I once knew a prophet and he wrestled a bear
On a Rocky Mountain highway and an answered prayer
He gave me his voice and the cross I bear
And he sings when I open my mouth
He danced with the devil ‘til he saw the sun
Sometimes he lost, sometimes he won
A holy fire, a blazing tongue
Now I'm the keeper of the flame he tended
The road was narrow and the path was straight
He'd keep on walking ‘cause a quitter can't show you the way
You gotta keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on, oh keep on
Buried in my heart all the words he said
About the garden and the serpent and the unraised dead
Believe he could see what lies ahead
Gave me faith on days that I couldn't
And though his flesh and bones have gone
He speaks to me through foreign tongues
I know I'm right where I belong
I see the bear on the top of that mountain
The road is narrow but the path is straight
I keep on walking ‘cause a quitter can't show you the way
