Quite early that morning
Was awake long before that beep sound (beep)
Outside my window there was a fire or could it just be the sunrise I
never had known
I met them that morning, I had nothing to hide
But the death of my Brother and the past of my life
Was ready to fail, I was ready to die
But all that I got was a tear in my eye, tell me
How would you consume me my father
Would I reach in despair, see the hate in her face
Then be ripped into pieces and fed to her man
Was paralysed, scared of my inner world
Rebuilding my hope, then seeking a way to get through
I stumbled back home, so sure, but I did not understand
Had a picture of her and her father, she was holding his hand
In my kitchen the butcher, in the bedroom a child
I wasn't aware that the judgement was mine
She lay a hand on my forehead and told me to sleep
She just might have seen a child within me
Kind of
Paralysed, scared of my inner worlds
Rebuilding my hope, then seeking a way to get through
Why do I wish to forget all these things
that still, long after lives on in my dreams
I was
Paralysed scared of my inner worlds
Rebuilding my hope, then seeking a way to get through
to you...(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Ezekial went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
Well, well, well Ezekial went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stoppin' till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I've got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
