Don’t nail your colours to the past
Don’t fly the flag from the ruined castle
Don’t go rehiring the same old cast
For all your dramas, it ain’t worth the hassle
Holy Moses I feel like a Man of God
I wish I could reach you
Laying around and laying down the deal, should I feel a fraud?
I wish I could teach you. Can I reach you?
Every time you hear his voice
It’s an invitation for another bad choice
Every time you hear his voice
It’s an invitation for another bad choice
Don’t nail your colours to the past
You shouldn’t play with that guy
You’re saluting the sinking mast
My ship is coming in, you should give it a try
Holy Moses I feel like a Man of God
I wish I could reach you
Laying around and laying down the deal, should I feel a fraud?
I wish I could teach you. Can I reach you?
Every time you hear me speak
It’s an invitation, got to say it real sweet
Every time you hear my voice
It’s an invitation to make a good choice
To make a good choice
For you and me too
Hear me coming on through with a message to you
Be my congregation
Hear the voice of truth, hear the voice of reason
Hear the voice of truth, hear the voice of me girl
Hear the voice of Donny Hathaway and the Detroit Emeralds
Playing on my turntable for you
And the Love Unlimited
Can you feel the need in me? Can you feel the need?
Rock my boat, baby rock the ocean
Ah honey I feel like a Man of God, I got no dog collar
Can you hear me holler?
Every time you hear our voice
It’s an invitation to make a good choice
