Mothers
Let your kids be kids
Before you know it
they’ll outgrow their cribs
Fathers
Let your sons be sons
Everyday fades away
With the setting of the sun
Some people say
they’ve news for you
but I ain’t heard yet and man
I’ve been all over this ole town
picking out my blues
Some people say
they’ve found the way
some people say,
some people say
and they say it well
Sisters
let your sheets be white
some devils stagger in
In a shimmering light
Brothers
let your hairs grow gray
Might be something you learn
Along the way
Something as hard
as a hurling stone
breaking through
Every wall
Maybe someone come
Show you the way
That happened for me
Every day
Some people say
Baby
come and take my arm
I’m just a diamond in the ruff
I won’t do you no harm
Neighbor
may your life be swell
I
heard you was leaving town
and
I wish you well
Before you leave
Come and have a bite
There’s chili on
And we ain’t got much
to do tonight
Maybe Tomorrow
Is a brand new day
Maybe never comes again

Garden of Eden

Can I not know you is that far out of sight?
Can I not see your ways clear as day as darkness differs light?
Can I not feel you like blood inside my veins?
Is every man across the land alive to die in vain?
I have been haunted by the memories of old.
How could a child that was filled with joy grow a heart so cold?
I was excited when I first heard the news,
That a man can turn to stand again and learn to face the blues.
I'M WANTING BACK, TO THE WAY THINGS WERE
WE WALKED AROUND THE GARDEN OF EDEN
I NAME THE ANIMALS YOU MADE ME FROM DIRT
ROAMING AROUND THE GARDEN OF EDEN
I feel so guilty but I know it's not my fault
It's just I am a slave in every way and all that I've been taught.
I know it's pointless like a penny in a well
to wish my enemies could see through me as clearly as themselves
I lit a beacon at the summit of a mount
I could see it all so perfectly the business in the town.
That's when I noticed that which sets us all apart
Was a shadow bold and lingering on every broken heart.
I'M WANTING BACK, TO THE WAY THINGS WERE
WE WALKED AROUND THE GARDEN OF EDEN
I NAME THE ANIMALS YOU MADE ME FROM DIRT
ROAMING AROUND THE GARDEN OF EDEN

I heard you say you feel, nothing ever goes your way
I know whats real, I dont see it much today
What I want to know is where is there to go from here
Will you come to stop the rain and bind it for a thousand years
The Earth is filled with mystery I heard it in an old wives tale
Crow has pecked the Eagles eye, stranger rides the nightingale
Puppets have the center stage, a corporations shadow falls
Pretending that they're innocent the wicked fill the judgement halls
An actor takes the fatal shot, an honest man is lying dead
Remember whats been written down the devil dresses best in red
The devil dresses best in red
You lie too well, cannot trust a word you say
Oh well, oh well, I avoid you anyway
Do you even know theres nowhere to go from here
People come to stop the rain and bind it for ten thousand years
Vanitys abandoning everything he fought to keep alive
As inspirations hurricane washes me to sea where few survive
When you took the job of pentacost and gave it to deceivers and the blind
Did you find the candle he revealed a nicely decorated place to hide
A land fulfills its prophecy, integrity is lying dead
Remember whats been written down the devil dresses best in red
The devil dresses best in red
I heard you say you feel, nothing ever goes your way
I know whats real, I dont see it much today

I don't know if the waves of the gifted
are made for the raft of the wise or the wicked
I don't know why I'm walking around
But I'm already here and I'd better find out, before it's over
Stroll thru the forest with a hatchet in hand
by runs that lady, catch me if you can
echoes through the timber and I take my advance
bought some advice from the wise of man who sang
when the rain falls, it's gonna pour down
while you're at your senses boy you'd better be found
in the arms of the love of the man up above
the mistakes you have made and the monsters of days that have
got on by, they are just that
time is of the essence best to leave it in the past
when it's over, it's over
i don't know for sure but you might not be back at the
funny farmers orchard, to pick from his trees
fruits of your labor and peaches of the season.
wont you go on one more walk with me?
kick of your shoes girl we'll stroll down by the sea.
Simmer down now we made it through that
we've found love is giving there's no getting back
what's free...
getting back what's free.

Room of White

Room of white
reflections of the outside glow at night
even in my room I feel delighted
even in my doom i've known delight
even in these moods i feel inspired.
To much dismay
all those rooms of white were really gray
I'm paying less attention to what sayings
come from men.
There is no perfection
don't be hypnotized by actors of the east
spiritually enlightened
hahaha, Jesus Christ is king!
They lead astray.
The universe internal is a blackness clothed in white.
Don't stop the fight!
A lion lingers hungry for your life.
The words in red were spoke to reveal him.
It's not hard to see open your mind.
The box of chains we've heard of is disguised as future truth.
And the world rests.
In a graveyard paralleled to righteousness.
The things we love are evil that's the bad news, but the blessed...
is the gift of life!
Free to any who will reach for light!
Treasure to the dark heart knowing blindness is their flaw.
There is no perfection but the One
who spread His blood upon the wood.
Eternity impending you can reach for life
I tell you that you could.
You really could.

