The gates are open wide
So if you want to come in
You got to let peace and love abide
In your heart
Don’t you know?
Now all you wicked man
Stop from doing all those wicked things that you doing
Cause on the day, you gonna have to pay
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess on that day*
So stop what you’re doing now
Don’t you know?
The father is watching you
With everything that you do
Don’t you know?
You see your brother walking down the street
You shoot him down and take everything he has
Don’t you know
What you doing ain’t right
It ain’t right, no it ain’t right
In the father’s eyes
Stop doing what you doing
My brothers
Stop doing what you doing
- “The Gates Are Open Wide” by Earl Cunningham [YouTube][Discogs]
