Rich Mullins - The Maker Of Noses lyrics

"I believe there is a place Where people live in perfect peace Where there is food on every plate Where work is rewarded and rest is sweet Where the color of your skin Won't get you in or keep you out Where justice reigns and truth finally wins Its hard fought war against fear and doubt And everyone I know wants to go there too But when I ask them how to do it they seem so confused Do I turn to the left? Do I turn to the right? When I turn to the world they gave me this advice They said boy you just follow your heart But my heart just led me into my chest They said follow your nose But the direction changed every time I went and turned my head And they said boy you just follow your dreams But my dreams were only misty notions But the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses And the Giver of dreams He's the one I have chosen And I will follow Him I believe there'll come a time Lord I pray it's not too far off There'll be no poverty or crime There'll be no greed and we will learn how to love And children will be safe in their homes And there'll be no violence out on the streets The old will not be left alone And the strong will learn how to care for the weak And everyone I know hopes it comes real soon But when I ask 'em where I'd find it they seem so confused Do I find it in the day? Do I find it in the night? When I finally ask the world they give me this advice Well they said boy you just follow your heart But my heart just led me into my chest They said follow your nose But the direction changed every time I went and turned my head And they said boy you just follow your dreams But my dreams were only misty notions But the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses And the Giver of dreams He's the one I have chosen And oh I hear the voice of a million dreams Then I wake in the world that I'm partly made of And the world that is partly my homemaking And oh I hear the song of a heart set free That will not be kept down By the fury and sound Of a world that is wasting away but keeps saying (keeps on saying) Saying boy you just follow your heart But my heart just led me into my chest They said follow your nose The direction changed every time I go and turn my head They said boy you just follow your dreams But my dreams were only misty notions But the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses And the Giver of dreams He's the one I have chosen And I will follow Him (Just follow your dreams) (You just follow your dreams)"
