Red Rover
This song’s been on my mind a bit recently. And I just heard it again. Figured I’d post it.Written a few years ago, another I’ve been meaning to come back to in a serious way.Time will tell what will happen with it.

Red Rover
As my momma says, “It’s a brand new day.” I’ve got a band-aid on my knee,
And all the grass stains are washed away, and those hard falls just a memory.
So put me in, let me try; I promise you, I’ll get it this time.
Red rover, red rover, oh please send me over: I’m ready to play today,
And while my face is the same as yesterday, it’s my heart that has changed.
So what do you say?
So put me in; let me try: You’ll feel my wind, as blow by,
And you’ll realize that you feel pride that I am on your side.
So call on me, cause it’s my turn, you should shield your eyes,
or they may burn,and you will learn what I can do when I break through.
Red rover, red rover, oh please send me over: I’m ready to play today,
And while my face is the same as yesterday, it’s my heart that has changed.
So what do you say?
Red rover, red rover, oh please send me over: I’m ready to play today;
And while my face is the same as yesterday It’s my faith that has change,
So get out of my way
Believe me, I’ve been on my knees and I know nothing ever comes easy
‘Cause yesterday band-aids and blood stains, but I’ve come to play today.
So don’t waste your time on what you can do:I’m sorry dog, I thought that you knew,
that by the time you turn around you’ll have to take two
Cause I’ve just blown through you
Where’d you get the track of the kids’ voices? It sounds just like the one that Jars of Clay used for “He” on their self-titled. You can hear a kid scream “GIVE IT BACK!!!”
