Judgement Day Blues

I've been standing on this mountain Thinking hard on jumping down It took so long to climb this mountain Still thinking hard on jumping down There ain't nothing but my faith and the thin air Between me and that hard ground Have I been standing here for hours? It feels like standing days Have I been standing here four hours? Feels like standing on ten days Time stands still, it freezes when you don't have words to say When you pray on Judgement day I have seen my mother weeping And I've wiped away her tears If you hear my mother crying Won't you wipe away her tears If you hear from my dear father Tell him it's a little worse off than he feared When that Judgement day comes calling You had best be on your knees When that Judgement day comes calling You had best be on your knees Begging to your Lord for a little forgiveness And sweet mercy please
