Seals & Crofts - Blue Bonnet Nation lyrics

(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. . .
