godspell of john
he was drafted many years ago
killed a man couldn’t let it go
now he looks to God to heal his wounds
to take a life is to take a light
now darkness follows those who fly
away from all the troubles that they’ve caused
those years took a toll for all
led God loving men to their fall
is leaving hell heaven in itself
but no walls kept the demons out
the streets are home this time around
he breathes his peace in the open air
how do you find heaven in the hell
you’ve got to look into your self
you know better than anybody else
how you’re gonna make it in this world
now he digs graves a holy way
to pass the days and pass the dead
sending spirits to their resting place
an angel of the yard and streets
spirit guides him when he speaks
truth is found with nothing left to hide
he told me when the eyes of two
meet as one he calls it love
you gotta trust in people and their God
told him I wanted to change the world
he told me you can only change yourself
you cannot change that which you don’t know
to pass the days and pass the dead
sending spirits to their resting place
an angel of the yard and streets
spirit guides him when he speaks
truth is found with nothing left to hide
he told me when the eyes of two
meet as one he calls it love
you gotta trust in people and their God
told him I wanted to change the world
he told me you can only change yourself
you cannot change that which you don’t know
how do you find heaven in the hell
you’ve got to look into your self
you know better than anybody else
how you’re gonna make it in this world
you’ve got to look into your self
you know better than anybody else
how you’re gonna make it in this world
