Lyrics This Day - John Brown's Body

This Day

When you speak you pray
Say a word and it shall be
Be mindful of the words you speak
Come on and take a walk down freedom street
The most High you, you take and you greet (?)
Say you want to live and be free;
Choose your words so carefully!
This Day’s such a nice day
This way is the right way to live
And to die (hi-hi hi hi)
Listen to the children play
Listen to what numbers they say
There are only ways to go:
You can choose peace or war
This Day is such a nice day
Positive is the right way to live
And to love (and to love!)
Every word has a meaning
Words you use gonna catch up on you, yes!
Every meaning has reason:
Reasons you can pick and choose
This Day’s such a nice day
This way is the right way to live
And to die (hi-hi hi hi)
To Live, yeah, To Die
To Live…
