I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Raging through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arms
And a coat of solid gold
Cryin' for the very ones
That already had been sold
"Arise, arise" he cried so loud
In a voice without restraint
"Come out, you gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaintâ€
‽No martyrs are among you now
That you can call your own
So go your way accordingly
And know you're not alone"
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
I dreamed I was among the ones
That took him out to death
Well, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
And I pressed my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried
Yes, I pressed my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried
