I'm Gonna Get You Now

Phil Keaggy


It was a question of proper perspective, 
Conjecture, simplified illusion. 
From your vantage point, you're taking 
Advantage of the obvious conclusion. 

I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now, 
I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now. 

Just a matter of mistaken identity, 
Of the mad or the merely mistaken. 
But when the truth comes out 
And the facts roll in, 
Will the innocent be really forsaken. 

I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now, 
I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now. 

Now that you are seventeen 
You are quite a beauty queen 
Can you still remember when 
You were on your daddy's knee 
Sometime, anytime, it can do a person well, 
To recall, bring to mind love 
You shared and you felt sometimes. 

Looking about, see where you stand 
On shaky ground. 
I'm speaking out loud, speaking out loud, 
You don't understand. 
Moving around, moving around, 
You get nowhere. 
You're sadly mistaken, I truly care. 

I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now, 
I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now. 

Poetic pages, lyrical phrases, prophetic sages 
Still speaking from the past. 
Another analogy an unchained melody 
One more apology for not keeping to the task. 

I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now, 
I'm gonna get you now, I'm gonna get you now.
