Hide your children there's trouble around   Preacher, have you heard of the man around town?      Little girls playing in the river   When he finds them the rest makes me shiver   He holds them down where their feet won't reach the ground   And he waits for the struggle to end   Yes he waits for the struggle to end      I'll go find him and save his soul   Lucifer's position has taken its toll   Just one prayer will end the madness   A few words will end the sadness      And I'll search the town until I track him down   And I pray I do the right thing   Yes I pray I'll do the right thing      So he finds the man and he shares with him   He feels guilty for what he's done   I'm sorry you see for these awful deeds   Now what must I do to purge them?      Well my son you must be baptized   If you want to see the Christ   The preacher holds him down where his feet won't reach the ground   And he waits for judgment to come   Yes he waits for the Lord's will to be done
