Through the ages we have lived and died
|
Kings make war and sages prophescied
|
Somewhere between the first creation and tonight
|
Was a million incarnations of me, myself and I
|
|
I was the savior in another life
|
With a white robe flowing in the morning light
|
Walked with angels through my darkest plight
|
In the desert for forty days and forty nights
|
|
I was the tyrant with an angry tongue
|
Who neglected the old and enslaved the young
|
It was quiet when I brought the air into my lungs
|
And sang the very first song ever sung
|
|
I'm carrying, the memory, of these things, inside of me
|
I greet them with humility
|
They're with me for eternity
|
|
I'm telling you, with sincerity
|
In what you do and what you be
|
Is gonna follow you, like it follow me
|
And be with you for eternity
|
|
I was a woman swollen full with child
|
I was a healer, Shaman in the wild
|
I was the prosecutor, I was put on trial
|
I put forth the accusation, I made a denial
|
|
I drank the blood of Jesus from a wooden cup
|
I ate a bit of heaven then I spit it up
|
I caught my brother lying and I called his bluff
|
I led the sheep to slaughter once his time was up
|
|
Twice I brought the masses down to their knees
|
One time with love and the next time with greed
|
My childhood aspirations got the best of me
|
My suicide became the worlds destiny
|
|
I'm carrying, the memory, of these things, inside of me
|
I greet them with humility
|
They're with me for eternity
|
|
I'm telling you, with sincerity
|
In what you do and what you be
|
Is gonna follow you, like it follow me
|
And be with you for eternity
|
|
I was a man with a pointer on the trigger
|
I burnt the temple down and rebuilt it with one finger
|
I was the first singer to lullaby the lord to sleep in the manger
|
I was the stranger on the road to Damascus
|
Saying turn your eyes to God and you shall receive the answers
|
Turn your eyes to God and receive the answers
|
Turn your eyes to God
|
|
I'm carrying, the memory, of these things, inside of me
|
I greet them with humility
|
They're with me for eternity
|
|
I'm telling you, with sincerity
|
In what you do and what you be
|
Is gonna follow you, like it follow me
|
And be with you for eternity
|
|
I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now
|
Hope you're listening right now
|
That what is coming to you is what's you
|
Because it's going to be with you for eternity
|
|
I've got a memory, of all these things in me
|
I've got a memory, of all these things in me
|
I've got a memory, of all these things in me
|
I've got a memory, of all these things in me
|
I've got a memory, of all these things in me....
