darkness at the edge of town
women for sale men looking for love
life seems to be full of choices
man has been through good and evil
but his choices will decide his final destination
Jesus hung on a cross some 1,988 years ago for everyones sins
but man is lost somewhere in their mind
lust and greed
is something men carry in their hearts
Jesus said men's hearts would wax cold
but doesn't a grey hair open their eyes
make them wise as they get old
hell is as real as the fatness
of a wallet in a rich man's pocket its something you can't see
but you know it's there
carry them away - carry them all away
take the old man out
put a heart of compassion
reborn his spirit
and let him live the life he was meant to live
man here's the key
to unlock those chains you carry
your so loud walking down broad st.
rich men in prison in their own homes
arguing and drinking just to make their point
but when the peace comes down...
if you hear a knock... don't be surprised
just open your heartdoor - repeat verse 2
Oklahoma 1988
