Lyrics
Only The Meek Survive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With all your pomp and all your glory
Still there's really no surprise
When it comes down to the end
Only the meek survive
You say that God is a God of goodness
He only helps those who help themselves
You see I found God, he helps the helpless
And leave all the rest to help themselves
You say you grit your teeth
And you ground out goodness ton by ton
But you find your gold in the fire
The meek and the poor will find the Son
You told me God is patriotic
You said he's best friend with uncle Sam
But I know that road it leads to heartache
Sam's lost the faith that cause him to stand
Ah, you say, you'll pull yourself
By your bootstraps, that's just fine
But, when it comes right down to the end
Only the meek survive
When it comes right down to the end
Only the meek survive
