God of the poor man this is how the day began
   Eight codefendants, I, Daniel Berrigan
   Oh and only a layman's batch of napalm
   We pulled the draft files out
   We burned them in the parking lot
   Better the files than the bodies of children
  
   I had no right but for the love of you
   I had no right but for the love of you
  
   Many roads led here, walked with the suffering
   Tom in Guatamala, Phillip in New Orleans
   Oh it's a long road from law to justice
   I went to Vietnam, I went for peace
   They dropped their bombs
   Right where my government knew I would be
  
   I had no right but for the love of you
   I had no right but for the love of you
  
   And all my country saw
   Were priests who broke the law
  
   First it was question, then it was a mission
   How to be American, how to be a Christian
   Oh if their law is their cross and the cross is burning
  
   Aaaaaaaaah the love of you
   Aaaaaaaaah the love of you
  
   God of the just I'll never win a peace prize
   Falling like Jesus
   Now let the jury rise
   Oh it's all of us versus all that paper
   They took the only way they know who is on trial today
   Deliver us unto each other, I pray
  
   I had no right but for the love of you
   And every trial I stood, I stood for you
  
   Eyes on the trial
   8am arrival
   Hands on the bible
