Description
A song about the many dangers of blind faith. The dangers that can occur when one does not ask the right questions, as the many who followed the Rev. Jim Jones back in 1978, are a prevalent theme here. When you’re searching for answers, as many of us find ourselves doing in this life, be careful. There are a lot of people who will exploit this in someone and take advantage.
Lyrics
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 their 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 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
