Gospel Changes — текст песни (John Denver)

The Prodigal Son, he`d been away a while
he was working his way back home now
over many a ragged mile
When he finally crossed the river
and his father saw him near
there was a joyful sound, for all the world to hear

I listened to what the Good Book said
and it made good sense to me
talkin` about reapin` what you`re sowin`
people trying to be free.
Now we`ve got new names and faces, this time around
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin` down.

Jesus, He did not doubt His gifts
though He knew that He had not long to live
He took care of the bus`ness
of teaching us how to fly
then He bowed His head and laid down to die

I listened to what the Good Book said
and it made good sense to me
talkin` about reapin` what you`re sowin`
people trying to be free.
Now we`ve got new names and faces, this time around
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin` down.

Jerusalem I see you standing high
but if you lose your salvation
there`ll be no tears left to cry
Now some men worship a Golden Calf
while others are bought and sold
and if we live like that brother we pay the toll

I listened to what the Good Book said
and it made good sense to me
talkin` about reapin` what you`re sowin`
people trying to be free.
Now we`ve got new names and faces, this time around
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin` down.
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin` down,
Still Goin` Down
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin` down.
