ZION

(album: Onwards To Zion - 2019)

God has given me a job
So I write four-minute songs
I want the world to sing along
Every tribe and every tongue

Thought I met a girl that was different
But she's hiding in the filter on her Instagram
Why is everyone somebody else when they get the chance?
I'm just looking for a headline that's what it says
I'm more afraid of life than I am afraid of death
I used to go for days without leaving bed
They say the Book of Revelation hasn't started yet
Well I been staring down a beast counting 7 heads

I thought you really liked me
I guess that I was wrong
'Till kingdom come, 'till Zion's sun, I'll hit that drum
I'm marching on
I thought you really liked me
I guess that I was wrong
'Till kingdom come, 'till Zion's sun, I'll hit that drum
I'm marching on

I left my laptop in the rain
Just wanna see the light of day
I lost some songs but that's ok
There's just so many things I gotta say

We been fighting on the way to the promised land
Money just like manna got us separate
Everyone around me always acting like they heaven sent
I know a lot of Africa thinks different
Why's the preacher flying in a private jet?
Why's the church running like a business?
I'm feeling like I'm in a big social experiment
I need you more than anything

I thought you really liked me
I guess that I was wrong
'Till kingdom come, 'till Zion's sun, I'll hit that drum
I'm marching on
I thought you really liked me
I guess that I was wrong
'Till kingdom come, 'till Zion's sun, I'll hit that drum
I'm marching on

And I couldn't hear you
And I couldn't feel you
I prayed for your rescue
Am I on my own?
The heavens are caving
The temple is shaking
I need you to save me (save me, save me)
Save me
Save me

God has given me a job
So I write four-minute songs
I want the world to sing along
Every tribe and every tongue
