Praise The Lord
by Poi Dog Pondering
Wishing Like A Mountain and Thinking Like the Sea
Columbia CK 45403 1990
`Praise the Lord,` he said to me.
And he seemed quite happy,
He seemed quite at ease.
And I said `Yeah.`
Cause I was just down at the sea
And it occurred to me,
That I like to feel it knock me down,
Twist and throw and churn me around,
`Cause it`s the mother ocean
And I`m just one of her sons.
And she can do just what she wants to me
And I know she does nothing purposely.
I must respect, that goes unsaid,
But it`s all just a twist of fate.
And I know about heaven`s gate
`Cause I`ve seen it, but not up close.
And I know it ain`t no pearly white
And I know that I`ll be nothing there.
Just food for fish and twisting worms,
But that`s just fine with me,
`Cause when I`m being tossed by the sea
I can feel a force greater than Misery,
Greater than my stupid job,
Greater than our stupid Bomb.
And a time comes to mind without complexity.
And she can do just what she wants to me
And I know she does nothing purposely.
I must respect, that goes unsaid,
But it`s all just a twist of fate.
So don`t tell me about the Land of Nod,
Where we are supposed to sit at the right hand of God,
Where the Lion will lay down the the lamb,
`Cause you know damn well he`ll eat him if he can.
The Lion doesn`t wanna be pacified
With promises of an endless life
`Cause he knows it`s not that way,
He`s not detached he sees it everyday -
The birth, the death and the decay,
The birth, the death and the decay.
And he accepts, and sees that it`s OK -
He would eat us for our elitist ways Send " Praise The Lord" Ringtone to your Cell
