Open the Gates |
| Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne |
| There’s nothing i can’t do, cause i believe in you |
| And this world of stress, obstacles and tests |
| I will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest |
| You wanna dance with the devil, tread up on the revel |
| Livin like a rebel, wanna revel in the treble |
| While you jump another level, yeah you wanna get high |
| But dont wanna pay the price, wanna slice through the night |
| Sit back and feel nice, carry snakes around your neck |
| I reckon get born to the life where the mornin shines on |
| Got to keep your feet up on the ground |
| When the beat drops down, ain’t no time to clown around |
| This ain’t my city, this ain’t my town |
| I’m a stranger in a strange land with a strange sound |
| Must’ve been found, been wonderin all around |
| Time travellin with my crown, buried deep under the ground |
| Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne |
| There’s nothing i can’t do, when i believe in you |
| And this world of stress, obstacles and tests |
| Oh i will do my best, and leave the next world to my rest |
| Just like time, i’m on a windy road |
| Got to get where im going, got to get up and go |
| Heavy hands we stand, and go for an overflow |
| I ran the land, just like the ego |
| In search of the sea, and the sand |
| But the fire in the sky ran out, mount and scraped the sun |
| The only light is the one, that shines inside |
| As the time evaporates, yeah the time goes by |
| Days move on some come some go |
| All along i walk with flow |
| Nowhere i know, nothing at all |
| When the kingdom falls, still sing to god |
| Step back and let go of it all |
| Under attack i learn to stand tall |
| But the night time stalls, and the sun don’t rise and fall |
| Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne |
| There’s nothing i can’t do, when i believe in you |
| And this world of stress, obstacles and tests |
| Oh i will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest |
| (awesome and holy jam section) |
| Urge us to praise, praise, praise, praise, prays, prays… |
| Open up the gates… |
| Let my, run him in |
| Open, open, open, open, open, open, open… |
| Open up the gates, of righteousness |
| Ill be comin home… |
| (some applause) |
| Open, gates, of righteousness |
| Ill be comin home… |
| Open, gates, of righteousness |
| We’ll be comin home… |
| (more applause) |
| Babylon your gonna go down down down |
| Babylon your gonna go down |
| I said i hear the words our higher man say |
| Babylon your gonna go down down down |
| Babylon your gonna go down |
| Said one bright morning when my work is over, im gonna fly away home |
| One bright morning when my work is over, im gonna fly away home |
| I said ill fly, away home, to zion |
| Fly away home |
| I said ill fly away home to zion |
| Fly away home |
| One day… |
| One day, one day this all will change, treat the people all the same |
