Maybe the poet is gay
But he'll be heard anyway
Maybe the poet is drugged
But he won't stay under the rug
Maybe the voice of the spirit
In which case you'd better hear it
Maybe he's a woman
Who can touch you where you're human
Male female slave or free
Peaceful or disorderly
Maybe you and he will not agree
But you need him to show you new ways to see
Don't let the system fool you
All it wants to do is rule you
Pay attention to the poet
You need him and you know it
Put him up against the wall
Shoot him up with pentothal
Shoot him up with lead
You won't call back what's been said
Put him in the ground
But one day you'll look around
There'll be a face you don't know
Voicing thoughts you've heard before
Male female slave or free
Peaceful or disorderly
Maybe you and he will not agree
But you need him to show you new ways to see
Don't let the system fool you
All it wants to do is rule you
Pay attention to the poet
You need him and you know it
Toronto January 1982
Bruce Cockburn è un cantautore canadese nato nel 1945. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60, pubblicando album folk influenzati da artisti come Bob Dylan e Joni Mitchell. Nel corso degli anni '70, le sue canzoni hanno spesso esplorato temi di fede cristiana, ma in modo non didascalico, mettendo l'accento sulla compassione per il prossimo. Negli anni '80, la sua musica si è fatta più politica, con brani come "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", ispirati dalla sua esperienza in un campo profughi guatemalteco per conto di Oxfam. Cockburn ha sempre goduto di una grande popolarità in Canada, dove è stato introdotto nella Canadian Music Hall of Fame nel 2001. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws" (1973), "Last Night Of The World" (1984) e "The Charity Of Lovers" (1991). Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono: "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" e "Hallelujah" (cover di Leonard Cohen).
