This was a very limited release, primarily sold at a few concerts in 2000 and 2001 and never officially announced or even mentioned. The rear artwork was edited in 2001 to identify tracks that were appearing on CD for the first time, namely those from Street Level and Bootleg. Note that these 'first time on CD' tracks were all or mostly sourced from bootlegs and are of varying sound quality
Despite sharing the album title, this release is only semi-related to the Essential series' Survivor. This was a survey disc aimed at obtaining input into a three disc boxset Larry was planning. Evidently the idea morphed into what eventually became the 7 disc Essential Series

lonely boy [listed as lonely by myself in error]
[Go to Song Page]
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
my feet are on the rock
[Go to Song Page]
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone
And I am not alone
So when I feel the need I dance before the throne
Take it easy, nice and slow
Feel his presence, don’t you know
If he says follow, I will go
I feel like dancing, ‘cause he saved my soul
Goliath had a sword, David had a stone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
So if you knock me down (Ooh woo woo woo)
Oh brother I will not fight you back (Ya ya ya ya, woo wo-wo wo-wo woo-oh wo wo)
You know God loves all his children (Wo woo woo woo)
Red, white, yellow, brown and black (Wo-oh oh oh oh oh)
Go Charley go
My my my, such a little boy too, mmm hmm
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving never satisfies my soul
Don’t wanna do the stroll
When I’m down I go off on my own
And I am not alone
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Mmm mm mm
Back off Jimmy, it’s not wrong
This kind of music comes from the church not from the devil
Now I hope you heared me
Good night
God bless you
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone

I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)

the man from galilee
[Go to Song Page]
OK roll it
One two one two three [Spoken]
Well a blind man standing by the side of the road
He was a blind from birth, it was a heavy load
And though he lived a good life he could not see
Up walked the man from Galilee
He touched those eyes and he made that blind man see
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee
Lazarus died and for four long days
He laid in the grave and he did not raise
His sisters kept saying how can this be
Up walked the man from Galilee
He said Lazarus come forth and he was set free
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee
You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do not stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you
You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do the stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you
Well they nailed him to the cross, they laid him in the ground
They put soldiers at the grave and there were people walking round
Saying this is the end of christianity
Up rose the man from Galilee
When I die I know where I want to be
Standing in the presence of the man, yeah
There ain't never been nobody like the man, yeah
Never been nobody like the man from Galilee
And this is just the beginning
OK roll it

hard luck bad news blues
[Go to Song Page]
I've been having some hard times
All my life
I hope things change pretty soon
Hard luck and bad news
Has followed me from town to town
All my life my luck's been down
I'm getting so weary
I don't have one friend
Folks turn their backs when I'm around
And where I walk the grass turns brown
No one will come near me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die
My life's been lonely
I've never heard a kindly word
Ugly names is all I've heard
And mean is how they treat me
Nobody trusts me
They blame me for the fires in town
Claim that hell is where I'm bound
And pray that God will speed me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die
Woo
Life's not worth living
My sorrow's more than I can say
Tomorrow's just another day
I hate to see the sun rise
Yet maybe someday
I'll find a man to call a friend
I'll be his friend until the end
In loneliness my heart cry
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die [x2]
I've been having some hard times
All my life
I hope things change pretty soon
Hard luck and bad news

Folks turn their backs when I'm around
And where I walk the grass turns brown
No one will come near me

moses
[Go to Song Page]
Moses tending sheep in the fields one day
When he thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say
Gotta free your people
From the Pharaoh's hand
Gotta take 'em all to the promised land
Moses knew that God was talking to him
So he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim
And Moses bugged the Pharaoh, he bugged him
And he bugged him
'Till he got his people freed
He used real bugs
Yes indeed, ow ow
He got his people freed
Ow ow ow ow [x2]
Moses on the banks of the wide Red Sea
He stuck out a stick and one two three
The water rolled back
And the people walked down
Everybody knew they wouldn't drown
Pharaoh told his army to bring 'em all back
An' here come the chariots, clickety clack
Why Moses took his stick
And he closed up the water
An' the 'Gyptians all took a bath
Ow ow ow ow
What a laugh
Ow they all took a bath
Ow ow ow [cough] ow
Ow ow ow ow
Dirty 'Gyptians
Grab my foot, take my hand
Lead me on to the promised land
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Me and all my people is here
So keep on sending manna
From the atmosphere
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
After forty long years in the wilderness
They finally saw their potential metropolis
They all gave thanks
And they all praised the Lord
Even though it took time he kept his word
He grab their foot and he tooken their hand
And he brung 'em all over
To the promised land
But it seems to me like an awful long time to be
Looking for a home
Ow ow ow ow
A mighty long roam, home
Looking for a home, a home a home
Never borrow money needlessly [cough]

walking backwards
[Go to Song Page]
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
Wonder what I'm doing
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free but actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
Wonder what I'm doing
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free but actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs

forget your hexagram
[Go to Song Page]
Ah forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep the table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
OK now [Very faintly]
Oh
Heaven is in your mind
When love is in your heart
Maybe you'll find the way
But first you have to start
Forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep your table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
Ah forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep the table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
OK now [Very faintly]
Oh
Heaven is in your mind
When love is in your heart
Maybe you'll find the way
But first you have to start
Forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine

i wish we'd all been ready
[Go to Song Page]
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head
He's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke, the demons dined
The son has come and you've been left behind
You've been left behind [x4]
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head
He's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke, the demons dined
The son has come and you've been left behind
You've been left behind [x4]

High, riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
Riding high

On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep reaching through the mist
Melting fire with snow
Watching changes in the world below
Bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba bap ba

Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine

blue shoes white
[Go to Song Page]
Rolling on Blue Shoes White take one
One two three ten [Spoken]
One two three four
I had the rhythm of living in my shoes
Along come the rhythm and blues
The blues caught up and put me in a trance
And my shoes refused to dance, dance, dance, dance, wo-oh
My life began to slip and slide
And I had no hope
No place to hide
I borrowed a gun, I had nothing to lose
I figured it’s time to hang up my shoes
He came along that very day
He asked me why I walk this way
My soles half worn and my tongue hung about
And with broken laces I’m tripping out
He said to me, get up and walk
And I said, why don’t we sit down and talk
He said, how ‘bout a new soul
I said uh-ah, no chance
I’m going to put these shoes in an ambulance
Be-oo-bop bea-bow-ow
He reached right out and touched my toes
Everybody knows how the rest of the story goes
If you’re steppin’ though life, then my appeal
Is to follow in his footsteps and get your soles re-heeled
And if ya, ya huh, you wanna give your feet a treat
Honey, get ready to walk down the golden street
But be careful how you use your shoes
And don’t waste your time on the rhythm and blues, ooh
He turns blue shoes white
He turns blue shoes white
He makes your wrong feet go right
He turns your black soul white, that’s right
He turns blue shoes white, c’mon man
He turns blu-oo-ooh shoes white
W H I T E white
White like a light, light
He turns blue-ue-ue-ue-ue shoes
Go on shine ‘em up, come on, come on, tie ‘em right, tie ‘em right
Keep it going, come on, get my feet moving, come on
Tell me what
Let's try one more time [Spoken]
Rolling on Blue Shoes White take one
One two three ten [Spoken]
One two three four
I had the rhythm of living in my shoes
Along come the rhythm and blues
The blues caught up and put me in a trance
And my shoes refused to dance, dance, dance, dance, wo-oh
My life began to slip and slide
And I had no hope
No place to hide
I borrowed a gun, I had nothing to lose
I figured it’s time to hang up my shoes
He came along that very day
He asked me why I walk this way
My soles half worn and my tongue hung about
And with broken laces I’m tripping out
He said to me, get up and walk
And I said, why don’t we sit down and talk
He said, how ‘bout a new soul
I said uh-ah, no chance
I’m going to put these shoes in an ambulance
Be-oo-bop bea-bow-ow
He reached right out and touched my toes
Everybody knows how the rest of the story goes
If you’re steppin’ though life, then my appeal
Is to follow in his footsteps and get your soles re-heeled
And if ya, ya huh, you wanna give your feet a treat
Honey, get ready to walk down the golden street
But be careful how you use your shoes
And don’t waste your time on the rhythm and blues, ooh
He turns blue shoes white
He turns blue shoes white
He makes your wrong feet go right
He turns your black soul white, that’s right
He turns blue shoes white, c’mon man
He turns blu-oo-ooh shoes white
W H I T E white
White like a light, light
He turns blue-ue-ue-ue-ue shoes
Go on shine ‘em up, come on, come on, tie ‘em right, tie ‘em right
Keep it going, come on, get my feet moving, come on
Tell me what
Let's try one more time [Spoken]
you knew what you were doing
[Go to Song Page]
I had a baby out of wedlock
Her old man got me in a headlock
I was an unwed father
But don't bother feeling sorry for me
I took a lot of LSD
I smoked a lot of mar-ja-weenie
But it did not help me
It did not set me free
Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help a guy like me
You saved me, you forgave me
And I swear you set me free
Aw, you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son
You know the way that I’ve been living
Has been taking without giving
And I hurt a lot of people
And I lost my friends
I spent a little time in prison
But I know the Lord has risen
And I'll never need
To be locked up again
Oh Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help a guy like me
Saved me, you forgave me
And I swear you set me free
Aw, you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son
I think you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son
I had a baby out of wedlock
Her old man got me in a headlock

But don't bother feeling sorry for me
I took a lot of LSD

It did not set me free

i've searched all around
[Go to Song Page]
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
I'm glad my faith is stronger
This world won't last much longer
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Na na na na na na
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
This time you can't restrain me
Though in the past you've slain me
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song now
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Well I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
And I've opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
And I've sat in the shade of God and I’ve watched the joy increase
I said I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth

Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
And I've sat in the shade of God and I’ve watched the joy increase
I said I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
one way
[Go to Song Page]
One way, one way to heaven
Hold your fingers high
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard the poet say
I took the one less travelled by
And that’s made the difference
Every night and every day, I say
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
In my youth I knew the truth
But I spent many years just sitting on the wrong track
Now that I’m older I’m bolder
And it’s high time I should be getting back
And that’s a fact
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
There’s only one way to heaven
Look inside you
He will guide you
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
One way, one way to heaven
Hold your fingers high
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard the poet say
I took the one less travelled by

Every night and every day, I say

I think I love you
I've only known you for a couple-a hours
I think I love you
When you're near it’s like a room full of flowers
Oh yeah
We met last monday in the LA heat
In the downtown section on a one way street
A man with a bible dropped a tract at my feet
You know the rest, your way is always the best
I think I love you
You're the best thing that's happened to me
Yes you are [Spoken]
I think I love you
I used to wonder where you could be
I used to seek after truth and follow where it led
So many facts and philosophies inside my head
I've heard so many people telling me you was dead
I bet they all own a bible that's never been read
Mm-hmm-hmm
Woo-ooh-hoo-ooh
Woo hoo ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh hoo
All my life I've been wondering what I should do
Suddenly I stopped wondering
‘Cause I really found the answer when I fell in love with you
Wooh
I think I love you
I think I love you
And I know that you love me
I think I love you

the day that a child appeared
[Go to Song Page]
I was thinking just last Sunday
How the world confuses one day
With the rest throughout the year
And that one day is the day that a child appeared
Just a baby in a manger
But the room was filled with strangers
And a star hung in the sky
Oh like an angel
On the day that a child appeared
Little children please remember
Why we celebrate December
It's much more than Santa Claus
But you're right about the gift and tree
A gift of life at Calvary
Ooh I was thinking just last Sunday
How the world confuses one day
With the rest throughout the year
Mmm-hmm-mmm
And that day is the day that a child appeared

what goes through your mind
[Go to Song Page]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live
Or if you drown
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
The things you think you want
They only screw you up
You can be good or bad
Do what you want to do
And it’s up to you to decide
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Look for the truth and you'll find it girl
The truth's ahead, you're behind it girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
What goes through your mind [x2, faintly]

What goes through your mind [x2, faintly]

no change can attend jehovah's love

Every human tie may perish
Friend to friend unfaithful prove
Mothers cease their own to cherish
Heaven and earth at last remove
And the music world grows garish
While the moral codes regroup
But no change can attend Jehovah's love
No, no, no change can attend Jehovah's love
No change can attend Jehovah's love
No, you know no change can attend Jehovah's love
You know he loves me, he loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, loves me. he loves me
Every human tie may perish

He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
And you will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbors
They might think that it's not true
But when you open up the morning papers
You will know they've seen it too
He will come back like he promised
With the price already paid
He will gather up his followers
And take them all away
He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
And some will sleep but will not die
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure that he must know
And he's been there once already
And has died to save their souls
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
And you will drop your hands and stare
Well he's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home

In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eyes
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six si...
If the band will play six sixty si...
If the band will play six sixty six
In the midst of the war he offered us peace

i am a servant
[Go to Song Page]
I am a servant, I am listening for my name
I sit here waiting, I've been looking at the game
That I've been playing, an' I've been staying much the same
When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame
I am a servant, I am waiting for your call (Aah aah)
I've been unfaithful, so I sit here in the hall
How can you use me when I've never given all
How can you choose me when you know I quickly fall
So you feed my soul and you make me grow
And you let me know you love me
And I'm worthless now, but I've made a vow
I will humbly bow before thee
Oh please use me, I am lonely
I am a servant, getting ready for my part
There's been a change, a rearrangement in my heart
At last I'm learning there's no returning once I start
To live's a privilege, to love is such an art
But I need your help to start
Oh please purify my heart
I am your servant
I am a servant, I am listening for my name
I sit here waiting, I've been looking at the game
That I've been playing, an' I've been staying much the same
When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame
I am a servant, I am waiting for your call (Aah aah)
I've been unfaithful, so I sit here in the hall
How can you use me when I've never given all
How can you choose me when you know I quickly fall
So you feed my soul and you make me grow
And you let me know you love me
And I'm worthless now, but I've made a vow
I will humbly bow before thee
Oh please use me, I am lonely
I am a servant, getting ready for my part
There's been a change, a rearrangement in my heart

Oh please purify my heart

song for a small circle
[Go to Song Page]
Well my life is filled with songs
But I just could not get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better life begins
And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah you're so crazy but you know it
And I love you as we both crawl toward the lamp
With Clapton on guitar
And Charlie on the drums
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Bobby watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside starts growing
Ah let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing
And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if these words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know he loves you
Well my life is filled with songs
But I just could not get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better life begins
And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah you're so crazy but you know it
And I love you as we both crawl toward the lamp
With Clapton on guitar
And Charlie on the drums
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Bobby watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside starts growing
Ah let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing
And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if these words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know he loves you
