Judgement Day Blues
I've been standing on this mountain
Thinking hard on jumping down
It took so long to climb this mountain
Still thinking hard on jumping down
There ain't nothing but my faith and the thin air
Between me and that hard ground
Have I been standing here for hours?
It feels like standing days
Have I been standing here four hours?
Feels like standing on ten days
Time stands still, it freezes when you don't have words to say
When you pray on Judgement day
I have seen my mother weeping
and I've wiped away her tears
If you hear my mother crying
Won't you wipe away her tears
If you hear from my dear father
tell him it's a little worse off than he feared
When that Judgement day comes calling
You had best be on your knees
When that Judgement day comes calling
You had best be on your knees
Begging to your Lord for a little forgiveness
and sweet mercy please
