Clinton Collins & The Creekboys: Music
Resurrection Day
()
I'd played a gig and got home late. As soon as my head hit the pillow this song started floating around. I knew from experience that it would be best to get up and record a demo before the next day because it would have traveled on through the ethereal.
Now these mountains are much smaller
Strip and orphan left all alone
Robbed of the glory they were hiding
Picked apart like flesh from a bone
Grandfather labored in these shadows
Until he was broken and gray
Now he rest within this hillside
Waiting for the resurrection day
The democrats promise better
The poor man will get his fair share
The others more for the rich
But to me no one really cares
All these years I've barely broke even
No matter what they portray
My hope is in my Savior
And the promise of the resurrection day
Now some day I will rise
When I hear that trumpet blow
And the veil will be removed
I will know as I have been known
Joy will fill these valleys
And tears will be washed away
But I've got to remain faithful
Until the resurrection day
Look for me on that resurrection day
