God Told Me I Could Come Lyrics

I walk into the room

It's decked out like a tomb

Strange priests were sitting round

Strange people on the ground

God told me I could come

God told me I could come

There is nothing I can do

That I need to prove to you

You got to move some

You got to move some

I find my way at last

I echo in the past

I shy and drift away

Come back again to stay

God told me I could come

God told me I could come

There is nothing I can do

That I need to prove to you

You got to move some

You got to move some

It's a very special party

With Tom and Dick and Marty

Where the special people meet

With their coke and little feet

God told me I could come

God told me I could come

There is nothing I can do

That I need to prove to you

You got to move some

You got to move some

Here we come in twos and threes

On our feet and on our knees

Saying thanks and pretty please

Past the snipers in the trees

With our reading and our math

Looking for the flowered path

God told me I could come

God told me I could come

There is nothing I can do

That I need to prove to you

You got to move some

You got to move some

We come popping happily

We come singing harmony

But we lose it in the teeth

Of the lying thief

And we lose it in the hope

Of the hangman's rope

And we lose it in the eye

Of the one who says goodbye

We come popping happily

We come singing harmony

And we find it in the way

We rise up again today

And we find it in the calm

That will not obey the bomb

And we find it in the love

That death can't shove 


From the face of one you know

While the rivers overflow

And the seagulls burn

And the oceans churn


God told me I could come

God told me I could come

There is nothing I can do

That I need to prove to you

You got to move some

You got to move some

And when the time has come to choose

There will be no king of the Jews

There will be no prince of men

Only me and us and them

When the season frays

And the seas part ways

Best to loose your hold

On fool's gold

Best to rise from your knees 

And stand up with the trees

God told me I could come

God told me I could come

There is nothing I can do

That I need to prove to you

You got to move some

You got to move some
