Glenn Kaiser Album: Time Will Tell Track: Good Hope & New Philadelphia
Good Hope & New Philadelphia Lyrics
There is a town And it's a little one You take the road to Good Hope Many pass on by Not much to look at But we need it so
Where brother meets brother With respect in his eye Where sister loves sister You can live and die in peace In Good Hope
And a little bit southeast There's another road To New Philadelphia I have seen high corn and beans And painted ponies in the fields 'round New Philadelphia
Well the land is rich But a family can be richer still When birth is a celebration And a little town stands still When to bury its own Is a solemn ''Goodbye'' Where it matters what you think How you eat and drink And it matters how you live and die In New Philadelphia
Up these roads With the red-winged blackbirds Up these roads Where neighbors wave Up these roads Where the sun and rain both greet you Gravel, dirt, or paved
Good Hope and New Philadelphia On the road to Good Hope I'm on the road To New Philadelphia God's grace unfolds Come ride with a Friend
