Apostle’s Tongues Lyrics by Kevin Kerby

Apostle’s Tongues

2012

[Verse 1]
It's not the thing that knocks you down
But the way you get back up that makes the difference
Don't let it fill your head with hate
But let it fill your heart with good, fear, and reverence
And when life's anchor drags you down
Smile like you never heard a better joke
And especially when they say that you can't
Sing as though you have a fourteen karat throat
[Chorus]
You fill your lungs
With apostle's tongues
Fill your lungs
With apostle's tongues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
And when the enemy's too strong
Swallow up all your stupid pride
Or you'll be left alone
Like the long forgotten satellite
Left to rot and rust
While spinning 'round so dervish-like
And then you'll just burn out
Like the widow woman's back porch light
[Chorus]
So fill your lungs
With apostle's tongues
Fill your lungs
With apostle's tongues
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
It's not the thing that knocks you down
But the way you get back up that makes the difference
