Elmer's Song

Leave your burdens behind\nLeave your burdens behind\nLet your spirit be\nFree from gravity\nLeave your burdens behind\nGod is waiting for you\nGod is waiting for you\nThere’s no need to be\nIn uncertainty\nGod is waiting for you\nOnce I was exactly like you\nAn empty vessel on full view\nI thought that there was no other way\nI thought the thoughts you think today\nMy wife was sinister and unclean\nMy children were morose and mean\nMy discontentment was so complete\nMy mind retreated into sleep\nLove will live in repose\nLove will live in repose\nLet your leisure zone\nBe your cornerstone\nLove will live in repose\nBut soon a voice inside of a dream\nSaid «Son you can become My Cream,»\nWith words that echoed in me God said\n«White people should remain in bed.»\nTake a load off your feet\nTake a load off your feet\nTurn your misery\nInto ecstasy\nTake a load off your feet\nWe will give it to you\nWe will give it to you\nSleep is purified\nSweet and sanctified\nSo we’ll give it to you
