BEEN THERE DONE THAT

                        BEEN THERE DONE THAT                    

I met a long haired hippie

whose past has taught him well

He pulled himself from the bottom

and freed himself from hell
 

An Angel burning in a fire

his broken wings of lead

They held him down Left him bound

A life embraced with dread

 


He asked THE LORD to give him death

and let his wings decay

There's nothing left a helpless man

the hell if he will pray

 

I'm on this earth for just one thing

to take the world with me

You see I'll suffer to my death

till then seek misery

 


Come with me to my hell

and snort a line of coke

I'll roll a joint that never ends

from dusk till dawn we'll smoke

 

Lord I'll ask you one more time

I have no more to tell

The LORD just cried "OH SON" he said

I'll lift you from this hell

 

Your wings of life renewed again

come walk with me awhile

No time to stop your journey now

you've walked so many miles


 

Teach the things that you possess

give your life to me

If just to change one life on earth

you've done my destiny

 

You lived the pain and felt insane

what better way to teach

When people cry and ask you why

you've practiced what you'll preach

 

Now take your knowledge

Spread the word be honest and commit

My son you see there's no one

that can say you hypocrite

 

You've lived the pain and felt insane

and felt the burning fires

Your wings decayed had dying days

Now teach your new desires

A man truly saved, turns back to save others. Good to hear. So few understand anything that principle and inevitably find themselves swept away again.

This is very mind blowing. Great write love the flow. The message is hidden but yet uncovered very easy.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
