days of farewell
Be careful how you walk These days are evil look how you talk I hear there are people that are listening This mystery is up to you So you be careful what you do I know there are people who are wondering  [Chorus:] These are the days of farewell Halfway undecided that's our peace, that's our peace  Be careful the friends you keep He might not really be your friend He belongs to the wishing and the wandering Be careful too much at stake You don't want ever to be wronged Don't you ever let the dirty business make you clean  [Chorus:] Amen Amen  Glory be to God I will bless the Lord at all times His words shall continually be in my mouth with praise For I am here today 'cause He said that I would live There's no reason why HIV shouldn't have missed my daughter and my life But it did through the eyes of God, he saw fit for me to be here I will praise the Lord at all times As we live in the last days the Devil will always be up under my feet And I will praise his name Hallelujah  Don't you pretend to be something That you are not hear me my friend I'll tell you what I know it will only sicken you Let us be grateful for what you've got Help me to know what I am not Of my friend there are people who are wondering  [Chorus:]  These are the days of farewell It's undecided, it's undecided Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend My friend, my friend, my friend It's undecided Too much, too much, too much Too much at stake for you and me
