Dar Williams I had no Right Lyrics:
God of the poor man, this is how the day began,
Eight codefendants, I Daniel Berrigan, And only a
layman's batch of napalm. We pulled the draft
files out, We burned them in the parking lod,
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 Guatemala,
Philip in New Orleans 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, If the
law is their cross, and the cross is burning.
Aaaaah--the love of you. Aaaaah--the love of you.
God of the just, I'll never win a peace prize,
Falling like Jesus, now let the jury rise, It's
all of us versus all that paper. They took the
only way, they know who is on trial today,
Deliaver us unto each other this day-- I had no
right, but for the love of you. I had no right but
for the love of you
