The Old Brownstone The windows were boarded on the old brownstone Well to look at the place, you’d think that no one was home Behind the doors of that four story shell Sat a handful of people, just given’ their minds hell Without in the streets, no one came near And all conversations revolved around fear As gun shots and sirens rang out in the night We sat empty headed as high as a kite Well, how were we to know that farther along, Our Father would give us all a new song And how were we to know that every thing would be right And our lives would be changed from the darkness to the light Well even the little children had frowns on their faces And everyone dreamed of those far away places Where the people were happy and the sun always shined As we drank another bottle of that ninety cent wine Well, how were we to know that farther along, Our Father would give us all a new song And how were we to know that every thing would be right And our lives would be changed from the darkness to the light Through all the faces and through all the names Well some of them died and some stayed the same But a few of our lives we were changed in one night By the power of God from the darkness to the light Well, how were we to know that farther along, Our Father would give us all a new song And how were we to know that every thing would be right And our lives would be changed from the darkness to the light Well now we know, that everything is all right You see our lives have been changed…. by the Lord Jesus Christ
