Until I draw my last breath on this earth And death it takes me as is promised from your birth I know I got so much living to do I'll be so long asleep the lord I'll pray my soul to keep A place to stay the lord shall grant me sanctuary For peace of mind the lord I'll ask for sanity Seek and I shall find a place of rest for sanctity Save us from imbeciles who think they rule the world Save us from hypocrites whose twisted plans unfurl Save us from warmongers who'd bring on Armageddon Save us from all of those whose eyes are closed To the plight of the African child We get along it's all about the chemistry Up there way beyond the mere exchange of pleasantries Please don't she'd no tears it's all about the energy Save us from imbeciles who think they rule the world Save us from hypocrites whose twisted plans unfurl Save us from warmongers who'd bring on Armageddon Save us from all of those whose eyes are closed To the plight of the African child A place to stay the lord shall grant me sanctuary For peace of mind the lord I'll ask for sanity Seek and I shall find a place of rest for sanctity Save us from imbeciles who think they rule the world Save us from hypocrites whose twisted plans unfurl Save us from warmongers who'd bring on Armageddon Save us from all of those whose eyes are closed To the plight of the African child And so when all is said and done I'll count my blessings spread my wings and fly, fly home
