Last night I dreamed I was looking down   On the planet earth spinning 'round and 'round   And as I cast my gaze about,   I watched her lovely light go out   The light went out      And floating in the black of space   I was looking into god's own face   And in his hand he held this tiny earth   He said well ain't it a shame what they've done to her   After I'd shown them to the holy road, the holy road   After I'd shown them to the holy road, the holy road      Well, I laid a bounty in their hands   And only gave them ten commands   But they never learned their lessons very well   And they drove my garden straight to hell   That's when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road   That's when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road      Let me tell you   Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools   And your presidents only dupes and tools   And the money makers and the chiefs of staff   Who worshipped of that golden calf   They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road   They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road      And then I told him   Well you made the sun and you made the sky   The things that crawl and the things that fly   And then you made the human race   And he said well everybody makes mistakes   I thought they'd want to walk the holy road, the holy road   I thought they'd want to walk the holy road, the holy road      And even though it was just a dream   It seemed as real as it could seem   And often dreams the truth forebodes   You got to get back children on the holy road   Get back children on the holy road      Get back children on the holy road   Get back children on the holy road   Holy road, the holy road   Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road   Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road   Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road      On the holy road, on the holy road   On the holy road people, on the holy road   On the holy road now, the holy road   On the holy road children, on the holy road
