Oh, my Anacostia -
do not sigh, do not weep -
beneath the overpass
your saviour's waiting patiently
walking on the water,
that flow with poisons
from the naval yard.
He's talking to fallen reeds.
What will become of us?
A small, red sun makes way for night -
trails away like a tail light.
Is that Jesus on the water
talking to the fallen trees?
What will become of us?
do not sigh, do not weep -
beneath the overpass
your saviour's waiting patiently
walking on the water,
that flow with poisons
from the naval yard.
He's talking to fallen reeds.
What will become of us?
A small, red sun makes way for night -
trails away like a tail light.
Is that Jesus on the water
talking to the fallen trees?
What will become of us?
This song is from the album "The Hope Six Demolition Project".
