I was a poor boy, Papa, when you decided you would make me wealthy | |
I had the sickness in my bones I was sure enough far from home | |
You made me healthy | |
I was rejected, dejected, uncorrected, unprotected, defected from my people | |
I was contriving, cliff diving, capsizing, no freedom rising from that deep hole | |
But you made free, and I must sing | |
You baptized me, just doin’ your thing | |
I had the feeling all along that there was something peering strong over my shoulder | |
And it got closer through the years through abandonment and tears as I got older | |
Hitchhiking through the wilderness and bearing all my consequence I was a stranger | |
You picked me up on sixty six, met me with love and kindness instead of anger | |
And you made me free, and I must sing | |
You baptize me, just doin’ your thing | |
Now it’s a quarter ‘til the clock strikes, and hopefully the shock might | |
Hit you like a rock fight or like a butcher’s block might | |
Quick as lightning shock kite comes the key to lock tight | |
The door on which he knock right now until it’s not night | |
Everybody walk tight rope until their chalk white hopes | |
Are wiped away by the wind | |
If the devil’s your friend you got a burden on your back | |
And some poison in your blood | |
It’s a burden to unpack, leave it behind in the mud | |
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 | |
It’s rollin’ heavy ‘round the bends, get on board my friend | |
For the land of Lord cause the levee’s gonna break, in the end | |
You made me free, and I must sing | |
You baptized me, just doin’ your thing |
I was a poor boy, Papa, when you decided you would make me wealthy | |
