Needle’s Eye Lyrics by Freight

Start the Night Off Easy

2018

A man had walked a thousand miles searching for the truth inside
He met a hundred gurus, said “I want to pass through the needle’s eye”
But they all told him the same thing, he did not understand
“If you want to learn the ways of God you must forgo the ways of man, like your…”

“Hate won’t do you no good, your hate won’t do you no good. Instead you’ve got to…”
(Give it up give it up) Hand it over (Give it up give it up) Let it go (Give it up give it up) Unload!
Your heart will be lighter and your life will be brighter if you give it up, give it up

But the man just rolled his eyes, and his face would grow so red
“What you say is nonsense, I’ll have time for it when I’m dead”
But after years of loneliness searching for his peace
His mind began to open when he said, “I guess at least my…”

“Fear won’t do me no good, my fear won’t do me no good. Instead I’m gonna…”
(Give it up give it up) Hand it over (Give it up give it up) Let it go (Give it up give it up) Unload!
My heart will be lighter and my life will be brighter if I give it up, give it up

So after all his learning, he said “My lesson I must teach”
“What began as a personal journey has gone beyond my reach”
So he went out to the people, and he gathered a crowd
He took a breath, and he cleared his throat, and then he yelled this message loud

“Your fighting won’t do you no good, your fighting, it won’t do us any good!”
(Give it up give it up) Hand it over (Give it up give it up) Let it go (Give it up give it up) Unload!
Your heart will be lighter and your life will be brighter if you give it up, give it up

“Your wars, they won’t do us any good, these wars, they’re not doing any good!”
(Give it up give it up) Hand it over (Give it up give it up) Let it go (Give it up give it up) Unload!
Our hearts will be lighter, our lives will be brighter if we give it up, give it up

But the people turned away, like a shadow of his old self
So we must open up our eyes and put our pride upon the shelf, because…

“Ignorance won’t do us no good, I said, ignorance it won’t do us any good, so…”
(Give it up give it up) Hand it over (Give it up give it up) Let it go (Give it up give it up) Unload!
Our hearts will be lighter and our lives will be brighter if we give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
