I been working for years and years upon end
Got so much debt worry one day will do me in
Toss and turn nights worry I might have a dream

Heaven can't you help [bad word] on baby let me in
This Silver Lining 
always seems too thin

I ain't well versed in thoughts on original sin
Never seem to find no answers blowing in the wind
I would pawn my soul if it were worth a [bad word] 
Heaven can't you help [bad word] on baby let me in
Open up the gates 
and show me to the Promised Land

Yeah we were born free
Can't you see
You and me

Now I ain't saying we should draw no lines in the sand
But I think it's bout time people take their lives back in their hands
Cause I know there's something pure in this whirlwind

Heaven can't you help [bad word] on baby let me in
Open up the gates 
and show me to the Promised Land

Yeah we were born free
Can't you see
You and me