Electric Dens

Like beasts
lurkin in the shadows
specifically designed to stupefy your mind
Like napalm
bombs in the classroom
all the kids are gathered around for a good time
here we go, again my friend
can't you see the end is soon to come?
see them riding there stallions in the streets
i hate to say it but I think it's done begun.
Day time
early evening access
syndicated programs neutralize your mind
They preach
stuff that makes blood boiling
stuff you never even needed in your mind
Here we go, again my friend
can't you see the end is soon to come?
See them flying flags and banners in the street?
I hate to say it but I think it's done begun.
DO NOT CONDONE,
TURN OFF THE TELEVISION IN YOUR HOME.
THE WOLVES HAVE ELECTRIC DENS
GET THEM OUT CAUSE YOU'RE LETTING THEM IN!

Bridge Burnin'

Well I got this uncle Brandon, did you hear what he did?
Passed out in his drivers seat foaming at the lips.
Slept hard as the cops pried him outside of his door,
Now he's crying in jail I can't take it no more.
My buddy left town, cause his old girl'd got lip.
He tried to start drinking first but he couldn't stand a sip.
So he bought one last bottle, poured it all out to the floor and said
I'm leaving you babe, I can't take it no more.
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Well that bridge burns
It's burning all my blues away
Old Molly Dearest is a registered nurse
But she runs her mouth so much, man, her jaws got to hurt.
Cussing and screaming she stomps out the front door and says
I'm quitting this job I can't take it no more.
I ain't known joy ever sine I was a child
When the air smelled so sweet and the winds blew so mild
It's so hot out now that my tongue drags the floord
I cry to my boss I cant take it no more.
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Well that bridge burns
It's burning all my blues away
Well I used to feel sorry for that thief up on the cross
probably stole a couple dollars, man, all of him it cost
then I read the words the Lord, next to him said
You're gonna be with me in heaven I'm the end of all this.
Mr. Caterpillar out there on your stick
watching butterflys flying by and getting sick
does it fill you envy, cause you want to sore?
Go build a cocoon just don't fake it no more.
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Bridge burnin, bridge bridge burnin
Well that bridge burns
It's burning all my blues away

Ballad of a Freeman
04:03

Dawn replace the sky
Ripple forth an angel multitude
to break the night
On the day the innocent shall stand
before the king
I'm asking
Please don't let my bloodshed be ignored
I love you and I'm coming back for more
Don't Fall
The ends are on their way to you
Somewhere someone said something like this sometime
Ohhhh Ohhhh
Back and forth by day
the twisting sticks of destiny
have built a bridge above the bay of reason
daring me to come across the shore
of letting go and knowing
all is known and all is in control
and where I'll go
higher as the ancient ones have told
Bless the feet of he who's
made the choice inside to loose it all
and where he goes refresh his
mind and teach him wisdom through your law
and if he's choking inside
show him that the peaceful ride begins
the journey to the kingdom is within
Watching you, watching me.
I think it's time for a cause it's time for a change
if we can find that love is where the heart is.

Cain't chu see
Cain't chu see that love is no illusion its just deeper than it seems
Every seed you sow into its field is what you reap and there's simply no room for lies, simply no room for a lie
I get so sick of speakin' thinkin bout what I should say
Sometimes I get so angry Lord
I wanna point the blame
I rekon being blamed is how I wound about this way
Oh I hope I find another way out
Hope I find another way out
Cain't chu see
Cain't chu see that love is no illusion its just deeper than it seems
Every seed you sow into its field is what you reap and there's simply no room for lies, simply no room for a lie
Even if you feel like youre a monster
Open up and share your heart
Lovin' babe it can be a thing sometimes
But remember that the truth is where it starts
Remember that the truth is where it starts
I know nobodys perfect although you say you were
You lie to childrens faces and even though it hurt
Offered you forgiveness but you threw it in the dirt
Tell me ma' does that sound right
Tell me ma' does that sound right
Cain't chu see
Cain't chu see that love is no illusion its just deeper than it seems
Every seed you sow into its field is what you reap and there's simply no room for lies, simply no room for a lie

I've been to the funny farm
I've spit the seeds from the fruited trees
Melt down in the glowing arms
of a sunny sky and a cooling breeze
Whooahh
It ain't hard to find my art
in the chocolate eyes of destiny
I feel ya in my heart
I call your name cause it sets me free
Whooahh
I see the grapes growing on a vine
diggin back in the past of this I know that i'll grow in time
I cease the day, clouds are rolling by
if you stop and smell the roses the roses will never die they'll be in your head.
your secret's safe with a man like Jesus
the holes are in his hands he's the one that frees us
Summer days, never did feel so fine
Whooahh
I try to stay, try to stay on track
but I get lost inside my mind sometimes and finding my way back
takes me down, down a whole nother road and I still
chose to refuse to listen to the lessons i've been told along the way
but I look for signs
signs from up above and no my eyes have not mistaken me
I have seen enough
enough to know something is going on
in our hearts and our minds eternities and if you want my advice
better look around
OPEN EYES, step outside
a bright light ripples
through the trees to you knees
it'll bring you there
Baby please don't you see
the bright light rippling
is God he breathes, takes from me
all the I cant bare
