Kneel Down

The newborn child is sleepin'
The newmade widow is weepin’
And, oh man, time is creepin' on
Callin' me home
Callin’ me home

Old men play their dominoes
The preacher prays, but only Heaven knows
And once again, the feelin' grows
Callin' me home
Callin' me home

Kneel down by the river
Wash yourself while you pray
He said, one hand in reverence
The other in me
And if you don't, time will bring ya'
To your knees, yeah

They say time's are changin'
But I say they are crazy
’Cause everything just stays the same
Ain’t it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?

Most of us sit, watchin’
While a few are doin'
And while we're choosin' where to go
He’s callin' us home
Callin' is home

Kneel down by the river
Wash yourself while you pray
He said, one hand in reverence
The other in me
And if you don't, time will bring ya'
To your knees, yeah

So you better kneel down by the river
Wash yourself while you pray
You said, one hand in reverence
The other in me
And if you don't, time will bring ya'
To your knees, yeah
