Save His Soul lyrics

Music Lyrics: John Popper

As I
Was taught to lead
I was fed well
On what had come before
Everyone
Who had ever lived
Left a lesson
Regarding what's in store

They
Were just like you and me
Guessing their asses off
Oh yes, they tried to guess well

It's our turn now
I hope we're forgiven
Chalk it up to knowledge and change
And life itself

And as I
Shall learn to follow
I'll feed the leaders

Music: Chan Kinchla

Lyrics: John Popper

I want to tell you about something special
I want to tell you what makes men need

I think I'm talking 'bout what we all get into

I think I'm talking 'bout love & greed

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed

'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed

A man in love willing to walk through fire

Music: Bobby Sheehan
Lyrics: John Popper

Never a day goes by when I can't see his face
And I can hear a thundering voice that no one will replace
But since he left you've been hiding out and I can understand
It seems to me about that time you should be coming back again

I can feel the pain
That won't go away
We can't change that he left us
But it's up to you to stay

Music: Chan Kinchla
Lyrics: John Popper

I can feel your pity
I can feel your pain
And they're never going to bother you again

Well I don't know how
And I ain't sure why
But I promise you I'm really gonna try
Believe me

I hate tribulation
Don't want no trial
I can conquer with my state of denial

And I want to save you
So I guess I can
When I grow up I'll be a faith healing man
Believe me

Music & Lyrics: John Popper

I 've really got to clean up my room

You know its been so long since I've seen my floor

It's getting kind of scary in fact I suspect
That when I finally clear away I won't know her anymore

How we'll have grown so far apart

From those early days with the fresh new start

So in the end it won't matter at all

Music: Bobby Sheehan

Lyrics: John Popper

Step in from the rain
It's the nightingales on 2nd Avenue and I can't complain

It's a busy night

The regulars know me but all the same they decide I'm alright

Whiskey hit me fast

Don't mess with that stranger over there he'll do the same & you both may last

No I won't regret

The air is thick and wet

With defense & desire

Music Lyrics: John Popper

Have you ever seen an atom
Little bits of everything floating by
Take a good look at them
Collectively they compose all you see including your eye

Brilliant puzzle
A living Rubix Cube we think we can figure out and solve
But we're just monkeys
Scratching our heads trying to open our ears
To a chord that just won't seem to resolve

And we call it wisdom

Music: Chan Kinchla

Music: John Popper
Lyrics: S. Samaroo and John Popper

I just couldn't cry
No matter how hard I try
I knew the love we shared was dead
Until she gave me a letter
With some words she wrote down
And I swear this is what she said
She said...

Love of my life our first night together
We sat in the rain and talked forever
Love of my life your carefree way
Showed me the potential of each and
every day

Music: Chan Kinchla
Lyrics: R. Popper John Popper

A thousand times a prophet
A New York City prophet
They lie there all forgotten
I wonder who will hear them next

Well it won't be me it won't be you
Kind of makes you wonder who
Any sympathetic ear would do
Who's gonna hear them next

Lie prophet lie
For the sky is much too high
Keep it in your eye
And memorize the moon
Dream prophet dream

Music Lyrics: Brendan Hill

Hot lights across his face
They told him he was just a disgrace
Stripped down like a frightened child
A shadow stood before him
He thought he saw a smile

Guilty of nothing more than fear
It was the dogs of war that sent him here
Caught across enemy lines
Shot in the back
Now he's running out of time

They all said they loved him
But where were they all now

Music Lyrics: John Popper

I walked clean through the party
Without a sin put to my name
Then they got to know me
Then all the sins they came
To fruitions visibility
I suppose them always there
Back when no one knew me
I saw no need to care

But now such luxury is gone
And I've got to do my part
And the faces that I know, know me
Have laid claim to my heart
Like speculated real estate

Music: Bobby Sheehan
Lyrics: John Popper

Hail to you my mountain climber busy at your task
I know you're in a hurry but there's something I must ask
Do you ever get lonely climbing up so high
If you don't want to answer me I can understand why
If I told you a secret, would you want to know more
I've got a challenge I hope you won't ignore

Conquer me figure me out and set me free

Music Lyrics: John Popper

Raise your head
Meagerest of fledglings
And breathe in deep
And cease to cry
For life it beats within you
To fix upon the sky
And fix upon...

The sky
Is beckoning your coming
Your feathered nest
Has grown too small
The wind
Is here to greet you
Spread your wings and simply fall
Spread your wings and simply fall
Spread your wings
Spread your wings and simply...

Fall
