about

This is an old hymn. I think a lot about my grandmother when i sing this song. i imagine being in a stuffy old church with uncomfortable pews, i think about her old high voice, or how my mother always sings a little flat to harmonize.

You know what this song is? this song is a prayer that begs people to return to a conscious way of being. this song is a spell for the people in your family to return to a considerate way of being. this song begs them to be at attention with the state of the world. this song is for every cop that can lay down their riot gear but chooses not to. this song is for everyone that has missed the point. this song is an open invitation to the correct side of history. See this struggle and join us any time. George Floyd

all purchases from this track will be donated to the KC bail fund. where the fight continues every evening after the peaceful performative protests the media loves are over.

lyrics

Careless soul, oh, heed the warning
For your life will soon be gone
Oh, how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet your God

Careless soul, why will you linger?
Wandering from the throne of God
And your life is spent in folly
Oh, prepare to meet your God

Careless soul, oh, heed the warning
For your life will soon be gone
Oh, how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet your God

Hear you not the earnest pleadings
Of your friends that wish you well?
And perhaps before tomorrow
You’ll be called to meet your God

Careless soul, oh, heed the warning
For your life will soon be gone
Oh, how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet your God
