BABEL TOWER STEEPLES

words and music by William O. Richardson

      Chorus:

Babel tower steeples reachin' up to touch the sky
Coalition christians TV preachers flyin' high
Tax free corporations bankin' every soul they buy
Tryin' to put a cover charge on heaven's gate
Lord come on down it's gettin' late

They still sit in Moses' seat and play the game
Get in politics and sling mud on your name
Scribes and pharisees you called 'em in your day
Won't you come back down and make 'em go away

I'd just like to say that I believe in you
And I try to do the things you'd have me do
Lord you're the only one I've ever found
That lifts me up and never lets me down
Like all those

(Chorus)

Well I really hope nobody takes me wrong
But there's a reason why I'm singing you this song
It's for all the folks who need God's love today
But they can't see it 'cause there's something in the way
It's all those

(Chorus:)

They're tryin' to put a cover charge on Heaven's gate
Lord come on down it's gettin' late
