Go Down On Your Knees © Chuck LeMonds 2016

When the world is full of trouble
And the sky has turned to grey
And your heart can’t take the news
That comes with the break of day.

When wars are raging round you
And millions are fleeing for their lives
As politicians are looking for someone to blame
The bankers take their slice.

Go down on your knees, go down on your knees 2x
And pray.

When you no longer can protect those
Who you love with all your heart
And darkness settles on the land
Which once gave so much hope.

When greed has been unleashed
Like a tsunami moving to shore
And the weapons factories are rolling in dollars
Then shuffled to the Cayman Isles through the back door.
Chorus


You may be a Christian, a Muslim or a Jew
Hari Krishna or a Hindu, or a Buddha letting go for you
Pentacostal or a Baptist, Johovah’s Witness, Seven Day Adventist
Greek Orthodox, and Lutherns
or all the others I sometimes forget.

I hope everything gets better
But my gut tells me otherwise
All better go down on their knees
All better go down on their knees

Chorus


When you thought the worst was over
But you realize it’s just begun
Take what you can carry
When you have to make a run.

Now the world is full of trouble
And the sky has turned to grey
And your heart can’t take the news
That comes with the break of day.

Chuck LeMonds’ music is a kind of Country Soul gumbo of blues, folk, funk and country with poetic lyrics that call to be heard. In times like these, the music and songwriting of Chuck LeMonds has the effect of a soothing balsam for the soul, or that of a plow turning over fresh soil in a field waiting to be planted in spring. ... more
