Know Where to Be FoundYears ago Dad took me campin’ in the woodsGuess he though roughin’ it’d do me goodTried to wise me up, said when you see cubsWatch for mama bearAnd if you lose sight of the tent at nightThere’s a big rock overlookin’ the riversideIt’s right below the stars, so don’t lose heartCos I’ll find you thereNow and then we all get lostPaths wind crooked..lines get crossedBut don’t wander ‘round in the darkThat’s how you got where you areClimb up where the light pours downSon, know where to be foundNow when my marriage failed I called it fateDrank pints of sin to wash away mistakesBut like dad said once, if you see his sonsThen know the devil’s closeSo I stumbled from a bar and saw a storefront churchThat night the view from my knees ended the searchCos I felt safe, on the rock of faithWith the Holy GhostI could hear my Father sayFlesh and blood will lose its wayBut don’t wander ‘round in the darkThat’s how you got where you areClimb up where the light pours downSon, know where to be foundNever saw the shadows till heaven shinedRescued from rye whiskey by the bread and wineI can hear the Father sayFlesh and blood will lose its wayBut don’t wander ‘round in the darkThat’s how you got where you areClimb up where the light pours downSon, know where to be found©2007 Robert George
