Lyrics
Until I draw my last breath on this earth
Expressing a commitment to live until the end of life.
And death it takes me as is promised from your birth
Acknowledging the inevitability of death as a part of life.
I know I got so much living to do
Recognizing a substantial amount of life left to live.
I'll be so long asleep the lord I'll pray my soul to keep
Expressing a hope for a peaceful afterlife.
A place to stay the lord shall grant me sanctuary
Seeking a place of refuge granted by a higher power.
For peace of mind the lord I'll ask for sanity
Asking for mental well-being and clarity from a divine source.
Seek and I shall find a place of rest for sanctity
Searching for a place of rest and purity.
Save us from imbeciles who think they rule the world
Pleading for protection from foolish individuals claiming authority.
Save us from hypocrites whose twisted plans unfurl
Requesting deliverance from deceptive and insincere people.
Save us from warmongers who'd bring on Armageddon
Seeking salvation from those who promote destructive conflicts.
Save us from all of those whose eyes are closed
Asking for protection from those who are oblivious to the world's problems.
To the plight of the African child
Highlighting concern for the suffering of African children.
We get along it's all about the chemistry
Emphasizing the importance of interpersonal chemistry.
Up there way beyond the mere exchange of pleasantries
Describing a connection beyond surface-level interactions.
Please don't she'd no tears it's all about the energy
Asking not to mourn, focusing on the positive energy in life.
Save us from imbeciles who think they rule the world
Reiterating the plea for protection from misguided rulers.
Save us from hypocrites whose twisted plans unfurl
Continuing to seek deliverance from deceitful plans.
Save us from warmongers who'd bring on Armageddon
Pleading to be saved from those who promote apocalyptic scenarios.
Save us from all of those whose eyes are closed
Requesting protection from those indifferent to global issues.
To the plight of the African child
Reiterating concern for the suffering of African children.
A place to stay the lord shall grant me sanctuary
Expressing the hope for divine refuge and sanctuary.
For peace of mind the lord I'll ask for sanity
Asking for mental peace and clarity through divine intervention.
Seek and I shall find a place of rest for sanctity
Continuing the search for a place of rest and purity.
Save us from imbeciles who think they rule the world
Repeating the plea for protection from misguided rulers.
Save us from hypocrites whose twisted plans unfurl
Reiterating the request for deliverance from deceitful plans.
Save us from warmongers who'd bring on Armageddon
Persisting in the plea to be saved from those who promote apocalyptic scenarios.
Save us from all of those whose eyes are closed
Continuing the request for protection from those indifferent to global issues.
To the plight of the African child
Reiterating concern for the suffering of African children.
And so when all is said and done
Reflecting on life and expressing gratitude for blessings.
I'll count my blessings spread my wings and fly, fly home
Anticipating a peaceful departure and spiritual transcendence.
