Steve Reich feat. The Steve Reich Ensemble & Paul Hillier - Act 3 - Who Is Ishmael? Lyrics

Lyrics Act 3 - Who Is Ishmael? - Steve Reich , Paul Hillier




The first born, uh, son of Hagar
Of Hagar
Son of Hagar
He caused a lot of trouble
Caused a lot of trouble
He caused a lot of, he caused a lot of trouble
Lord says he's gonna be a wild man
Gonna be a wild man
Driven away with his mother
Driven away
Driven, driven away with his mother
He's sort of the James Dean of, of, of the Old Testament
He's sort of the James Dean, James Dean
Of the Old Testament
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
Call me Ishmael
As big as the Bible for other people
As big as the Bible, as big as the Bible for other people
Call me Ishmael
An outsider, a stranger
An outsider
A stranger, stranger
The loner and the person we all identify with
Loner, loner, loner
Loner
He's the first cowboy
Cowboy
Guy who walks off into the sunset
Into the sunset
Into the sunset
Walks off into the sunset, all by himself
All by himself
The outsider is a good guy
Good guy, good guy
American mythic thinking values the man alone
The man alone
From Moby Dick
That would be my first, second, and third response
First response
Then I'd have to really think and go "
Oh yeah, oh yeah, and that's from the Bible"
And that's from the Bible
Driven away with his mother
Driven away
Driven, driven away with his mother
Ishmael is not at all the outcast
Not at all the outcast
Not at all the outcast
In any larger vision of world history
The father of the Arabs, the Arab people
The Arab people
Can we, can we live with Ishmael?
Can we, can we?
Can we live with Ishmael?
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
From Moby Dick
Kind of every man who wanders through the world
Wanderer
Wanderer
Wanderer
Wanderer
Loner
Guy who walks off into the sunset, all by himself
By himself
And looking for something, looking for something
Looking, looking
