Lear Jets / Father's Son

(album: Seeds - 1973)

You got your lear jets and your limousines
And still you're wondering why
You can't lose that lonely feeling
No matter what you try
Yes, your three day parties twice a week
With all the old friends you know
Champagne breakfasts, country clubs
With scotch to bring you home

Oh, and after all the laughter
And the music fades away
You find yourself a lonely child
Lost along the way

Well, you turned your back so long ago
On Jesus and His Dad
And cast your pearls before the swine
You gave them all you had
Yes, and now you're hooked on selfishness
With nothing left to give
Like pigs thinking only of themselves, now
That's the way you live

Yes, and after all the laughter
And the music fades away
You find yourself a lonely child
Lost along the way

Oh, and after all the laughter
And the music fades away
You find yourself a lonely child
Lost along the way

Well, ain't you tired of all the darkness
Tired of all the pain
Come on into the sunshine, brother
Step right out of the rain
Ain't you tired of living in darkness
Playing all the games
Come on into the sunshine, brother
Step right out of the rain
I said that you can live in the sunshine, brother
Step right out of the rain

Well, won't you stop and listen?
I've got a word to say
I'd like to lay a bit of news on you
Before you slip away
(Slip away, slip away)
It's all about an old friend of mine
And how His Kingdom's come
Won't you open up your heart to Him
And welcome in the Father's Son?

Yeah, can you tell where you're going?
Do you know where you've been?
Can you hear someone knocking on your heart
But the fear won't let Him in?
Well, are you gonna keep on running
Just like you've always done?
Won't you open up your heart, my friend
And welcome in the Father's Son?

Have you heard about His Spirit?
They call Him the Holy Ghost
Yes, He came here two thousand years ago
The helper of the heavenly host
Just to give to us the victory
You know the battle has been won
Won't you open up your heart, my friend
And welcome in the Father's Son?

I have one more thing I want to tell you
Just one more thing to do
Ah, we're gonna knock out the powers of darkness
And you can do it too
Said, you don't have to wait no longer
Yes, our great day has come
Won't you open up your heart, my friend
Open up and let Him in?
Open up your heart to Him
And welcome in the Father's Son, that's right

And welcome in the Father's Son
And welcome in the Father's Son
I said, welcome in the Father's Son
Yes, welcome in the Father's Son...
