Black Happy Shuckin` The Jive Lyrics

Shuckin` The Jive Lyrics

I see my brother walking on the edge

he's holding back his fear and so he smiles instead

of looking for the snap and all the weight is on his back

and when he shifts his head and he plays dead he

whispers what I want I want



Peace coming down over me

My sisters caught up in the holy lights

But what she chose to do is so far removed from right

that she's always wanting something more

to keep herself from being bored and when she shifts

her head and she plays dead and she

whispers what I want I want



Peace coming down over me



I can't tell you how to live you're old enough now to give

we move in circles big and small on every day

my mind is quicker than my eye

when my heads pointed to the sky

I notice everything inside me is at ease

I wish I could help them all when I can't feel so small

but then I realize sometimes I can't help myself

and every night when I pray I don't know what I should say

I can do more than damn myself



My family is calling, coming any day

and I know by the book that the time will lose it's way

because a world inside is waiting for a place in line to be

where the truth is clear and it appears and they

whisper what I want I want



Peace coming down over me
