John Brown's Body - Give Yourself Over lyrics

rate me

Give yourself over listen the soul

Help us on over the distant shore

We can move far with the wind that blows

Pray you make our hearts and our defenses hold

Wanted to be free from all politicking… that we see

This boy has traveled so long

But can't resign to defeat

So let it go and pass unseen through the silent shadows

Where currents flow to be near… you

Have you forgotten so soon?

Have you forgotten so soon?

Give yourself over listen the soul

Help us on over the distant shore

We can move far with the wind that blows

Pray you make our hearts and our defenses hold

Help yourself out of the hole you lie

Give yourself soul that you've been denied

We can move further through bending tides

Pray that we go quick or we sleep in fire

Pray that we go quick or we sleep in fire

Come on… pray!

With our defense, it prevent sickness

We hold out ground and let nobody test us

Whatever offends us, we keepin' it conscious

We moving to the rhythm that reveal a new concept

And through this harvest, a musical request

Reveal itself in a manner they can never contest

We carry no unrest / we seek only reason

For the search we go sleepless for the truth is the deepest

We. per.sist / we meditate so our minds don't regress

And if we start again, we renew our purpose

Practice to increase fitness

We focus on quickness for the mind can fool the eyes of the weak

The ground will grow it / the seed we sow won't sink into the sea

Let the lyrics of my mouth come out and better the policy

It's a gift that we can live this far and still receive,

So give it over, whoa

Have we forgotten so soon?

Have we forgotten so soon?

Give yourself over listen the soul

Help us on over the distant shore

We can move far with the wind that blows

Pray you make our hearts and our defenses hold

Give yourself over listen the soul

Help us on over the distant shore

We can move far with the wind that blows

Pray you make our hearts and our defenses hold
