1
The chosen ones are walking through the new desert
2
All the way uptown to Riverside
3
The faces of the fathers
4
They look a lot like mine
5
But I watch them from across the great divide
6
Today they have all been forgiven
7
Washed clean before another year begins
8
Me I'm playing in the park with my children
9
And I pray that they forgive my sins
10
This is my sanctuary
11
On this High Holy Day
12
I lay down the burdens I carry
13
In my sanctuary
14
The forgotten ones
15
Were screaming from the rooftops
16
A thousand souls had all been washed away
17
Everyone was told
18
The levees wouldn't hold
19
Now the mourners are marching everyday
20
And the music keeps rights on playing
21
'Cause of all the places water wouldn't fall
22
It wasn't the churches or the chapels
23
It was down at the Preservation Hall
24
"This is my sanctuary"
25
You could almost hear the ghost of some old trumpet player say
26
"Lay down the burdens you carry
27
In my sanctuary"
28
The chosen ones are all still searching
29
Waiting for the savior to appear
30
While you and me
31
We congregate in mystery
32
And I listen to you whisper in my ear
33
This is my sanctuary
34
Brothers and sisters let us pray
35
I lay down the burdens I carry
36
In my sanctuary
