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...
