lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah ye-eh
Alright, mmh

I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
Which was in another land
Now my life has changed, it's rearranged
And when I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Yeah yeah yeah ye-eh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah ye-eh
Ah yo-weh

I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me rest
And I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll

He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Wo-aw yeah

Aw yeah
I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
Which was in another land
Now my mind is blown, my head has grown
A solid rock ain't a rolling stone
Wowie zowie that cat's got soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
Yeah he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body 'n' great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Yeah he's the rock that
He's the rock that
You know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about

You gotta rock me on the water
Rock me from my grave
You gotta rock me till I'm feeling good
You gotta rock me till I'm saved, that's right

He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

I wanna tell you
He's the rock that doesn't roll, keep on rocking
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for my body, he's great for my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll yeah

He's coming back
Are you ready
Got to get ready
Got to be ready
Oh yeah
Waaaah

Yea-eh-ah
