lirik lagu martyn joseph - clara
[verse 1]
she’s born in palmerton, pennsylvania
in 1902
she’s a black girl in a white world
but still love gets through
she’s hired at the age of fourteen
to nanny a baby boy child
whose parents are disappointed
and wish that he had not arrived
[verse 2]
through long nights she’ll hold him close
and sing gently in his ear
and the day that he’s taken from her
is her greatest fear
now ninety~one, she sits in the sun
with fading photographs
had no children of her own, just these memories
and wonders if he’s still alive?
[verse 3]
was too young to remember her
so he grows up and he doesn’t know
but the scars of rejection that run deep
have pierced a soul
so one day a young man walks into the mountains
to take his life
he lies down with his face to the stars
for one last time
[verse 4]
maybe it’s the breeze on his face
or the shadow moon across his eyes
somehow the ghost of a melody is ushered in
and to his surprise
it raids the landscape
and invades his heart
shines light where there was none
he gets up and he walks out alive
[chorus]
i hope we all have a clara
singing songs unknown
songs for the healing
and songs for the coming home
for the coming home
[verse 5]
now it’s his seventy~seventh year
and he’s made his mark
helped countless people with writings of wisdom
and great love from his heart
receives a letter from a woman
that he does not know
wondering if he was born in palmerton
a long time ago
[verse 6]
the coming home is a blessed reunion
hands on his face, “it is you”
and they talk all day of a lost childhood
of which he will now change his view
before they part she sings gently to him
but he knows he’s heard it before
it wasn’t the breeze or the moon across those mountains
it was clara’s love call
[chorus]
i hope we all have a clara
singing songs unknown
songs for the healing
and songs for the coming
i hope we all have a clara
singing songs unknown
songs for the healing
and songs for the coming home
for the coming home
for the coming home
