lyrics

Some set their heads to swimming, nothing to lose
And drift about the good times with slippers in their boots
Some walk the straight and narrow, only passing through
Trading this world over for a pair of gospel shoes

Gospel shoes are laced with shackles and chains
Fitted for the poor, the runners of the race
Now every hand is folded to the shape of a gun
The target’s ever changing but the war, it rages on

So the armies march onward for the mother and the son
As this world of screaming color is bleached in the blood

Freedom was a simple word, so reverent and true
A long time ago, it meant the right to choose
who you love and how to live, but now it’s so misused
and twisted by the politics of men in gospel shoes

So the armies march onward for the mother and the son
As this world of screaming color is bleached in the blood

Our mother she is crying, her broken heart is blue
Cause we’re too busy dying to love this life we lose
She’s grown weary of the lying
She’s tired of all this fighting in the name of gospel shoes
