  finally awake

  It should be

  1. If we have listened to Herd, we will show it.

  His demands oppress, and screw up our day.

  It makes us unhappy to hear and to know it,

  And we’ll be stressed if we know and obey.

  (Chorus)

  2. This way of life, like a jail, is a sentence

  With its endless rules and look!, no free time.

  If we apply Letts’ hard line direction,

  We’ll have a life which is mis-er-ab-le

  (Chorus)

  3. Just as a tree dying from lack of water

  whose leaves are brown and no fruit is bearing,

  If we obey the whole Governing Body,

  We’ll all be stressed and have endless sadness.

  (Chorus)

  "Listen, obey, and be stressed

  When you hear Splane's will expressed

  If you’d be depressed and enjoy life less,

  Listen, obey, and be stressed"

  I know I'm no lyricist, but I'm rather pleased with this one anyway

  I don't know the tune. This must be from the new songbook. But I like the lyrics.

  LOL my singing would probably cause the internet to implode. WHen my kids were babies, I'd try to sing them to sleep and they'd cry "Mommy stop singing!"

  I think a more appropriate title for this little WT hymn would be "Listen, Obey - OR ELSE!" (Also known as the "Do What You're Told" song.)

  Funny. While we were in the process of fading, I rewrote the lyrics to "Ever Loyal" during a particularly boring meeting. We giggled so hard we got "in trouble" for causing a disturbance.

  When they played the child rendition at the District Convention for the first time, I was stunned.

  I was shocked, it sounded creepy. Little children saying such manipulating words.

  That was a big turning point for me.

  It woke me up from my nap. LOL
