Robert Abernathy - Goodbye Jesus Lyrics

Hey old friend, remember me?
Are you still there, Can you still hear my voice?
Do you ever think about
Conversations from when I was a boy?
Held my hand when I was lonely
Filled a void when daddy died
Was that you that kept food on our table
And wiped tears from mommas eyes?

Saw you on the news today
Into politics and football games
Seems you're really into needing money
So you can heal the sick and lame
Are you white or an American
Thought you transcended every race
Are you into putting up walls?
Do you love both gay and straight?

So Farewell
So Long
To the Jesus of when I was young
Did you spread your wings and fly?
Goodbye

When you said "Forgive and be forgiven"
Was it only case by case?
Should the pages where you wrote
"Love your Neighbor" be erased?
It's hard to turn a cheek these days
With your finger on a gun
Are your eyes still on the sparrow
While Kids are starving one by one

So Farewell
So Long
To the Jesus of when I was young
Did you spread your wings and fly?

So Farewell
So Long
To the Jesus of when I was young
Did you spread your wings and fly?
So Long my Friend, Goodbye
Did you spread your wings and fly
Goodbye
