Elijah
The Jordan is waiting for me to cross thru My heart is aging, I can tell So Lord, I'm asking for one last favor from You Here's my heart--take it where You will This life has shown me how we're mended and how we're torn How it's OK to be lonely as long as you're free Sometimes my ground was stoney, and sometines covered up with thorns And only You could make it what it had to be and now that's it done If they dressed me like a pauper, or if they dined me like a rpince If they lay me with ym fathers, or if my ashes scatter ont he wind I don't care Chorus: When I leave I want to go out like Elijah With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire And when I look back ont eh stars It'll be like a candleight in Central Park And it won't break my heart to say goodbye There's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friends Sometimes this has bent me to the ground But now that this is all ending, I want to hear some music once again `Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever found But the Jordan is waiting, though I ain't seen the other side Still they say you can't take what you have here So on the road to salvation, I still out my thumb and He gives me a ride SongtexteAnd His music is already falling on my ears There's people been talking, see they're worried about my soul Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking till I'm sure it's my time to roll And when I do [chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
