Oath

I won't beg or sob
Borrow or rob
The words you swore or the arms you wore
I won't look to when
Not now nor then
What you choose as a cause
With a bow, an applause
The means to an end

I combed the hills
Pushed back the brush
With a urge to speak I stifle a shriek
As I felt the rush

I won't hope or dream
Holler or scream
What you want doubt you ask and what you want you mask
But I will fight, defend
Not just now but then
The life that you drive with a hope as you strive for the best of men

I combed the hills
Pushed back the brush
With a urge to speak I stifle a shriek
As I felt the rush

Turn on your life
You know that it's there
Cause you payed in advance
You pray for a chance

And you know if god had a life
He'd have loved, he'd have laughed, shining larger than life
And he'd shout in your face
And he'd sing you a song

There's no hell
There's no heaven
I can't give you more than this

And you know if god had a life
He'd have loved, he'd have laughed, shining larger than life
And he'd shout in your face
And he'd sing you a song

There's no hell
There's no heaven
I can't give you more than this
