John Brown's Body - Give Yourself Over lyrics
Your rating:
Give yourself over listen the soul Help us on over the distant shore We can move far with the wind that blows Pray you make our heart and our defenses hold Wanted to be free from all the politicking that we see This boy has traveled so long But can’t resign to defeat So let it go and pass unseen through the silent water Where currents flow to be near you Have you forgotten so soon? Help yourself out of the hole you lie Give yourself soul that you’ve been denied We can move further through bending tides Pray that we go quick or we sleep in fire With our defense, it prevent sickness We hold out ground and let nobody test us Whatever offends us, we keepin’ it conscious We moving to the riddim that reveal a new concept And through this harvest, a musical request Reveal itself in a manner they can never contest We carry no unrest / we seek only reason For the search we go sleepless for the truth is the deepest We persist / we meditate so our minds don’t regress And if we start again, we renew our purpose Practice to increase fitness We focus on quickness for the mind can fool the eyes of the weak The ground will grow it / the seed we sow won’t sink into the sea Let the lyrics of my mouth come out and better the policy It’s a gift that we can live this far and still receive, so give it over Cannot lay down and let the time slip come sneak up on me This boy has blessings to see / to reach you have to go deep Cannot give up on all the signs I have fought to follow For all these pieces made me Have we forgotten so soon?
