HE STOOD TALL

HE STOOD TALL
(lyrics by Chopper Franklin)

Red eyes, green sky
Weird vibes can cause a man to hide
Wolf howls, fate scowls
Men died to prove that he’s alive

He stood tall
When they gave him a little shock of Heaven
He had it all
It’s a wonder that God went off and left him

No soul, one life
A wretched form created by the knife
He craved…inside
Reflected a creature, a creature by design

He stood tall
And had a past he tried not to remember
He had to fall
Hidden by the warmth of burning ember

One wish, five women
Brought together to give him some religion
Pray low, sweet scar
It was decided she’d be the kind to love him

He stood tall
When they gave him a little shock of Heaven
He had it all
It’s a wonder that God went off and left him

He stood tall
And had a past he tried not to remember
He had to fall
Hidden by the warmth of burning ember
