lyrics

Listen to me brother, won't you listen to me friend,
The world as we now know it may be coming to and end.
I know your vision's clouded by books I'd have banned.
Take time for a drink, a new life is at hand

Listen to me brother, have you been ignored?
Take the time to think and have a drink and you can see the Lord.
You know you can't see clearly if your feet are on the floor,
Heaven's Gates are waiting just open up the door.

I was born in Bethlehem in 1964,
This is where I came to know that God is getting bored.
All around the stars were shining brightly in the sky
when the Lord appeared before me saying the water's running dry.

Listen to me brother and I can set you free.
I can show the way to you, I can bring you harmony.
I can show you miracles, I'll make a blind man see.
And if you let me have your cigarette son, then I'll heal you for free.

I have seen the light now, the writing on the walls.
And if your spirit's feeling low then just give me a call.
All around the stars are shining brightly in the sky
when the Lord appeared before me running dry.
