There's a basket in the heavens Overflowin' full of blessin' For the chirren who will listen to the Lord But the chirren hear the whistle Of the harlot in the temple Of the idol full of trite and shiny toys In the morning you will say If only it were evening I might have rest for my weary soul In the evening you will say If only it were morning I might have light in this pit of woe So the children of the promise Played the harlot with the harlot And the harlot was a harlot after all And the pleasures they enjoyed Were the pleasures that destroyed
All the pleasure and the joy which they sought In the morning you will say If only it were evening I might have rest for my weary soul In the evening you will say If only it were morning I might have light in this pit of woe Can't you see You need to come back home Kibroth Hattaavah Just like your fathers Lie in your graves of desire (3x) There's a basket in the heavens Overflowin' full of blessin' For the chirren who will listen to the Lord There's a basket in the heavens Overflowin' full of blessin' But the chirren never listen to the Lord
