John Gorka – Zuly Lyrics
Artist: John Gorka
Song: Zuly
And the good earth shook the day that Jesus was reborn
In Anchorage, March 27th, 1964
When He came back this time though
It was as a baby girl
Her parents said her mission
Was the same
To save the world
God looked down, and said
“Oh the times, they are a’changing
I will send my only daughter
As soon as I complete the staging.”
All the land shook and rolled
And split, there was no warning
Except Gabriel had told the mom
She’d arrive Good Friday morning
And so it came to pass
That her parents named her Zuly
A bright and happy child
Also willful and unruly
The birds would come and visit her
They wished they could take her with them
When they left their roosts for winter
She would always miss them
Zuly won a scholarship
Though classes mostly bored her
She loved the other students though
The teachers all adored her
“We learned more from her,” they said
“Than we could ever teach her
But there were times
When we just could not reach her.”
She said, “We are here
To love each other, that is all.”
And organized religion
That’s comparatively small
Not that I don’t love all those
So-called holy ones
But why are there so few daughters
Among the leaders of My sons?
Now she runs a charter boat
On Resurrection Bay
She takes tourists to see
The wild creatures every summer’s day
In fall she teaches bush kids
At the boarding school in Sitka
On those long December nights
She is the light of winter…
