Numbers Lyrics - Philadelphonic - G. Love & Special Sauce

Praise god, for it was written in numbers 

Soon you'll know of the great joy we feel 

Today day to be able to speak freely 

And talk eye to eye 

With a small group of americans 

We feel that the time has come 

For your nation to awaken 

To it's true spiritual import 

And we wish you everything in our power 

To that realization 

Four mourning doves searching in the park 

Saying don't be confused when the night is dark 

Eleven white swans swimming in a black lake 

Told me keep it real and you'll find who's fake 

Two cedar trees half submerged in the water 

Don't prophesize about sons and daughters 

One new master of the form tai chi 

Friends of the accuser and the accusee 

One pimp using songs as his hussy 

Won't be here next year to tell you 'bout nothing 

Two happy kids playing basketball 

Til a war broke out and killed them all 

A bunch of ideas like fireflies 

An eighteen-year-old girl with stars in her eyes 

We saw the gentle trickster on the highway tonight 

Keep your mouth closed and your eyes open wide 

Though the roof may leak in many places 

Shining faces shining faces 

May she sleep in peace 

And wake up in my arms 

Some day soon some day soon 

Some day soon some day soon 

The separation from unity 

Is the descent of the angels upon the ladder of consciousness 

The return to unity is the ascent of the angels upon the ladder 

The descent is good 

But the unity that comes is expressed diversity 

But in diversity there would be no concept of separation 

Those that were numbered 

Had a path to follow 

Fly as swift as the swallow 

Where no enemies can follow 

The path that was laid for the righteous man 

Don't promote the fool 

Claiming he's the wisest man 

As they slander our name in shame 

When our aim is to do what comes natural 

We're hatchin' the fireflies on a river 

Feelin' straght from my toes, knees, kidneys to my liver 

Clouds drop down the dew 

My friends what about you 

Clouds drop down the dew 

My friends what about you 

Though the roof may leak in many places 

Shining faces shining faces 

May she sleep in peace 

And wake up in my arms 

Some day soon some day soon 

Some day soon some day soon 

Though the roof may leak in many places 

Shining faces shining faces 

May she sleep in peace 

And wake up in my arms 

Some day soon some day soon 

Some day soon some day soon
