[Intro] x2
B A E
[Verse 1]
I was a Bpoor boy papa when Ayou decided you would make me Ewealthy
I had the sBickness in my bones, I was sAure enough far from home, you make mEe healthy yeah yeah
I was reBjected, dejected, uncorrecteAd, unprotected, defecteEd from my people
I was conBtriving, cliff diving, capsizing, Ano freedom rising from thaEt deep hole
[Chorus]
But You mBade me fAree, and I Emust sing
You bBaptized Ame just doin' EYour thing
[Verse 2]
I had the Bfeeling all along that there was Asomethin' peering strong over my Eshoulder
And it got Bcloser through the years, through aAbandonment and tears as I got Eolder, yes it did
Hitchhiking Bthrough the wilderness, and bearing Aall my consequence I was a Estranger
You picked me Bup on sixty-six and met me witAh love and kindness instead Eof anger
[Verse 3]
Now it’s a Bquarter ‘til the clock strikes, and hopefully the shock might
AHit you like a rock fight or like a butcher’s block might
EQuick as lightning shock kite comes the key to lock tight
The door on which he knock right now until it’s not night
 BEverybody walk tight rope until their chalk Awhite, hopes are wiped away by the wind
If the Edevil’s your friend you got a burden on your back, And some poison in your blood
It’s our Bburden to unpack, leave it behind in the Amud
Click clack goes the old smoke Estack and when it leaves
It ain’t never coming back, so you best be ready when the train comes steady
 BIt’s rollin’ heavy ‘round the bendsA, get on board my friend
 EFor the land of Lord cause the levee’s gonna break, in the end

[Intro] x2

B A E

[Verse 1]

B A E

I was a poor boy papa when you decided you would make me wealthy

B A E

I had the sickness in my bones, I was sure enough far from home, you make me healthy yeah yeah

B A E

I was rejected, dejected, uncorrected, unprotected, defected from my people

B A E

I was contriving, cliff diving, capsizing, no freedom rising from that deep hole

[Chorus]

B A E

But You made me free, and I must sing

B A E

You baptized me just doin' Your thing

[Verse 2]

B A E

I had the feeling all along that there was somethin' peering strong over my shoulder

B A E

And it got closer through the years, through abandonment and tears as I got older, yes it did

B A E

Hitchhiking through the wilderness, and bearing all my consequence I was a stranger

B A E

You picked me up on sixty-six and met me with love and kindness instead of anger

[Verse 3]

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

B A

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

B A

It’s our 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

B A

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
