Testo Highest Stakes - Bill Champlin
Testo della canzone Highest Stakes (Bill Champlin), tratta dall'album Burn Down the Night
A warm welcome to the new arrivals
You've been long overdue
Excuse us for the way we've kept our world
Now it's all up to you
We need some kind of new revival
To save much more than our souls
No bible's gonna turn this thing around
No laws will patch up the holes
And the children will teach us of living and caring
I just pray that it happens in time
They will finally reach us through giving and sharing
They will touch us with rhythm and rhyme
We were praying for a tribe of teachers
To come and show us the way
To lead us from our own confusion
They are arriving today
They'll take us past our TV preachers
And take our hands from our eyes
We're so in need of inspiration
Not just another disguise
And the river of life will be flowing and knowing
Then we all will be learning of love
All the love that we have will be showing and growing
And the skies will be clearing above
Let there be no mistakes
The highest stakes of all
Could be gambled away
We've always had our cake
This time we ate it all
Will we have it again?
What will tomorrow bring
If everything is gone?
Can we stop it today?
'Cause we've been borrowing
From children still to come
We're still looking for one man to save us
Wow, we're totally blind
We're the victims of our own expectations
Falling so far behind
We're neglecting what the good Lord gave us
When we're closing our minds
Listen closely to the next generation
They can save us in time
And the children will see through the curtains of darkness
And the river will bring back the day
We'll be turning our backs on the lying and heartless
And the love will be back here to stay
Let there be no mistakes
The highest stakes of all
Could be gambled away
We've always had our cake
This time we ate it all
Will we have it again?
What will tomorrow bring
If everything is gone?
Can we stop it today?
'Cause we've been borrowing
From children still to come
Heaven knows we need friends
Let there be no mistakes
The highest stakes of all
Could be gambled away
We've always had our cake
This time we ate it all
Will we have it again?
What will tomorrow bring
If everything is gone?
Can we stop it, stop it today?
'Cause we've been borrowing
From children still to come
Heaven knows we need friends
