B A E
I was a poor boy papa when you decide you would make me wealthy
B A E
I had this sickness in my bones, I was sure not far from home, you make me healthy yeah yeah
B A E
I was rejected, dejected, incorrect, unprotected, defected from my people
B A E
I was contriving, cliff diving, capsizing, no freedom rising from the deep hole
B A E
But You make me free, and I must sing
B A E
You baptize me just doin' Your thing
B A E
I had the feeling all along that there was somethin' bearing strong over my shoulder
B A E
And it got closer through the years, through abandonment and tears as I got older, yes it did
B A E
Hitchhiking through the wilderness, and bearing all my consequence I was a stranger
B A E
You picked me up on 66 and met me with your loving-kindness instead of anger
B
Now it?s a quarter ?til the clock strikes, and hopefully the shock might
A
Hit you like a rock fight or like a butcher?s block might
E
Quick as lightning shock kite comes the key to lock tight
The door on which he knock right now until it?s not night
B A
Everybody walk tight rope until their chalk white, hopes are wiped away by the wind
E
If the devil?s your friend you got a burden on your back, And some poison in your blood
B A
It?s our burden to unpack, leave it behind in the mud
E
Click clack goes the old smoke stack and when it leaves
It ain?t never coming back, so you best be ready when the train comes steady
B A
It?s rollin? heavy ?round the bends, get on board my friend
E
For the land of Lord cause the levee?s gonna break, in the end
