Jim Jones

Might i have a thing to say

If i promise then i'll look the other way?

Might i have a chance within

If i trust in you to wash away my sins?

Cause we all need someone strong

To make us feel as though there's nothing wrong.

Yeah, we all need someone strong

To make us feel as though there's a place we all belong,

To give us hope when all the hopes we hold are gone,

To fill the faithless with a faith no less than blind,

To say the soul will live forever on the other side.

Now lay your children on the ground,

Hold there heads and gently force the poison down.

All the elders now join hands

And take that leap of faith and follow jim jones to the promise land.

Cause we all need someone strong

To make us feel as though there's nothing wrong.

Yeah, we all need someone strong

To make us feel as though there's a place we all belong,

To give us hope when all the hopes we hold are gone,

To keep us all so well behaved and holding on,

To tell us lies when the lies we tell ourselves prove wrong.

And i refuse to ever call it suicide

When our souls will live forever on the other side...

On the other side...

On the other side...
