I'm   standin' at_  _      the   door_-w _       ay_ my   head_ down i _      n_ my   hands_ _ 
Not   knowin'_ w _        here to   sit_  _      not   knowin'_ w _       here I   stand_ _
My   father looms_  _    a-  bove_ m _           e_ for him_   there is_  _     no   rest_ _ 
My   mother's arms_  _     en-  fold m _      e and   hold me t _      o her   breast_ _
"They   say_ you've b _         een out_   wan_-derin'_  _       they   say_ you've t _         raveled_   far_ _ 
Sit   down__ _        young   stran_-g _        er_ and   tell us_ w _        ho_ you   are"_ _
The   room_ has all_  _       gone   mis_-ty_  _     my   thoughts_ are all_  _     in   spin_ _ 
"Sit   down__ _        young   stran_-g _        er_ and   tell us_ w _          here_ you   been"_ _
 
 
"Well I've   been up_ t _            o_ the moun_    -t _          ain_ I've   walked down b _       y_ the   sea_ _ 
I   never ques_  _        -tioned   no_ o _        ne_ and   no one_ q _          uestioned   me_ _
My   love was_ g _      iven_   free_-l _       y_ and   oft-times w _      as re-  turned_ _ 
I   never came_  _     to   bor_-r _      ow I_   only c _        ame_ to   learn_ _
Some  times it d _        id get_   lone_-l _         y but it   taught me h _       ow_ to   cry_ _ 
And   laughter came_  _      too   ea_-s _       y_ for   life_ to p _        ass_ me   by_ _
I   never_ h _      ad_ a   dol_-l _           ar_ that I   didn't_ e _          arn_ with   pride_ _ 
'Cause I   had_ a mil_  _      -lion   day_-d _         reams to   keep me s _    atis  fied"_ _
 
 
|  _  _ |  _  _ |  _  _ |  _  _ |  _
 
 
"And   will_ you g _        a_-ther   day_-d _          reams_ or   will_ you g _        a_-ther   wealth?_ _ 
How   can_ you f _          ind_ your   for_-t _               une_  when you   cannot_ f _          ind_ your-  self?"_ _
My   mother's_ e _         yes grow   mis_-t _             y_ there's a   trem_-blin'_  _    _      in_  her   hand_ _ 
"Sit   down__ _        young   stran_-g _      er I_   do not_ u _      n-der-  stand_ _
And   will_ you t _        ry and_   tell_ u _               s_ that you've   been too_ l _       ong at   school?_ _ 
That   knowledge_ i _       s not_   nee_-d _         ed_ that   power d _         oes not_   rule?_ _
That   war_ is n _            ot_ the ans_    -w _         er_ that   young men_ s _           hould not_   die?_ _ 
Sit   down__ _        young   stran_-g _      er I_   wait_ for y _        our_ re-  ply"_ _
 
 
"The   answer is_  _      not   ea_-s _       y_ for   souls_ are n _      ot_ re  born_ _ 
To   wear_ the c _         rown_ of   peace_ y _         ou must_   wear_ the C _         rown_ of   Thorns_ _
If   Jesus h _      ad_ a   rea_-s _        on_ I'm   sure_ he w _          ould not_   tell_ _ 
They   treated him_  _   so   bad_-l _       y how_   could he_ w _          ish_ them   well?"_ _
 
 
The   parlor n _       ow_ is   emp_-t _           y_ there's   nothin'_ l _        eft_ to   say_ _ 
My   fa_-ther h _       as_ de-  par_-t _       ed_ my   mother's_ g _        one_ to   pray_ _
There's   rockets i _       n_ the   mea_-d _         ows_ and   ships out o _          n the sea_  _
The   ans_-wer's i _       n_ the   fo_-r _     est_   carved_ u-p _      on_ a   tree:_ _
"  John__ _        loves   Ma_-ry"  _       does   anyone_  _       love   me?_ _
