Lyrics for For Beginners

When you're absolute beginners It's a panoramic view From her majesty Mt. Zion And the kingdom is for you Uh-huh Uh-huh When you tumble upon that valley Shark or sparrow line the stairs When the arrows start descending Then they scatter everywhere On a bookshelf in Caledonia Sits a map of passageways Best to stumble upon Mt. Zion To behold the natural gates Uh-huh Uh-huh They say the original sinners Never felt a drop of pain Until that second in the garden Then they felt it each and every day So draw back your bows, you hunters Who have never felt that pain All the absolute beginners They are safe in the shade for today Uh-huh Uh-huh When you're absolute beginners It's a panoramic view From her majesty Mt. Zion And the kingdom is for you Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh
