Over The Rhine - Idea #21 (Not Too Late) lyrics

Idea #21 (Not Too Late)

words and music: Detweiler

recording: OHIO

Till we lay these weapons at your feet, Lord

How long, how long

Till we call all hatred obsolete, Lord

How long, how long

Till we walk like lovers thru Bethlehem

How long, how long

Till the lion lies down with the lamb, Lord

How long, how long

Too late

I know it's not too late

To wrestle with this angel

Higher and higher

Don't let go

Higher and higher

Before we know

How does it end

How does it end

We're all riding on the last train

Trying to find our way home again

Till we wash the blood from the hands of our fathers

How long

We're all sisters and brothers, sons and daughters

How long, how long

Our eyes all shine in different colors we cry, Lord

How long

Our dreams our tears are all the same by and by, Lord

How long, how long

Too late

I know it's not too late

To climb up Jacob's ladder

Higher and higher

Don't let go

Higher and higher

Before we know

How does it end

How does it end

We're all riding on the last train

Trying to find our way home again

It's not too late
