lyrics

I see a man standing up atop a hill
He says come home with me it's time to get your fill
I can see it in his eyes there's a truth to what he tells
But the message is a secret and I'm afraid lest I grow ill

I hear the preacher talking on that AM radio
He says I'll go to hell unless Jesus saves my soul
Now this Jesus he speaks of I've heard of once before
But the people I see with Him seem like such a bore

There's people all around me and they tell me where to go
And I'm spinning round in circles standing up top this plateau
I don't know where I'm headed and I don't know where I'll go
But the choice is mine to make so you best move down the road

I took my bible off the shelf just the other day
I dusted off the cobwebs and all the old decay
I soon began to realize that I had gone astray
So I got down on my knees and prayed "Lord take my sins away"

There's people all around me and they tell me where to go
And I'm spinning round in circles standing up top this plateau
I don't know where I'm headed and I don't know where I'll go
But the choice is mine to make so you best move down the road
