lyrics

Eldridge was a bad man
At least that's what the people said
But Eldridge he was only working out
All the things they put inside his head
He was like an angry lion
Trapped in a vice
They couldn't keep him down
And so they put his soul on ice

Well they locked him in a prison cell
'Til he managed to get away
But living on the run ain't no fun
Both eyes open every night and day
Just a little peace and quiet
Was his one desire
But it never came 'til something set his soul on fire

The man in the moon gave him the word (Ooh ooh)
With a face that was clear and a voice that was heard (Ooh ooh)
Go back to your people but lean on me (Ooh ooh)
They can lock you up again (Ooh ooh)
But I have set you free (Ooh)

Eldridge says he's different now
But a lot of people don't agree
They say he's only trying to free himself
I guess in time we all shall see
But I do believe his message
He ain't no liar
When he says that Jesus can set your soul on fire

Soul on fire (Soul on fire)
Soul

Soul on fire [x6]

Soul on fire (Soul on fire) [x2]

Soul on fire (Set your soul on fire)

(Soul on fire) [x3]

Between The Glory & The Flame
by Randy Stonehill

supported by 5 fans who also own “Soul On Fire”

This album is all about the human condition and our very human, fallible relationship with the world around us, as well as our ever so tense imperfect relationship with a God who the world has turned into a politicized parody of himself. "We are madmen and we are children with a lesson to be learned/we are sitting in the ashes of the bridges we have burned/we are hoping and we are praying, we are holding to the claim that he's coming back to meet us between the glory and the flame" sums it up falling_stars
