<\/A>From Derek Webb’s<\/A> latest work, Mockingbird:<\/p>\n

who’s your brother, who’s your sister
\nyou just walked passed him
\ni think you missed her
\nas we’re all migrating to the place where our father lives
\n’cause we married in to a family of immigrants <\/p>\n

my first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man
\nmy first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
\nit’s to a king & a kingdom <\/p>\n

there are two great lies that i’ve heard:
\n“the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die”
\nand that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican
\nand if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him <\/p>\n

but nothing unifies like a common enemy
\nand we’ve got one, sure as hell
\nbut he may be living in your house
\nhe may be raising up your kids
\nhe may be sleeping with your wife
\noh no, he may not look like you think<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
