Dr. John - Black John The Conqueror Lyrics

There's an old man who lives down on Decatur Street
He's got a little word of wisdom for every single soul that he meets
Every time he get next to me he try to tell me that I really can be
Be one with everything free living in eternity
Lord and I'll never forget him because I tell it
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
He'll say boy, when you get near you'll see heaven on earth is really here
Watch your attitude disappear when you realize there's nothing to fear but fear itself and nobody else can put you in nobody else
Cause you know then that you don't want them to
Lord there's something the words is all here cause they call on you
Ah now the rain gonna fall on you
But it'll make you feel real good when you realize in your heart that all the joy is all you need
Oh it stoned me dead and you know I hope it never ends
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
All the colors in the doors and the windows in your life will all open and never close
And take your church to the one you feel cause I'm the only one that'll tell you the truth and I tell you I'm the one who knows Him
And everything will be open to you and I'll show you the color that I know is real
Do what you want to do and I'm gonna make you know that everything you believe in my heart let me tell you know it's real
I'm gonna tell you that
Black John the conqueror in his hand
Whoa get ready cause
Black John the conqueror in his hand
Everybody get ready now
Black John the conqueror in his hand
It's gonna help you get through it now
Black John the conqueror in his hand
It's a boy you see is seeking the wheel blessing you with the shield oh yes I tell you it's real
It's given up high in the wisdom of the words of wheel when you enter the kingdom you know what I said real you know that its true whatever it is you feel
The truth has a way of being revealed to kill Solomon to come unsealed
Everybody trying to walk through the valley and shadow of death because you know that perdition is real but you be protected with the shield but what you say
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
If you want to get next to me
I'm gonna tell you that you really can be
You got to stop the you there ain't nothing that you can't do
Get yourself free there's no difference between nothing as long as we all living in the same eternity
You can put miles and miles between us now
But we still living here in the same moment
Can you feel the power I'm trying to tell you about
Lord I'm just so glad that I found out and now I'm gonna tell you
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
Black John the Conqueror in his hand
