I was a poor boy[00:00:20]
Papa[00:00:23]
When you decided you would make me wealthy[00:00:24]
I had the sickness in my bones I was sure enough far from home[00:00:31]
You made me healthy[00:00:37]
I was rejected[00:00:42]
Dejected[00:00:44]
Uncorrected[00:00:45]
Unprotected[00:00:46]
Defected from my people[00:00:48]
I was contriving[00:00:53]
Cliff diving[00:00:54]
Capsizing[00:00:55]
No freedom rising from that deep hole[00:00:57]
But you made free[00:01:03]
And I must sing[00:01:09]
You baptized me[00:01:14]
Just doin' your thing[00:01:19]
I had the feeling all along that there was something peering strong over my shoulder[00:01:25]
And it got closer through the years through abandonment and tears as I got older[00:01:35]
Hitchhiking through the wilderness and bearing all my consequence I was a stranger[00:01:46]
You picked me up on sixty six[00:01:57]
Met me with love and kindness instead of anger[00:02:00]
And you made me free[00:02:07]
And I must sing[00:02:13]
You baptize me[00:02:18]
Just doin' your thing[00:02:23]
Now it's a quarter 'til the clock strikes[00:02:29]
And hopefully the shock might[00:02:50]
Hit you like a rock fight or like a butcher's block might[00:03:23]
Quick as lightning shock kite comes the key to lock tight[00:03:35]
The door on which he knock right now until it's not night[00:03:50]
Everybody walk tight rope until their chalk white hopes[00:04:07]
Are wiped away by the wind[00:04:14]
If the devil's your friend you got a burden on your back[00:04:18]
And some poison in your blood[00:04:30]
It's a burden to unpack[00:04:36]
Leave it behind in the mud[00:04:39]
Click clack goes the old smoke stack and when it leaves[00:04:47]
It ain't never coming back[00:05:03]
So you best be ready when the train comes steady[00:05:08]
It's rollin' heavy 'round the bends[00:05:19]
Get on board my friend[00:05:22]
For the land of Lord cause the levee's gonna break[00:05:29]
In the end[00:05:46]
You made me free[00:05:48]
And I must sing[00:05:51]
You baptized me[00:05:56]
Just doin' your thing[00:05:57]
