Lyrics

Don’t nail your colours to the past,
Don’t fly the flag from the ruined castle
Don’t go re-hiring the same old cast
For all your dramas, it ain’t worth the hassle

Holy Moses I feel like a Man of God, I wish I could reach you
Laying around and laying down the deal, should I feel a fraud?
I wish I could teach you. Can I reach you?

Every time you hear his voice, it’s an invitation for another bad choice
Every time you hear his voice, it’s an invitation for another bad choice

Don’t nail your colours to the past, you shouldn’t play with that guy
You’re saluting the sinking mast, my ship is coming in you should give it a try

Holy Moses I feel like a Man of God, I wish I could reach you
Laying around and laying down the deal, should I feel a fraud?
I wish I could teach you. Can I reach you?

Every time you hear me speak, it’s an invitation, got to say it real sweet
Every time you hear my voice, it’s an invitation to make a good choice
For you and me too

Hear me coming on through with a message to you
Be my congregation
Hear the voice of truth. Hear the voice of reason
Hear the voice of truth. Hear the voice of reason
Hear the voice of me girl
Hear the voice of Donny Hathaway and the Detroit Emeralds
Playing on my turntable for you
And the Love Unlimited
Can you feel the need in me? Can you feel the need?
Rock my boat, baby rock the ocean
Ah honey I feel like a Man of God, I got no dog collar
Can you hear me holler!!!?
