lirik lagu tj washburn – the gospel of sam cooke
it was spring and the world was all good things ahead
every child was home and loved, every hungry mouth was fed
all the boys were free to feel, all the girls were sure and strong
and sam cooke was singing on the stereo, “you know, it won’t be very long
“oh, it won’t be long before we walk on those storied streets of gold
hand in hand with the ones we love, just as the prophet told”
so learn your lyrics, warm up your voice; you’re gonna join in a jubilant song
sam was a voice in the wilderness, crying, “it won’t be very long”
it was spring and the sky was the painted wall of a cave
the light of the moon was a friend returning, born home on the waves
oh, it’s sprinting through the empty night, mama, you and i and she
a sam cooke song was stuck in my head, it was “nearer my god to thee”
hey! hey! hey!
god doesn’t live in a far~away place, god doesn’t live without
god doesn’t mind if you make mistakes, god doesn’t mind your doubts
oh, god isn’t something you go off to find, if you’re looking then you already see him
cause god is the searching, if you’re searching then you’re singing “nearer my god to thee”
one more time!
i said god is the searching, if you’re searching then you’re singing “nearer my god to thee”
it was spring and we loved each other, in the winter i’d forgotten the way
along came an idol i pretended wasn’t false and i let myself be led astray
oh i was closing my eyes and i was asking for guidance, but no one had nothing to say
except all along, they was telling me the truth: “there will be peace in the valley one day.”
oh, there will be peace in the valley, peace on the mountain, peace in the places between
get enough sleep and eat a big breakfast, you’re gonna need your sleep to drive the peace machine
oh the wars may come but remember this: wars do not have to stay
so bend your spears into pruning hooks, there will be peace in the valley one day
i said bend your spears into pruning hooks
there will be peace in the valley one day
