There is a hole it's dark and untold,

there continues to be and ocean, a sea,

if you think that you are in

then you better not shout,

you better not cry,

you better not pout

i'll tell you why

 

 

he knows you've been sleeping

he knows your not awake

he knows that you've been bad not good

so be good for God's sake!

 

you better not shout

you better not cry

you better not pout

Jesus is telling you why.

 

pay attention remove this billiness,

silliness from your mind

like a child plays and finds a hole

enters within but knows not it's a gin

 

you've fallen to wastelands

mired in sludge

you can't see the color

it's just like fudge

 

get out from the illusion

that fudge is so sweet

rise up to the light

and taste Jesus's meat

 

you are but hiding

in a deep dark hole

thinking your safe

causes the truth

is on hold.

 

and why is it so

because you're a who

and you've gone gone to the dark

and you think it's a park

 

you have things to do

but all you do is screw

if it's not each other

your minds are in the gutter.

 

so when God speaks

open your ears

it might do you good

to get out from your fears.

 

So why hold onto night

and think it's allright

and pray tell the matter

to another just flatter

 

so you flick and you flame

playing a fool's game

so why don't you fly

and give God a try.

 

just my soft words

i know they'll go unheard

so what's the big deal

till your next meal

 

see how i feel,

now you've got the real deal

 

see ya
