VII.I'm Countin' On You (*Tom Marvel - Tom Troxell)

G o d: Amos, leave herds awhile
come and sit with me
I`ve helped them through the valley of death
I`ve broken their chains of exile
yet they seem to think that I don`t matter
they seem to think I must be dead
don`t they see they`re the ones I`ve chosen
to lead the way?
and If they fail now
all mankind may go astray?
I could have chosen another people
promised another promised land
I could have given away every secret
but then what use would life be to man?
I`m troubled, Amos, your God is sad
but I`m not convinced,
I`m not convinced you`ve all gone bad
Amos, I still have faith in you
and Amos, I'm countin' on you.

A m o s: but God, what can I do?
I`m only a keeper of sheeps
I`m a simple man - mind my own affairs
and I always got a good night`s sleep
well, yeah, I`ve seen what`s goin` on
and it troubles me too
but what can one poor man do?
I`ve tried to do my part by prayin` to you.

G o d: well, Amos, prayin` is good
prayin` essential
but it don`t always get things done
sometimes you`ve got to raise a little hell
If you want to see the next day`s sun
and Amos, I`m puttin` my faith in you
Amos, I'm countin' on you
I'm countin' on you.

A m o s: but God, what can I do?
I`m not an eloquent man
I`m not a loud man
and the people seem to only hear
noise these days
but I`ll go if you want me to
and I`ll do the best I can
but, God, I`m tellin` you, God
I`m only a simple man.

G o d: just go spread the word around!
tell them I sent you and I`m lookin` down
and I`m getting mad
scare `em If you have to
shake up the status quo
just go!
Amos, I`ll see you find the words you need
to pull you through
and Amos, I'm countin' on you
