about

Black Panther revolutionary Fred Hampton fell asleep during a phone conversation with his mother around 1:30 a.m. on December 4, 1969. Earlier that evening Hampton had been drugged in order to incapacitate him for a planned raid later that evening by law enforcement. At the time Hampton and his girlfriend Deborah Johnson were expecting the birth of their child, as she was more than eight months pregnant.

lyrics

as chicago waits for sleep
on a cold december night
voices travel through the wires
familiar as the road that brings you home

there’s a mother and a son
tethering their quiet thoughts
of a newborn soon to come
the joy of life and beauty yet unknown

copper wires
through these copper wires the truth comes through

what would I do if you went away?
what would I do if you left for a while?
what would I do if you went far away?

take all the pennies in the world
melt them all down one by one
and wrap it all on a great giant spool
tie it to a messenger bird
fly away, all the way to you
