God Fearing - A3

Listen mister brother sister Family and friend I fear with each day pass Our time grows closer to the end Listen stranger, passer by And those I never knew There's not one day that you are living Has been promised to you I am a God fearing man I'm a God fearing man I reach out for my God's hand I'm a God fearing man Listen mother sister brother Relatives and kin You want to know just where you're going You got to know where you've been And tell me what gives one the right To say their God is better than anybody else? Don't we all have a right To find God for our self And I am a God fearing man I'm a God, a God fearing man I, I reach up for my, for my God's hand I'm a God, a God fearing man, yes I am So when I rise with the morning sun I give thanks to my God For the gift of another one, oh And when my day is over And complete I reach to my God To put me back on my feet And I am a God fearing man I'm a God fearing guy Oh and I reach up for my God's hand I'm a God fearing man, yes I am

I'm standing at a window I'm pressed against the past I'm looking on in black and white Through the eyes of photographs And I'm falling into faces Cultivated smiles Two dimensional Je me souviens Canada Out of Gastown in the morning On a train in '69 Into the arc-weld of the rising sun We left the coast behind And the wheels rolled in a rhythm And I heard in them for the first time The endless song of traveling out of Canada Oh Canada The longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've traveled out of Canada Through the dog-days of the prairies The boundless sky above our heads My stepfather looked for Mounties In the streets of Winnipeg And he told them that my mother's love Had stole his heart away And we all stood there Posed for Polaroids of Canada Oh Canada The longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've traveled out of Canada I awoke wrapped in my mother's arms On the docks of Montreal The ships lit like Christmas And the moon a swollen ball When a sailor spoke of England I'd never felt so small I waited until the ocean Turned from emerald to grey The wind threshed the water And washed our wake away And the seagulls blew like words Back to the mouth of the St. Lawrence As we sailed out On The Empress of Canada Oh Canada The longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've traveled out of Canada The first country of my youth My heart was ever drawn to you Like a tongue to a broken tooth In a world where everyone was always leaving I was trying to keep my fingertips On Canada

Outside the world is crying Breaks my heart in two 'Cause no-one is an island When you walk in someone else's shoes We don't really see each other We don't even trust the truth It's the old divide and conquer Eye for an eye and tooth for tooth Heaven help the privileged ones Who never felt the blues 'Cause you won't find the road to love 'Til you walk in someone else's shoes Walk in someone else's shoes Heaven help the privileged ones Who never felt the blues 'Cause you won't find the road to love 'Til you walk in someone else's shoes Walk in someone else's shoes

Spent my life tryna find my way home Last i know we've been out way too long Nothings ever set in stone Lost myself made a mess out of me Ten past twelve in the night losing sleep Heaven can't be out of reach Only wanna go where you wanna go Only wanna go where you wanna go It ain't easy to believe me when I tell you All the promises that I made always fell through Spent a lifetime In a fight trying not to fail you But I let go, I let go, I let go Days before i met you I was at my lowest Turned me from a prideful boy Into a poet Was a mess Enemy putting me up to test Help me win Help me win against my flesh I dream of pulling up to heaven in a hellcat I dream of pulling out my family from a dark past I remember vividly I was fifteen And I told god That I don't believe Would you miss me If I just sleep If I'm fighting and I couldn't get them off me I been looking at decisions what the cost me Oh these memories they always seem to cross me I been back and forth and hurt up on this road God I'll go where you want me to go It ain't easy to believe me when I tell you All the promises that I made always fell through Spent a lifetime In a fight trying not to fail you But I let go, I let go, I let go I know i can't make it on my own By your side is right where i belong I know i can't make it on my own I'll only go where you want me to go ohhh Only go where you want to go It ain't easy to believe me when I tell you All the promises that I made always fell through Spent a lifetime In a fight trying not to fail you But I let go, I let go, I let go
