May God's Work Resume
When the mountain stands black against the darkening sky
And the sky is all a mess with rolling clouds
A picture that is bigger than you or I
A scripture or prescription for the fools, may God's work resume
The black hearts are riding in their steel cars
Their black birds circle overhead
I'll hitch my wagon to a hurricane
And I'll ask the Lord's forgiveness instead
May God's work resume
May God's work resume
A man stands close to a microphone
A pied piper's playing on a tune
Oh, now you cradle of young hearts
Don't let them tell you what to do, may God's work resume
May God's work resume
Oh, they say that love will save you from your demons
Perhaps love's just something that we do
But love's not gonna save me from the boneyard
And there's no one here more beautiful than you
May God's work resume
May God's work resume
May God's work resume
