lay down
lay back
lay back and love
let the wind blow
coupled with its breeze
set your mind at ease
though it turn
to hurricane
though the earth shake,
and bad boogies,
so called men,
steal real men's
hearts
and dead men's bones,
and children too,
though they cause,
their own
quaking,
to rattle those,
who just want
to lay down, . . .
. . . in the end,
they will
go down,
way,
way, . . .
all the way down.
. . . stay in the pocket,
pray away,
death by tornado,
hailstone and fire, . . .
for the innocent,
the child,
the elderly,
the foolish,
and naïve,
lay back
lay back and love
lay back,
'cause the Lord,
the master of
all,
of nature's forces,
who obey him
will shelter you, . . .
peace be still,
lay back
lay back and love,
'cause those,
that cause,
havoc
in the streets
and yell,
demanding
what is not theirs,
twisting the arm
of what is law
what is right,
throwing tantrums
defiant, . . .
spreading violence,
. . .lay back
lay back and love
'cause the Lord,
the master of all things,
king of creation,
will lay us down
when it all goes down
