Not To Babylon

"Southern Gothic" draws its inspiration from the haunting landscapes and complex moral struggles that define the Southern Gothic literary tradition. Influenced by the works of William Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor, John Steinbeck, and Ernest Hemingway, the song explores themes of sin, grace, decay, and redemption.

Southern Gothic

The light of the Passover/Easter Moon through history still shines. It illuminates the darkness.

Night of the Paschal Moon

 I’m a do over fool, not a second chance man
 Good at goodbyes, bad at a plan
 Talk when I shouldn’t, shut down when it counts
 Break things easy, then drink to drown
 Yeah, I dream about fixin' what I put you through
 But dreaming ain't doing—and I'm still me too
 So if life gave me one more shot at you...
 I’d wreck it again—I’m a do over fool

Do Over Fool

[Intro]
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop!
Doo-wah, doo-wah!
Snap it down for the Lord above!
Hey hey! Yeah yeah!
Woo!

[Verse 1]
I was runnin’ through the shadows, tryin’ to find my way (doo-wop!)
Feelin’ like a lost soul, driftin’ every day (doo-wop!)
Then I heard You callin’ — loud and clear and true (yeah!)
Now every step I take, Lord, I’m walkin’ with You!

[Pre-Chorus]
You pulled me out of the night (outta the night!)
Lit a fire so bright (burnin’ bright!)
Now I'm dancin’ in the daylight of Your love! (Shoo-wop!)

[Chorus]
I’m gonna shine like Heaven, oh-oh! (doo-wah!)
Glowin’ with a holy light, yeah! (snap-snap!)
You broke my chains, now I’m never the same—
My heart’s alive, and it’s burnin’ bright!
I’m gonna shine like Heaven, oh-oh!
Everywhere I go, they’ll see—
That Jesus saved me, changed me, raised me—
Now I’m finally free! (Shoo-bop!)

[Verse 2]
You gave me joy like a river runnin’ through my soul (yeah!)
Turned my broken pieces into something whole (mmm-hmm!)
I used to walk with my head hangin’ low,
But now I’m lifted high — and everybody knows! (That’s right!)

[Pre-Chorus]
You pulled me out of the night (hallelujah!)
Lit a fire so bright (so bright!)
Now I’m singin’ with the angels up above! (Shoo-wop!)

[Chorus]
I’m gonna shine like Heaven, oh-oh!
Glowin’ with a holy light, yeah!
You broke my chains, now I’m never the same,
My heart’s alive, and it’s burnin’ bright!
I’m gonna shine like Heaven, oh-oh!
Everywhere I go, they’ll see—
That Jesus saved me, changed me, raised me—
Now I’m finally free!

[Bridge]
No more fear (no more fear!)
No more shame (no more shame!)
I’m walkin’ out (I’m walkin’ out!)
In Jesus’ name!
Every heartbeat sings His praise—
I’m redeemed, I’m not the same!

[Final Chorus]
I’m gonna shine like Heaven, oh-oh!
Lightin’ up the world for You!
You’re the reason I'm breathin’, movin’, believin’—
Everything You say is true!
I’m gonna shine like Heaven, oh-oh!
All because of Calvary—
Jesus saved me, changed me, raised me—
Now I’m finally free!

[Outro]
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, shine on…
Snap-snap, shine on…
Doo-wah, doo-wah…
Shine like Heaven!
