I was beyond the law Above the unwashed horde The Devil cut me down I went before the Lord I begged him for a chance just to sing my song He said “you'll sing it loud, but you won't sing it long” [Chorus] Stack overflow Yeah Stack overflow I said “I've been so good, and I have been so wronged And I just can't get back to where I once belonged” He said “I made you weak so they could make you strong— You never really know when your race is run” [Chorus] Stack overflow Yeah Stack overflow And all the ladies say “Love, love, will carry you on Through the frozen heart, to the setting sun” “Love, love, will carry you on Through the frozen heart, to the setting sun” Stax overflow [Bridge] Who's gonna shout it out, shout it out now? Who's gonna shout it out? Shout it out now Ladies and gentlemen—the dream we all dream of One little girl In a world starving for love Were you there, when they took my Lord? Were you there? Did you tremble when they took my Lord? Did you tremble? (“Love, love, will carry you on Through the frozen heart, to the setting sun”) He gave me water And there was none in the well [Chorus] Love, love, will carry you on Through the frozen heart, to the setting sun Stax overflow
