Having studied most major religions before becoming a Christian, this is, in essence, my CHRISTIAN MANIFESTO!

lyrics

FAREWELL TO THE BOATMAN
By Mychael John Thomas

Farewell to the boatman…I won’t be coming back again
Been too close to death one too many times
Don’t wanna float away

This is my sincere hope…Whispered on the lips of a prayer
Don’t want feel no pain…On the day You take me there
Could I just walk into a cloud?
Embrace Your presence all around?
Any legend, lie, and myth…All but the Truth will I dismiss

CHORUS
Farewell to the boatman…I won’t be coming back again
Been too close to death one too many times
Don’t wanna float away
Resting in the arms of Love…Hard life but I won’t give up
Gonna see it through because I can…
Farewell to the boatman

Don’t put no coins on my eyes…The ransom is already paid
My spirit always sees…Mysteries have been explained
I have eternal life, the gift
Now there’s only one adventure left
To the next existential plane…There forever to remain

CHORUS (So farewell…)

BRIDGE
Why does it have to be such an uphill climb?
Every aging step seems harder than before…
The taunts of evil are like splinters in my mind
I want to rise above and soar…

SOLO

CHORUS
So farewell to the boatman…I won’t be coming back again
Been too close to death one too many times
Don’t wanna float away
Resting in the arms of Love…
Hard times but I won’t give up
Gonna see it through because I can…
Farewell to the boatman
Farewell to the boatman
Farewell to the boatman
