A Note From Mr. God
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.
I was so down
Just hanging around
Wondering what to do
When suddenly I was surprised from out of the blue
The birds sang their song as I walked along
I suddenly felt quite odd
'Cos out of the sky fell a note from Mr God
And it said
You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
You must take it while you can
Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You got a choice but you must choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God
Ah ba la la etc
Yeah this is a song about this man who's walking down
The street and he's had a little bit too much to drink, for about twenty years.
And he sees this piece of paper on the ground and he picks
It up and it's just a, it's just a piece of paper somebody dropped out of their bible.
It's kind of a tract you know, one of those things that somebody writes down their,
Their ideas about how to explain God to somebody else they want to give
This piece of paper to and this person just drops it on the ground and this guy
Picks it up and he starts reading and thinks this is about me.
How could anybody know about me? Except for God.
And that's why he thought this was a note from God.
And it wasn't. But he thought it was. But it wasn't.
But he thought it was, and that's what's important.
You know what happens when you start getting involved with God.
Your life starts changing and you start getting kinda happy and you know,
Kinda messes up your viewpoint of life, you kinda change your perspective and,
And the first thing you know you're so glad that things have changed in your life
You wanna go tell all your friends about it, and that's what this guy did.
He wanted to go back and tell all of his friends that he found
This note from God and it said
You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
So you must take it while you can
Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You have a choice but you know, you got to choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God
So if you feel down
With your chin on the ground
And suddenly you feel odd
Well just look all around look down look
Down on the ground you some might see some
Kind of piece of paper floating around might just be
A note from Mr God
