Jesus & Jerry

I never thought that I'd be back
I thought these walls were just the cages of my past
But I grew up and I got tough
I'm not the boy I used to be
I blew my engine out 'round 2019
Yeah, I was pissed, so off I went
That's when I burned the whole thing down
I got swooned into the fire but found my angels on the ground
And started new, which we can do
I met a yogi on my path
I said I used to follow Jesus now I'm lost and can't go back
She told me son, the war is done

I guess that's amazing grace
Once we learn to throw the grievances away
We find a love that never separates
Walk me home, I'll do the same

I first found God in 98
'Grateful Dead Live in Paris' on my brother's cassette tape
And I was hooked
Jack Straw was all it took
I felt the soul behind the song
Felt like Jerry brought down Jesus
And all my suffering was gone
So who's to say there's just one way

I guess that's amazing grace
Once we learn to throw the grievances away
We find a love that never separates
Walk me home, I'll do the same

So as I shake away my chains
I see visions of the future
I see hope and I see change
I see Jesus, I see Jerry, I see Joni, I see Mary
Cheers to Ram Dass, nod to Rumi
All this love is moving through me
I see God the breath of nature
The universe in every stranger
Drop your swords, release your anger
Fully risen, fully anchored, hallelujah
Jai! Jai! Hallelujah!

I guess that's amazing grace
Once we learn to throw the grievances away
We find a love that never separates
Walk me home, I'll do the same
And with our love, we'll light the way
Walk me home, I'll do the same
