Wrote this song yesterday (Thursday, 8.05.16) and just wanted to share it with you tonight.
Never been much of a bible scholar, but let’s see if I got this bit right…
JOB 1:21
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. (KJV)
Oh, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
and all men are pagans in the blessed light of day
naked I came from my mama’s womb and naked I’ll return
and naked I’ll lay you down and make your sweet love burn
For the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
and all men are beggars when a woman’s got her say
naked I came from my mama’s womb and naked I’ll return
and naked you swallow me, tongue-tied and taciturn
For the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
and all men seek magic when the moon is in full sway
naked I came from my mama’s womb and naked I’ll return
and naked we share that last piece for which we yearn
Oh, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
and all men are sinners when it comes to Judgement Day
naked I came from my mama’s womb and naked I’ll return
and naked I’ll be turned to ash and so this life adjourn
For the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
all men are pagans in the blessed light of day
