A Righteous Life
Not so long ago my life took a turn
I married a fine woman crossed some bridges that I'd burned
Do you know what it's like to reach this stage in life
And be grateful and anxious all at the same time
I've got love give me wisdom I've got bliss give me courage
To stand for what is right and do what is good
I've got blessings by the dozen kids and grandkids and I love 'em
Help me live a righteous life so they might feed on heaven's food
The world has gone crazy near as I can tell
I fear that the children will be living through hell
A Hell that we left them by our wicked choice
Born of greed and hatred and a lying voice
I've got love give me wisdom I've got bliss give me courage
To stand for what is right and do what is good
I've got blessings by the dozen kids and grandkids and I love 'em
Help me live a righteous life so they might feed on heaven's food
We've got people of power who only love themselves
Folk living in the street and weather hot as hell
I don't know what I can do to change a damn thing
But bet your butt with a little luck I'll die trying to do something
I've got love give me wisdom I've got bliss give me courage
To stand for what is right and do what is good
I've got blessings by the dozen kids and grandkids and I love 'em
Help me live a righteous life so they might feed on heaven's food
I married a fine woman crossed some bridges that I'd burned
Do you know what it's like to reach this stage in life
And be grateful and anxious all at the same time
I've got love give me wisdom I've got bliss give me courage
To stand for what is right and do what is good
I've got blessings by the dozen kids and grandkids and I love 'em
Help me live a righteous life so they might feed on heaven's food
The world has gone crazy near as I can tell
I fear that the children will be living through hell
A Hell that we left them by our wicked choice
Born of greed and hatred and a lying voice
I've got love give me wisdom I've got bliss give me courage
To stand for what is right and do what is good
I've got blessings by the dozen kids and grandkids and I love 'em
Help me live a righteous life so they might feed on heaven's food
We've got people of power who only love themselves
Folk living in the street and weather hot as hell
I don't know what I can do to change a damn thing
But bet your butt with a little luck I'll die trying to do something
I've got love give me wisdom I've got bliss give me courage
To stand for what is right and do what is good
I've got blessings by the dozen kids and grandkids and I love 'em
Help me live a righteous life so they might feed on heaven's food
