PSALM 23 Martin's Song [ bluegrass ] There is a land of sunny skies Past where the four winds blow Where storm clouds no longer rise And clear peaceful waters flow. . . Come on with us to Eden’s garden Take a little drink from freedom’s fountain Take a little trip up to the mountain Have a little drink from freedom’s fountain Sing, Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na na na na na Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na na na na na        Come up to the mountaintop and hear the angles sing        Let’s sing Martin’s song now, yeah let freedom ring        Let peace and justice roll on down and like a river flow        How long?—not long, let my people go        Don’t look back at a past where we once went wrong        Get on the track to freedom and let’s sing Martin’s song        If we gain the world but lose our soul, what do we really gain?        Let's lose our excess baggage and hop on freedom’s train        Come down to the river, let’s all sing Martin’s song        Peace in the valley, yeah you know it won’t be long        Night will soon be falling and our work will be done        How long?—not long, we shall overcome        Yeah, ‘till the final trumpet blows at history’s setting sun        How long?—not long, we shall overcome        How long?—not long, we shall overcome        How long?—not long, we shall overcome Come on with us to Eden’s garden Take a little drink from freedom’s fountain Take a little trip up to the mountain Have a little drink from freedom’s fountain Sing, Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na na na na na Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na na na na na. . .
