SAVED HIPPY

I REPRESENT THE LAST OF A GENERATION

THAT WAS BORN IN THE 60's

THE LAST OF THE HIPPIES

WHEN SUNSETS WERE GOLD, PURPLE AND RED

AND THE NIGHTS FILLED WITH STARSHINE

WAY UP OVER OUR HEADS

 

I REPRESENT THE LAST OF MINDSET

THAT SAID LEAVE US ALONE

TO DO AS WE PLEASE

WHEN FREEDOM WAS CHOSEN, RED, WHITE AND BLUE

AND WE HATED A GOD

THAT WE NEVER KNEW

 

BUT JESUS CAME TO ME ANYWAY

JESUS WALKED WITH ME EVERYDAY

NO, YOU CAN’T SAY TO ME

JESUS ISN’T REAL

HE LIVES INSIDE OF ME

HE’S ALL I FEEL

OH, JESUS CAME TO ME ANYWAY

JESUS WALKED WITH ME EVERYDAY

THANK GOD FOR COMING TO ME AND SAVING ME

THANK GOD FOR CALLING ME, AND SAVING ME

SAVING ME

I’M A SAVED HIPPY

 

I REPRESENT THE FIRST WAR ON TV

YOU SEE - MEN KILLING MEN

IN BLACK AND WHITE SCREAMING

WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION AND OPIUM FIELDS

AND WE BLAMED IT ON GOD

EVEN THOUGH HE’S NOT REAL

 

AND I REPRESENT THE LOVE WE ALL BELIEVED IN

A LOVE THAT COULD HEAL

OH, AND A LOVE THAT COULD FLY

A LOVE THAT WE NOURISHED WITH HEROINE AND LSD

TO LET US SEE GOD

AND TO THINK WE WERE FREE

FREE

 

BUT JESUS CAME TO ME ANYWAY

JESUS WALKED WITH ME EVERYDAY

NO, YOU CAN’T SAY TO ME

JESUS ISN’T HERE

HE LIVES INSIDE OF ME

HE’S EVERYWHERE

OH, JESUS!

A LOVE THAT CAN HEAL

JESUS!

A LOVE THAT IS REAL

THANK GOD FOR SAVING ME

AND CALLING ME

THANK GOD FOR CALLING ME

AND SAVING ME

SAVING ME

I’M A SAVED HIPPY
