Child, I'm gonna walk
Walk that milky-white way
Child, one of these days
(One of these days)
Child, I'm going to walk
Walk that milky-white way
Child, one of these days
(Well, well, well, well)
Child, I'm gonna walk on up
And take my stand
Child, I'm gonna join
Join that Christian band
That's when we walk
Walk that milky-white way
Child, one of these days
(One of these days)

Child, I'm gonna meet
Meet my loving mother
Oh child, one of these days
(When I get there)
Child, I'm gonna meet
Meet my loving mother
Child, one of these days
(Well, well, well, well)
I'm going walk on up
And take her hand
When we reach, when we reach that promised land
When we walk
Walk that milky-white way
Child, one of these days
(One of these days)

Child, I'm gonna meet
Oh meet God the Father
And God the Son
(God and the Son)
Gonna meet God the Father
And God the Son, God the Son
Woahh, going to meet, hey, hey, yeah
I'm gonna meet God the Father and Son
Well, I'm gonna meet
Meet God the Father
And God the Son
(God and the Son)

There's nothing that I want more
Than to see the Father
And God the Son
When I get to heaven
I'm gonna see
See my mighty God
And the Son who died for me
When I get to heaven
Gonna see the Father and the Son
(God and the Son)

Going to see the Father
Meet with the Father
Don't you wanna see the Father
Oh, see the Father
And see Jesus, and see my Jesus
When we walk that milky-white way
I don't know 'bout you but I'm going someday
I'm gonna walk that milky-white way
Gonna see the Father and God the Son
(God and the Son)

Going to see the Father
Meet with the Father
Don't you wanna see the Father
Oh, see the Father
And see Jesus, and see my Jesus
When we walk that milky-white way
Ooh
I'm gonna meet God the Father and Son
Well I'm gonna meet, meet God the Father
Don't you wanna see Jesus
Won't you come and walk with me
When we meet the Father God and the Son
(God and the Son)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
