First To Be
© 2004/2005 Howard's Chapel Author: John D Johnson

Some people think they've got it made in the shade with a 5 year plan
Soon discover that there really was no plan at all
Still others believe in a system of arcane delight
Sweet tradition proven in times of misery
Even more invest in a lifetime of reality
In 15 minutes, you too become the apple of Eve

Even more put their hope and trust in contingency plans
While the old men draw the plans for tomorrow's royalty
As the price to be alive multiplies by 5 prepare to die
We will soon see what the end's game really means(is)

I believe there is more to it than we've been told
I believe the one day we will truly be free

At the crossroads
Left or right
More or less
A question right
When the hour arrives
Will you be ready?
Willing and able?

Tiny demons and tiny angels
Rest on your shoulder
One or the other
When the hour arrives
Will you be ready?
Willing and able?
At the crossroads

guitar solo

Try as you might
You won't get ahead
Though you got God's hand
Though won't rule the land!

So get up and wipe that mud off yourself and stand up tall
And face the wind and find what is
That's the long haul!

I believe that one day we will be in paradise
Just like 2 robbers on the other side of Christ

I believe that there's more to life than contingency plans
Than a portfolio from a Dow Jones industrial man

I believe in the way to life, into paradise
I believe in the path to love

I'm not afraid to lie open to your scorn
No, not afraid
To take a hit for he, who saves

I believe that we'll be living in paradise
I believe there's no feat that can be outdone
