Preacher went up to the Golden Gate,
And met God there,
With the glow of love in his flowing hair

I'm dreamin' of a time when love and music,
Is everywhere
Can you see that time comin'?

No my son that time has gone,
There's things to do
The world has changed since I first met you

Back when The Band played Rock of Ages,
In their prime,
And the old juke joint was rockin'

Oh Lord there's so much hate,
In a world where we're from another place
Show me how to be like you
See no evil, hear no evil,
Feel no evil in my heart

In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart

Sky had turned a lotta shades of gray,
As they walked on,
And a gentle rain fell down on them

They found faith in the way things are and,
The way things change,
And they said goodbye like two old friends

Take me up to the mountains high,
Or a building top where the spirits fly
Show me how to be like you
See no evil, feel no evil,
Fear no evil in my heart

In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart

Oh Lord there's so much hate,
In a world where we're from another place
Show me how to live like you
See no evil, hear no evil,
Feel no evil in my heart

In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart
