Fall From Paradise

(album: Sleeper Catcher - 1978)

Down by the Jordan it's early in the morning
The sun is in the sky all the people pass by
There's magic in the air, some stop to stare
At a man who says he cares

People came from miles to hear what he had to say
Some of them believed in him and some just walked away
He tried to explain, our fall from paradise was meant to be
Disbelief showed in their eyes, drowning out his distant cries

I'm telling the truth to you, brother
Telling it true to you, sister
Go tell the truth to the others
All over the land

Now we're here on the planet to live
We're able to love and we're able to give
There's a lot going down, some win and some lose
Still we're able to choose

But think of the times you cry in the night
Kicked through the years, there is no choice, we have to fight
Through it all the world goes on, it's another day
People rushing to a fro, counting hours as they go

I tried to explain our fall from paradise was meant to be
It's written down for all to hear
There's not much time, the time is near

I'm telling it true to you, brother
Telling it true to you, sister
Go tell the truth to the others

I'm telling it true to you, brother
Telling it true to you, sister
Go tell the truth to the others
All over the land
Yeah, yeah
