Neil Young sings "When God Made Me"
"Did God give me my voice so that others could silence me?"

UPDATE 9/10/05 - Neil Young Performs "When God Made Me" on "Shelter From the Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast".

Here are the lyrics for the new Neil Young song "When God Made Me" from Sharry (Up in T.O. keepin' jive alive) posted on Rust:

WHEN GOD MADE ME

Was he thinking about my country,
or the colour of my skin?
Was he thinking about my religion,
and the way I worshipped him?
Did he create just me in his image,
or every living thing?

When God made me.
When God made me.

Was he planning only for believers,
or for those who just had faith?
Did he envision all wars
that were fought in his name?
Did he say there was only one way
to be close to him?

When God made me.
When God made me.

Did he give me the gift of love
to say who I could choose?

When God made me.
When God made me.
When God made me.

Did he give me the gift of voice
so some could silence me?
Did he give me the gift of vision
not knowing what I might see?
Did he give me the gift of compassion
to help my fellow man?

When God made me.
When God made me.
When God made me.

I been listenin' to that awesome dude for almost 40 years since before his Buffalo Springfield days. I heard the song during the relief concert the other night.

For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising. (Acts 17:28-29)

Big Neil fan here. Got to see him two Septembers ago. I was amazed and full of wonder to hear a song about God coming from Neil. The cool thing is that like CSN&Y songs from the 60s and 70s, he doesn't pull any punches when questioning the craziness of religion, class systems and racism in society.

Neil Young is one of a handful of rockers I still listen to.

His love songs make my heart ache. Full of passion and belief.(Comes A Time)

When I hear Rockin' In The Free World it still gets me angry at injustice.

I've been outta the loop for a few years, so will down load his new stuff. Looks good.

His love songs make my heart ache. Full of passion and belief.(Comes A Time)

You have to hear him play, "You are like a hurricane. There's calm in your eye..." Live. "When you dance, do you senses tingle and take a chance? In a trance, while the lonely mingle with circumstance."

Sedan Delivery is awesome live.He did Rockin' in the Free World as well. Neil jumps around that stage like he's 24 again. And all of his kids were in his Greendale rock opera concert. It was all very amazing. I've had a crush on Neil since my bro in law gave me Deja Vu in 1970. I was 12.
