The preacher went up to the Golden Gate and met God there,
With the glow of love in his flowing hair
I'm dreamin' of a time when love and music is everywhere
Can you see that time comin'?
No my son that time has gone, there's things to do
The world has changed since I first met you
Back when The Band played Rock of Ages in their prime,
And the old juke joint was rockin'
Oh Lord there's so much hate,
In a world where we're from another place
Show me how to be like you
See no evil, hear no evil
Feel no evil in my heart
In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart,
In my beating heart
Sky had turned a lotta shades of gray as they walked on
And a gentle rain fell down on them
They found faith in the way things are and the way things change
And they said goodbye like two old friends
Take me up to the mountains high
Or a building top where the spirits fly
Show me how to be like you
See no evil, feel no evil
Fear no evil in my heart
In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my beating heart
Oh Lord there's so much hate
In a world where we're from another place
Show me how to live like you
See no evil, hear no evil
Feel no evil in my heart
In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my beating heart
