Lyrics
Land of the Living
Words and Music byThe Woodmen
Verse one
Listen. . . you can hear it breathe
In and out, the rise and fall of belief
Crossroads? gotta make a call
Up or down I rise until I fall (until I fall)
The struggle ? is it worth the pain?
Deliver us from evil, keep us sane
Bridge
I see a sign, a sign a day
You?re miles and miles away
And someone?s gonna pay
Chorus
You want heaven on sight
Save up your money
The preacher don?t teach
No, he?s just talkin? funny
The devil may care
I?ll stay where it?s sunny
In the land of the living
Verse two
Doubters . . . naysayers all
A dime a dozen up against the wall
Believers . . . oh!
Can suffer no loss
Like the price He paid for us up on that Cross
Bridge
I see a sign, a sign a day
That life?s the only way
Oh oh and Lord I wanna say
Chorus
You want heaven on sight,
stop talkin? funny
The preacher don?t teach
No, he just takes your money
The devil may care
I?ll stay where it?s sunny
In the land of the living
Musical Interlude
Chorus (2x)
You want heaven on sight
Save up your money
The preacher don?t teach
No, he?s just talkin? funny
The devil may care
It?s all milk and honey
In the land of the living
