lyrics

Why Jerico by Jo Stones

There's a line from a poem that I've never read aloud
It begins with a question that I ask myself..
With the sins of our fathers nestled softly on our backs
Will the Love of our mothers give us strength or hold us back?

There's a reason that I've started to pull back from what I started
It begins with this questioning of self..
See somehow I had fallen into something that seemed grander
Than the life I was living til that point in time.

So here I am standing
Not demanding that you let me in
For in time you will seat me at the table like a man.

but Why, Why, Why Jerico
Did you have to go so far babe?
Why, Why Jerico
Did you have to go? Did you have to?
Why, Why Jerico

Seeing eye in a three way angled upwards to the sky
Phrase your wisdom in a way that I can understand,
As I gaze lost in wonder like an orphan of the sky
You send out a battalion like a ladder rising high.

but Why, Why, Why Jerico
Did you have to go so far babe?
Why, Why Jerico
Did you have to go? Did you have to?
Why, Why Jerico


Little red apple in the road
Give a step back or dontcha know
You're gonna get taken Gonna get thrown
Gonna get mashed there in the road (mashed there all alone)
All alone

but Why, Why, Why Jerico
Did you have to go so far babe?
Why, Why Jerico
Did you have to go? Did you have to?
Why, Why Jerico

So here I am standing, Not demanding that you let me in
For in time You will seat me at the table like a man

Ain't about how your looking at this thing that we call life and it's about it
You can get through this thing called life without a map yea it's what's fun about it
Oh trickle down the rain, yea that's what's frightful
Come right and Come again, you might be frightful
Oh I married the trees and I felt it, I felt it then
You see it's frightful, not very frightful, not very frightful...
