I'VE GOTTA GO

 This song is an adaptation of the French Gospel

"Ne rentrez pas chez vous comme avant"

i.e.: Don't go back home like as you were before.

I wrote the following lyrics for the same music. However, the French lyrics is a sermon calling for conversion but my lyrics in English is a kind of short story about the life of a preacher in the wild west and the flock he's leaving for his New Life dedicated to the Word of God.

My title for the song is:

I'VE GOTTA GO

I'm singing it "a capella" on this short video

MY LYRICS FOR THE ENGLISH ADAPTATION

Chorus

I've gotta go and say you good bye
I've gotta go under new blue sky
I've gotta land on new beaches
And proclaim all my preaches

Verse 1

What's the use of words if you don't hear me?
What's the use of teach if you don't listen me?
What's worth happiness when you share it not?
What's worth life if lovin' your bro' there's not?

Chorus

I've gotta go and say you good bye
I've gotta go under new blue sky
I've gotta land on new beaches
And proclaim all my preaches

Verse 2

Now let me go and pray with my God
Now let me go and sing for you God
Now let me go and follow my Lord
Every day of life I could afford

Chorus

I've gotta go and say you good bye
I've gotta go under new blue sky
I've gotta land on new beaches
And proclaim all my preaches
