Grand Rapids, Michigan, you got a long way to go
You got a hard place to fall
You gotta take your time
Take your time
Fathers are dying
You couldn't wait for an answer
But I can wait till I die
When all the windows are open
Like it's a break in dimension
Some might turn away... but I won't
Warmed by the lightning
Of a strong and holy spirit
It's speaking words and puking swords
Then it will slice to the center
Of the deepest form of being
Some might shy away... but I don't
Come separation, zip up your lips and keep quiet!
There are no words! There is nothing
But a belief that resistance comes in the form of acceptance
Some might shy away... but I won't
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
When I dream, I dream of Grand Rapids!
Taking all my steps in stride. (Grand Rapids!)
When I fall, I fall from Grand Rapids!
What a solitary life. (Grand Rapids!)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Grand Rapids, Michigan, you got a long way to go
You got a hard place to fall
You got a heart-heavy load
You got a long way to go
You better take your time
Take your time
