"Redemption Blues" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

Who will fight tomorrow?
Who will fight today?
Who will fight tomorrow?
Who will change their ways?
I hear a baby crying all night long
I hear his mother crying all night long
Son it burns like hell
It burns a mother clean
Son it burns a hole
A hole in a baby's dream
I wish my father would come
I wish my mother would not cry all night long

[Chorus:]
Someday I'll find some redemption
I'll find a little peace

Blue steel for protection
Blue steel is my guide
Need a little lovin'
From the other side
My ancestors I wish they would come
Help my mother stop from crying all night long

[Chorus:]
Find some redemption
Someday I'll find
I'll find a little peace
