A Few Good Men Lyrics & Chords By Michael Tait

Mt 4.18-22

East River Docks - Brooklyn Bridge
Several locals warm their hands over a fire in a 55-gallon drum when a stranger approaches.

Michael Tait as Hero, Mark Stuart as Petrov, Michael Quinlan as Jude

Hero:
I always knew this time would come
I've been burning with this mission all my life
Divine adventure has begun
But even now it's end is clearly in my sight

This world's became an ugly place
So many races fighting battle toe-to-toe
Their greatest passion is their hate
The new detente is when two brothers come to blows
(turns to the group)

When was the last time that you cared
Or thought to see the world beyond your nose
I'm here to find a few good men
Who have the heart to follow me where I must go

Let's wrestle hatred to its knees
It's time to put love back up on its weary throne
Let's give the needy what they need
And welcome every soul on earth into our homes

I know you've waited all your lives
For your political messiah to appear
I say don't let these clothes fool you
I'm the one - and you'll believe it in a year
Trust me, you'll believe it in a year

(Chorus)
Follow me - we'll see the world through heaven's eyes
I will be the truth in the midst of all the lies
Come with me - leave our earthly things behind
I guarantee if you lose your life you'll find it

Petrov:
Is this job paying anything?

Hero:
Oh, yeah, you'll be rich down in your soul

Petrov:
'Cause I've worked hard for all I've got
You know I've worked so hard for eveything I own

Hero:
There's a treasure up in heaven that every man can know
There's freedom from the things of earth
If you can let them go

Jude:
Let's not be too hasty here
I think we'd better thing and thing this thing through
Are we talkin' a permanent vacation here
Or we can try it for a week or two

Petrov:
Can't you see, Jude, he's serious - It's coming clear to me
Just forget about your pocketbook
He wants us to believe
(turns to Hero)
There's something down inside my heart
That tells me what you say is true

Petrov and Jude:
And if you're the one we've waited for
Then tell us what to do

(Repeat chorus)

Listen up, my few good men
'Cause destiny awaits us down the road
Stand with me, my few good men
You have the hearts to follow me where I must go
