Amen Brother

Testo:

Carry the mission boy
The pastor said to me
For the Lord is justice
I tell ya every week
Ignore your inhibitions
The devil’s at your door
You made a broken promise
When you were here before

I’ll go and light a candle
For the sandals on your feet
You can satisfy the holy crowd
When you fall down on the street

It’s all crosses and bristles
Where you’re bound to go
There’s a place for you on Cavalry
Eleven faces in a row
Go on, get in line
You’re gonna be right here for quite some time
Carry the mission and the light will take you home

I know the shadows grow
But there’s one thing you’ve forgotten
Roads are never walked alone
So take it all in stride
All your demons are barely alive
Oh why, oh why

My heart’s been empty
I said without second thought
But my mind’s been open
To all the love I’ve sought
So you ask me to lead
When the pathway’s all but clear
Got not use of looking to the past
When it all started right here

The freeway is callin’
Me right where I saw
My ambition in the sky
But I’ve settled down
And I’m doin’ fine
All that’s left is by design

If you could wait just a minute of your time
I can turn this baneful water into wine
So all the years of life will show in my eyes
My soul is strong, my debt ain’t paid
I learned to die another day
But lookin’ back I realize

It’s all crosses and bristles
Where I’m bound to go
There’s a place for me on Cavalry
Eleven faces in arow
Come on, get me in line
I’m gonna stay right here for quite some time
To carry the mission and the light will take me home
