"Ruby Jean And Billie Lee" Lyrics

Oh Ruby Jean, last night I dreamed
I was runnin' somewhere beyond the stars
I called out to you and you answered softly
You are the children's eyes, I'm the days gone by

Oh Ruby Jean, it doesn't seem like a long, long time
Since we were born again
Into the dazzling light, uniting black and white
You are the rich brown earth and I'm the flowers that grow

We'll have children Lua, of the kingdom Joshua
They won't be torn by war, nor will they
Kill or hate, or hesitate, to love justice

Oh Billie Lee, it's destiny that we meet again
Here on this earthly plain
I'll see all the worlds with you but you'll have to help me through
You are the straight and narrow path, I'm the wayfarer

Oh Billie Lee, we shall be free in the years to come
To help build the Promised Land
We'll go where the day springs run, forever and live as one
He is the object of our longing, and we're His creation

We'll have children, of the Kingdom
They won't be torn by war, nor will they
Kill or hate or hesitate to love
