All Stripped Down

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.

Well the time will come

When the wind will shout

All stripped down

All stripped down

And all the sinners know

What I'm talking about

All stripped down

All stripped down

When all the creatures of the world

Are gonna line up at the gate

And you better be on time

And you better not be late

All stripped

All stripped down

Well you know in your heart

What you gotta bring

All stripped down

All stripped down

No big mink coat

No diamond ring

All stripped down

All stripped down

Well take off your paint

Take off your rouge

All stripped down

All stripped down

Let your backbone flip

ANd let your spirit shine through

I want you all stripped

All stripped

All stripped down

All the men we got

Well they're goin' down the drain

All stripped down

All stripped down

And when I see your sadness

On a river of shame

All stripped down

All stripped down

You got to raise up

Bot the quick and the dead

All stripped down

All stripped down

With no shoes on your feet

No hat on your head

I want you all stripped down

All stripped

All stripped down

Ain't nothin' in my heart

But fire for you

All stripped down

All stripped down

With my rainy hammer

And a heart that's true

I want you all stripped

All stripped

All stripped down
