Climb An Olive Tree
Lyrics: Casia

(Intro - spoken)
When the ravens...come to feed
The thorny rose of love
Will cut you till you bleed
Every woman
Every man
Shall fall to their knees
And beg to be free
(short solo)
(V1)
Poor Betty she's walkin with the dead
Too much bad lovin'
She's trapped inside her head
Like a nomad
Along the Dead Sea
Looking for the scrolls
To bring back her dignity
(Prechorus)
What was lost
Can it be found
Will yesterday's sorrow
Be tomorrow's rebound
(Chorus)
Climb an Olive tree
On the road to Jericho
You will meet your maker
And know which way to go
The deaf will hear your words
And the blind shall see
On the road the Jericho
Climb an Olive tree
(V2)
Bob's heart is in turmoil; nowhere to go
Standing by the wayside
With a broken soul
He wanders
Like a beggar man
Looking for refuge
In this forbidden land
(Prechorus)
What was lost
Can it be found
Will yesterday's sorrow
Be tomorrow's rebound
(Bridge)
When your heart
Goes tumbling down
The walls of love
Reach high above the ground
Every prophet and king
Will lead you astray
The broken hearted must heal
To live another day
(Prechorus)
What was lost
Can it be found
Will yesterday's sorrow
Be tomorrow's rebound
(Chorus)
Climb an Olive tree
On the road to Jericho
You will meet your maker
And know which way to go
The deaf will hear your words
And the blind shall see
On the road the Jericho
Climb an Olive tree
On the road to Jericho
Climb an Olive tree
