Name: Missouri
Duration: P00H00M32S
Description: “A story about a girl I met in the L’abri Community. We shared our history, life and wounds from the past. Her wounds were still present. It made me cry, but I also found out I had more trouble with us parting than I thought. During a concert I gave with fellow musician Simon Kempston I really found out it was not only a song of deliverance for her, but it had also become one for myself.”

lyrics

(Music and lyrics by Paul Cherryseed)

What a misery in Missouri
Wounded people, open scars that bleed
It's a misery in Missouri
The righteous one has come to set you free

And I really would be open to meet you
Without you having things on your mind
But until then I will just love you
And leave all things behind

It's a mystery in Missouri
Never saw the hills or history
It's a mystery in Missouri
The Ragtime Blues is catching up with me

And I really would be open to meet you
Without you having things on your mind
But until then I will love you
And leave all things behind

I miss you in Missouri
I realize your wounds are very deep
I miss you in Missouri
No, I'm not sour, just tryin' to get some sleep

And I’d like the peace of mind to say ‘God be with you’
Without me having things on my mind
And from then on I will love you for real
And leave all things behind

We’ll leave things behind
We’ll leave things behind
We will be fine
