When the grass was crayon green
& skies were bluer than
The bluest skies you’ve ever seen
I remember friends of mine
Playing ‘till the evening time
And drinking Kool Aid like fine wine
Then I made a big mistake
T’was the last fresh breath I’d take
As I stared into the fiery sun
Bumblebees are on their way
Gonna take my fun away
& soon they had me on the run
Bumblebees have got you on the run & ca-ca the sun
Bumblebees have got you on the run & ca-ca, ca-ca the sun
Now it’s the summer of lost tears
Season of sardonic smiles
Since all those carefree years
I’ve crossed a thousand miles
Now it’s the summer of lost tears
Season of sardonic smiles
Since all those carefree years
I’ve crossed a thousand miles
Faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things that are not seen
Faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things that are not seen
Now to the King who lives forever
To the true God without end
May our thanks & praise end never
Hallelujah, Amen
Now to the King who lives forever
To the true God without end
May our thanks & praise end never
Hallelujah, Amen
