Assisi Lyrics by Matthew Gair
I hang this cross around my neck
I have no faith but in respect
I hope it will protect me when I play.
Cause I have been to Assisi
And I have seen the Polici
Beat a man for no other reason than they could.
But that man was good.
I have no time for racist men,
I do believe we are all the same,
And I would bridge the gaps if I could.
But some hate runs so very deep
It’s hard sometimes for me to keep
The belief that deep down every man is good.
So listen to these words I sing,
I hope they shine, I hope they gleam
And let them, let them, let them,
Oh Let them bleed into your soul,
Let them find a hole and fill it with something good.
I wish they would.
I wish they would.
I wish they would!
'Cause I have said some awful things
About, behind, in front of my friends,
And I would take them all back if I could.
So I’ll try to be a better soul,
And let my deeds burn through the cold
‘cause everyman should have a heart of gold.
So listen to these words I sing,
I hope they shine, I hope they gleam
And let them, let them, let them!
Oh Let them bleed into your soul,
Let them find a hole and fill it with something good.
I wish they would.
I wish they would.
Oh I wish they would!
Hey I wish oh, how I wish oh!
