Eternity

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 a savior in another life

With a white robe flowing in the morning light

I walked with angels in my darkest plight

In the desert for forty days and forty nights

I was a tyrant with an angry tongue

Who neglected the old and enslaved the young

It was quite when I brought the air into my lungs

And sang the very first song every 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 gona follow you, like you 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, the next time with greed

My childhood aspirations got the best of me

My _______ 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 gona follow you, like they follow me

And be with you for eternity

I was a man with pointer on the trigger

I brought 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 gona follow you, like they follow me

And be with you for eternity

It's going to be with you for eternity
