lirik lagu wake nicodemus – stone breath
nicodemus the man was of african birth
and he died years ago, very old
he was known as a prophet *
at least was as wise *
for the future he did see fortold
‘twas his last sad request
so we laid him away
in the trunk of an old hollow tree
wake me up‚ was his charge
at the first break of day
wake me up for the great jubilee
o the good times are coming
they’re almost here
’twas long‚ long‚ long, on the way
go tell elijah to hurry up pomp
meet us at the gum tree
down in the swamp
to wake nicodemus today
he was known as a prophet *
at least was as wise
for he told of the battles to come
we were cold with fear
as he rolled up his eyes
and we dreaded the shake of his thumb
though the clothes that he wore were so simple and plain
they were patches on elbow and knee
and he still wears the suit
that he wore long ago
as he sleeps in the old hollow tree
o the good times are coming
they’re almost here
’twas long, long‚ long, on the way
go tell elijah to hurry up pomp
meet us at the gum tree
down in the swamp
to wake nicodemus today
’twas a long weary night *
we were almost in fear
that the future was more
than he knew
’twas a long weary night *
but the morning is near
and the words of the prophet hold true
there are signs in the sky
that the darkness is gone
there are symbols in endless array
and the storm that had raged
for so long in the sky
is now driven by bright light of day
o the good times are coming
they’re almost here
’twas long, long‚ long, on the way
go tell elijah to hurry up pomp
meet us at the gum tree
down in the swamp
to wake nicodemus today
wake nicodemus today
