BEN HARPER - God Fearing Man
Listen mister brother sister
family and friend
I fear with each day pass
our time grows closer to the end
listen stranger passer by
and those I never knew
there's not one day that you are living
has been promised to you
I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach out for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man
listen mother sister brother
relatives and kin
you want to know just where you're going <
tell me what gives one the right
to say their God is better than anybody else
don't we all have a right
to find God for our self
I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach up for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man
when I rise with the morning sun
I give thanks to my God
for the gift of another one
and when my day is over
and complete
I reach to my God
to put me back on my feet
I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach up for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man
