw and ragged crossing the line oh the blues they call to me born from the fire of misery blue notes bending tearing the air resilience rising beyond the space hardships whispering every line emotions river deep and divine oh the blues they call to me vocals raw and ragged crossing the line emotions river deep and divine oh the blues they call to me no fancy lights just truth in the dark igniting the spirit leaving its mark from the cradle of struggle this music was born turning the wounded into the stone now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil now it travels north to the city streets electric fire where the cold wind meets but the root stays deep in that southern soil where every note's forged from honest toil
