I wrote a four word letter... with post-script in crooked lines, Though Id lived Id never been alive. And you know who I am... you held my hem as I traveled blind, Listening to the whispering in my ear, soft but getting stronger, Telling me the only purpose of my being here is to stay a bit longer. Stealing a bicycle chain as the handlebars crashed to the ground, And the back wheel detached from the frame, it kept rolling, yeah, But aimlessly drifting around. Oh, doubters, lets go down... lets go down, wont you come on down? Oh, doubters, lets go down... down to the river to pray. Oh, but Im so small I can barely be seen... how can this great love be inside of me? Look at your eyes.... theyre small in size, but they see enormous things. Wearing black canvas slippers in our frog-on-a-lily-pad pose, We sewed buttons and zippers to Chinese pink silk and olive night clothes. If you could someday stop by somehow well show you the pictures and fix you some tea... See, my dads getting a bit older now, and just unimaginably lonely! Oh, pretenders, lets go down... lets go down, wont you come on down? Oh, pretenders, lets go down... down to the river to pray. Oh, but Im so afraid or Im set in my ways But Hell make the rabbits and rocks sing His praise. Oh, but Im too tired, I wont last long. No, Hell use the weak to overcome the strong! Oh, Amanda, lets go down... lets go down, wont you come on down? Mama, Nana, lets go down... down in the dirt by the river to pray. (A wick to fit the wax... wood to fit the wire) You strike the match... why not be utterly changed to fire? To sacrifice the shadow and the mist of a brief life you never much liked? So if youd care to come along, were gonna curb all our never-ending, clever complaining, As whos ever heard of a singer criticized by his song? Though we hunger, though all that we eat brings us little relief, We dont know quite what else to do; We have all our beliefs, but we dont want our beliefs... God of Peace, we want You.
