WHISTLE BACK What if there’s no redemption
What if there’s no cure
What if when I die, it’s a surprise
& I never know for sure
If I’m in a lake of fire or walking
On a street of gold
I fell asleep, no soul to keep
& I just died when I got old What if mama leaves the kitchen
What if daddy leaves the plow
What if sister leaves the church, gives up
The search & is happy still somehow
Now that she ain’t got no Jesus
Now that she ain’t got no sin
She just put them down
Went lost from found
& she never cried again We’re all crazy
We only know in part
So, here’s to the hazy
& to the hope you carry
Like a seed inside your heart What if shouting hallelujah
Is a whistling in the dark
& the fire burns, the whole earth turns
But there never was no spark
& we’re all out to pasture until
The night makes us go slack
Well if you’re keeping faith
You’re losing face
So you might as well whistle back We’re all crazy… What if there’s no tomorrow
What if there’s just today
& all you got is one last shot
To live to love to hate
& what you want ain’t coming
What you need you cannot have
Well, I’ll tell you this: it’s hit or miss
So, you might as well whistle back We’re all crazy… © 2005 Reva Williams
