Gerry Rafferty Benediction Lyrics

Benediction Lyrics

Genuflect, show respect,

Don't forget it's a papal command

Take your seat, all you need

Is your rosary beads in your hand.



Time to start, cross your heart,

Be a part of the mystical band

Look at everybody trying to find their own place

Looking for a heaven up high

Working just to get into a state of grace

We know we're gonna need it when we die.



Say your prayers, fill your fears

Shed your tears, you're afraid of hell's fire

As you sit there and pray

You'll get carried away by the choir.



And the incense is sweet, takes you right off your feet 

And makes you higher

Look at everybody trying to find their own place

Looking for a heaven up high

Working just to get into a state of grace

We know we're gonna need it when we die.



Look at everybody trying to find their own place

Looking for a heaven up high

Working just to get into a state of grace

We know we're gonna need it when we die.
