about

Don't judge a book by it's cover, don't judge a man by his clothes...this man is holding a musical instrument!

lyrics

Jeremiah rode on the desert rowed on the sea
Put it all in a book y’all ought to read
Jeremiah rode in a turban dirty but tied
So everyone knew Jeremiah

Everybody mocked Jeremiah beyond their reach
Shunned his book, no one see
His humble text Jeremiah under lock and key
So no one knew Jeremiah

He would draw you in
Make you look again
Turn your spirit in
Raise your voice again

Some said thief Jeremiah some said Saint
None of them new Jeremiah
Said he go to the end, peer off the edge
Dare to face your own Jeremiah

He would just blend in
Then appear again
If he let you in
Would you betray a friend, no

He can look within
Beneath the skin
Makes you look again
Never betray a friend
Jeremiah
