Millennium for All Songtext
von John K. Samson

This is where we come up with a larger plan
This is where we study for the nurse exam
This is where we spend a part of every day
Thinking in a language that they tried to take away
This is where the sad lamp on the second floor
Leads us through a winter afternoon

Here is a branch where we sing out the call
Millennium for all


This is where we test out our replacement knees
This is where we′re knitting mitts for refugees
This is where we medicate in bathroom stalls
This is where we call home from a payphone down the hall
This is where we work the circulation desk
While counting out a haiku in our head

Here is a branch where we sing out the call
Millennium for all

This is where we worry over breaking news
This is where we read a hundred Nancy Drews
This is where we're difficult and can′t sit still
This is where we come in from the fields like with a wind chill
This is where we find the hour of sleep we lost
Wake up knowing what we need to say

Here is a branch where we sing out the call
Millennium for all

Here is a branch where we sing out the call
Millennium for all
Millennium for all
