It’s about to be hopeless

Oh no, believe we’re losing him now, son

If we want to get through this mess

With all your heart, believe, and try to speak loud, son

About the only thing he’ll reply

Is “Oh no, there ain’t no moving me now”, son

Oh no…Oh no…There ain’t no movin me now

Should we try to use force on him?

Oh no, there ain’t no flinch in his eye, son

Then should we try to use force of tongue?

Oh no, he ain’t no man I despise, son

But if we try to use forgiveness

Maybe then, a heel might lift to the sky.

Oh no…oh no…

You know it’s bound to get cold and lonely

Old man, you can’t keep shutting me out

Oh no, there ain’t no moving me now

Oh no, there ain’t no moving me

Oh no, there ain’t no moving me now

It’s about to be hopeless.
