Simple Message (Ernie Story)

(album: Preacher Man - 1973)

Here's a simple message
Sisters and brothers
Sent from God to me and you
Now we've just got to love one another
'Cause that's the proper thing to do

But there's a voice within us crying
Telling us to be aware
(Hey, what's that sound?) Hey, what's that sound?
(The sky is falling down) Oh, the sky is falling down
(Can't you see it?) Can't you see it?
(Can't you hear it?) Can't you hear it everywhere?

But there's a voice within us crying
Telling us to be aware
(Hey, what's that sound?) Hey, what's that sound?
(The sky is falling down) Oh, the sky is falling down
(Can't you see it?) Can't you see it?
(Can't you hear it?) Can't you hear it everywhere?

Now if we just do
Like the good book tell us
Everything gonna work out alright
I know the good Lord will always help us
He'll be our lantern in the night

But there's a voice, hey, within us crying
Telling us, "Why don't you be aware?"
(Hey, what's that sound?) Hey, what's that sound?
(The sky is falling down) Oh, the sky is falling down
(Can't you see it?) Can't you see it?
(Can't you hear it?) Can't you hear it everywhere?
Everywhere
Everywhere
