Soul To Keep lyrics

I walk a straight line, I sometimes seem to bend

I’m trying to do right, though I sometimes seem to break

My will is good, I mean no harm, just finding my own

When I get there, I’ll get there all alone

A traveling heart, it wonders but it never understands

A wondering heart can’t love you, but I’ll take you by the hand

We all have our cross to bear, but mine ain’t made of fear

Your act of faith is a violence and I don’t want you near

I know none of your gods minds is made of wisdom and truth

She knows her pain and sorrow but wears it like a crown

A traveling heart, it wonders but it never understands

A wondering heart can’t love you, but I’ll take you by the hand

My baby sings of Jesus, I walk the sinner’s road

Don’t need a book to tell me what’s right and what is wrong

So judge and frown upon me, but you stumble at my feet

For the ones who blame are guilty

And I’ll pray your soul to keep

Now I could write a love song for all the world to know

That the ones I left behind me were the ones that I loved so

And the preacher keeps on preaching

He sings of the promised land

He preaches of fear and sorrow, that’s why I’ll never understand

And my walk is getting heavy, but my feet won’t weigh me down

I keep hearing all your whispers, but I like to keep them sound

So judge and frown upon me, but you stumble at my feet

For the ones who blame are guilty

And I’ll pray your soul to keep
