From the recording The Three Faced Man
Lyrics
SOLE’
(Chorus)
Thou Shalt Not Fall, Thou Shalt Not Die,
Thou Shalt Not Kill, Thou Shalt Not Kill
I remember that time and place when I learned his name and I saw his face
Just to look up at the top of the man you can see how many people wouldn’t understand
With his evil eyes and his chilling stair, you can shake his hand hard I wouldn’t even dare
One thing that I can attest to prove the man is here to save me and you
In fact just the other day I was feeling down on my luck he stepped up and he got in my truck
I started to explain why shit is so bad he said smile it ain’t that bad
See we all have a bad day maybe one, two, three or more
See it’s all up to you and how you walk through a door
(Chorus)
Everyday he sends a lyric, its just a testament to his spirit
It’s such a blessing to hear his songs especially when the days go long
It’s a window to his mind, when he writes them down
A path I like to follow while staring at the ground
It’s a he said, she said while making a move
Giving us something, something to prove
Now when he was younger he made mistakes and fucking faced them all
Hand cuffs don’t bother a man when he can eye the devil and make him fall
Sole’ turned that day around and got his back up off the ground
With a purpose he will bind, hold his candle and let it shine
(Chorus)
I see the pain down deep in his eyes, it’s a mark that he can’t disguise
A scared up beast of a man, another victim who has lost his dad
A subject I know very little about, he keeps it that way while I’m left with doubt
Well I hope he knows I’m always here, I need a moment to shed a tear
Sole’ stands up to this day, a man who has something more to say
With nothing left to prove, all he has left is just the truth
If you have nothing left to share, then with that cross he will bear
Weather or not you might need a hand, at your side he will stand
(Chorus)
