skw@ Lyr Req: Honey in the Rock (7) Lyr Add: HONEY IN THE ROCK^^ 13 Oct 98


Jeffs, thanks for giving me the push to take down the words to this. It's on a Guy and Candie Carawan LP, 'The Land Knows You're There' (1986; see a parallel thread for the title song). In the sleeve notes, Guy says: ' I heard the beautiful chorus to [this] from my neighbour Alice Wine when I lived on Johns Island, South Carolina. I added the verses, words and music, to make it a song I could sing.' - Susanne

Chorus
Honey in the rock for all God's children
Honey in the rock, honey in the rock
Honey in the rock for all God's children
Feed every child of God

If religion was a thing that your money could buy
> Feed every child of God
The rich would live and the poor would die
> Feed every child of God
But I thank my soul that it is not so
> Feed every child of God
Both the rich and poor together must go
> Feed every child of God

Some say Peter and some say Paul
Remember that the one God made us all
I'll climb and climb and I'll never stop
I'll climb until I reach that mountain top

The tallest tree in Paradise
People call it the tree of life
And all you little children
You got a right to the tree of life
