The Myth of Tomorrow
Lyrics by Larry J. Knight, Jr.
Arrangement by L. J. Knight, Jr. and V. S. Major

Sleep precious children sleep,
our lives in the next world ain't far ahead,
Rest little children, rest your weary souls
for the Lord's a comin' soon
to take our spirits home.


Remember the land of our mother,
sweet land of our mother
take our spirits home

Remember the bend of the river,
to the bend of the river
take our spirits home

Dream precious children dream,
close your eyes and believe in sweet deliverance
Pray pretty children, kneel before the Lord
for salvations train's arrivin'
so climb on board.


Believe in the life everlasting
true life everlasting
take our spirits home

Believe in our life's redemption
our redemption is a coming
take our spirits home

I am really sorry about what has happened in New orleans. The effects will be far reaching and I understand the peoples pain. I understand your sorrow too. Stay safe and strong and all we can do is pray for the best and give help to our brother man. Tell Your Fiancee' hello for me.
